Whodamanny has been releasing colorful and evocative club compositions as part of his Periodica sublabel Biloba, and now, with ‘Onda Biloba’, the dynamic DJ and producer expands on these sounds with a full length exploration that overflows with vibrant textures of world dance exotica and paradise pop balearica, resulting in one of his most ambitious and adventurous releases so far. Recorded at his Biloba studio, the album is a sunburst bounty of groove, with downtempo jams alive with searing fuzz leads, expressive vocal interplay and seascape synth solos giving way to deviant disco in a dayglo dreamscape. Loved up lyrical spells play against Hi-NRG hedonism while sunburnt saxophones scream, and subtropical nights are soundtracked by amalgamations of sultry summer samba and blazing funk fusion. Equatorial house beats move the body beneath a pan-cultural carnival parade and fantasy flutes fly over stretches of slow dubby dream balladry while elsewhere flashes of sax, drum, and piano create a body burning fire of sweat, movement, and motion.
