TAAHLIAH grew up on rave and hardcore music in Kilmarnock, developed an interest in the emotionally-charged songwriters in her teens, immersed herself in experimental electronic music upon moving to Glasgow to study at the School of Art, and spent six months living in Berlin amid its hedonistic club culture on a student exchange. OSSX’s 2022 plans to put out new material, including some of those unreleased bangers, and tour to new cities in the US and abroad should pique the interest of anyone who likes having fun in the club. And when they dropped their debut EP of original material ‘Split Wig’ via Allergy Season last March, it arrived sounding like a classic, packed full of joyful melodies and breakbeats. The group, founded by New Jersey artists EQUISS and Lektor Scopes and now joined by Juke Bounce Werk member Elise, made their name as edit specialists, with the aforementioned mix featuring reworks of September’s ‘Cry For You’ and Rod Lee’s ‘Puff That Lye’ alongside tracks sampling hits by the likes of Modjo and Janet Jackson.
A full set of their tracks, such as the 100% unreleased material mix they put out last year, has the vibes at 100 from start to finish. DJs were delighted and Bandcamp servers were overloaded in equal measure when it eventually dropped on the ‘Heard U’ EP in December. That’s why their productions and edits are so sought after, such as the Blaze-sampling DJ Swisha collab ‘Luvli Dae :)’ that had people clamouring for its release all of last year. OSSX make the type of records that can rescue any dancefloor - their music is so instantly feel-good that a quick wheel-up and cut in is all a DJ needs to save them from a clanger or deadout set handover.
