The Find LP by Ohmega Watts now available at Ubiquity Records

Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - Yeah, I know...

So it's been a year since I've updated this site. I was busy working on 'Watts Happening' right after that update, took a vacation to Jamaica,
W.I. and then 'Watts Happening' was released on Oct. 9th 2007, which
I then took off on a world-wide tour spanning Europe, North America
and Austrailia.

I'm now settled back home in this beautiful day of Feb. 26th 2008 and
letting you know what's up!!!

This site will be getting an overhaul soon, simple yet clean and accessible with tour photos, video's (djing and performances) as well as random other things I'm into, from design to photography and illustrations. There will be more music and an updated player as
well... I hope!!!

I am in the middle of producing the final tracks for Lightheaded's 3rd album titled 'Lo Fi Heights' set to come out on Tres Records this summer, god willing. I am also producing a female vocalist by the name of Ragen Fykes for a project of her singing and me on the producto under the title M64!

I am also working on a production project with 1/2 of the dynamic duo and wonder couple Kevin Robinson aka Electric ILL of Viva Voce on a production project that will draw influences from Psych-rock/ funk/ soul/ and modern day music but we are going to create in a way that is unhindered which will lead to it being undefinable!

Stay tuned... Happy 'LATE' New Year... to all my friends and acquaintances I've met during my recent and last 3 years of world travel. Shouts to the peeps in Sydney and all of Australia + Best Kept Secret in London  and all  the other familia in europe. Dimitris in Greece, Yaan aka DJ Sunny G in Geneva, Switzerland my peeps in Japan DJ Tonk, Shin-ski, and the P-Vine staff... can't forget the C-Vibes staff in Sydney, Aus. with special shouts to Paul for the record diggin' help and Liz, plus my buddy with the many aliases Mark Pritchard, DJ Regal and all the many others worldwide from this last excursion.

Peace and love.

Hello WOLRD!!!
I know this has got to be the longest awaited update. I thought I
delayed on updating before, now over 9 months is ridiculous, but
that's how I do, what I do.

As of late I recently recorded a 50 minute EXCLUSIVE mix for my
label 'Ubiquity Records' that was in honor of Black History Month
using a collection of Re-issued soul/funk records they put out under
their sub-label 'Luv n' Haight'. Expect to see that around online,
iTunes, and around the Ubiquity website this coming week. Not
sure if it'll be a download but listen to it as soon as you can. I have
2 beats on there I talk over, and at the end of it all a short track
that may be on my record titled 'Freak Out!!!' that ends the mix.

Late breaking news is that I MC'd  on the new Shawn Lee album
titled  'Voices and Choices' out now on Ubiquity and will also be appearing on the Bamboos' newest LP (a Live FUNK band from Austrailia) that will be dropping this year on Ubiquity as well.
In more news, I am currently in the process of completing my
sophomore solo release for Ubiquity Records titled 'Watts
Happening'. I will have some long awaited collaborations plus
some other surprises. I'm trying to make it as good as the last...
some people say I out did myself, I think each album I make it a
continual growth on YOU the listeners, friends and fans to get to
know who I am a little more in a personal light. So  this will remain
and serve as an on-going life pursuit of Ohmega Watts.
I'm working on tightening up the final production, then to get the
rest of my writing done for the songs. I'm going to get a little more
personal so I am working with come different sounds to accomplish
the moods but expect what you might expect from me, but also
the unexpected. I have worked with some new instrument
musicians this time around, adding strings, and baritone sax, and
vibes to a few tracks this time around, and a drummer as well. It's
taking shape but the final stages are the hardest, as i get really
picky on the overall sound and direction.

This is the true test of the producer, making the record sound cohesive and yet remain refreshing and innovative without straying too far from the main source.

That's all for now my young CHAMPIONS! Shine bright in all you do,
and remember, only 'YOU' can prevent Forest Fires!

Suggested Reading:
Look up a book titled 'Left to Tell' I can't remember the author
and all the details, but it's a story of a young woman who lost
her whole family and village to a large 3 month genocide, and
her transformation while in hiding, and having compassion and
grace on the man who was sent to do the job and even take her
life. 'Real LOVE there'

Suggested Viewing:

'An Inconvenient Truth' about our current Global Warming Situation.
It can't be masked and overlooked much longer. We need to act now,
spread the work and raise awareness, and do what we can the
RIGHT WAY in helping change the world's course.

'Born into Brothels' an inspirational documentary for anyone who
has a heart for people and those in situations hard to escape that
may want to do something to help in an art related medium or just
helping through any medium. It's a documentary, so some parts
might be heavy to see and hear knowing that these children have
almost no hope there without help. I dedicated my 1st verse in my
song 'No Delay' to the facts of this film and the children depicted.

That's enough to get you guys inspired and thinking for a while.
Keep On...
