Interview in Remix Mag

Oh No
by Dan Frio
Profile on producer Oh No. Oh No, little brother to producer Madlib, discusses his daily practice of making beats and the left-field experiment of recording Dr. No's Oxperiment

He started making beats by breaking into his elder brother's room and learning the SP-1200. Now well past adolescence, producer/writer/rapper Oh No and big bro Madlib (you mighta heard of him) hold down a collective crew of misfits from Oxnard, Calif., with their hypnotic, jazz-infused beats and spiritual affinity for hip-hop's mid-'80s Golden Era.

It was Brother Lib, as Oh No calls him, who introduced him to the artists and rappers living between L.A.'s San Fernando Valley and sleepy Santa Barbara. It was on Brother Lib's bed that Oh No would sit and watch big bro craft his future hip-hop credentials. And it was with Oxnard-area spitters such as Lootpack, Wildchild and MED that Oh No started taking his own at-bats.

So it's slightly jarring to hear the plaintive Arabic vocals and Middle Eastern strings woven with scratchy, distorted guitars and distant horn squalling over kicks and claps that thread through Oh No's latest record, Dr. No's Oxperiment (Stones Throw, 2007).

"My man Egon, he's the mastermind," Oh No says about Stones Throw's general manager and the genesis of his dark and vaguely menacing 28-track beat tape. "He shot me some Turkish and Lebanese music, all kinds of Italian loops — just crazy, ill music — and said, 'Just try to make some beats out of it. Do whatever you want to do and just open your mind to it.'"

Oh No opened both his mind and his car's windows to the experience. "Everything starts in the car," he says. "If I have a record, I might burn it to CD and go bang it out in the car. When I ride to it, I can examine it, put it all together like a Rubik's Cube. You know where you want to put the colors."
It took him "a minute," he says, to get into this new music. But once he did, he moved fast — an Oh No trademark. Two weeks later, he'd sent nearly 40 beats back to the label, receiving the remainder of Egon's new collection in return.

Freed from the car's CD player, Oxperiment beats followed a path like Oh No's others, starting in the producer's trusted Akai MPC2000. Bass lines and keys anchor the drums and loops. Oh No recently discovered Propellerhead Reason and uses it primarily for its keyboard sounds. "From there, I might put it through the Roland VS-1680, add textures to it, then take it to Pro Tools and lay it down, ghetto-style."
Classic style, too. Oh No eschews the latest tech to stay with familiar tools. He records to Pro Tools 5 in Mac OS 9, going through an old Digidesign Digi 001 interface. "I prefer OS 9 for some of its features," he explains. "And I got my plug-ins: reverbs, delays, echoes, stereo effects, wah-wah. The simplest are the best. I'm not doing a Spielberg movie, you know? I grew up off of Pete Rock and Primo. I like it raw."

For this record, Oh No focused on trying to make every beat "something different," he says. "Just totally flip it. Sample it backward, add wah-wahs — whatever. One time I might want to loop it, or I might just try to find some drums or melodies to chop up. I'll flip whatever, I don't care who it is. It don't necessarily gotta come out. Just purely for practice, just doing music. If it happens to come out, that'll be tight."

The Oxperiment isn't all trippy microtonal psych-soul, though. There's some dirty blues, like the Sly Stone-inflected "Bouncers," the Motown jangle of "Come Back" and some Isley Brothers guitar strut ("No Guest List").

"A lot of people say hip-hop is dead, and I understand that being where music is nowadays," Oh No says. "But it ain't dead. Hip-hop is right here in the Ox. You can come out here and hear the real hip-hop all day.

"There's a lot of good music and there's a lot of bad music. You just gotta filter through it. Just like food. I'm not gonna eat bad food. I'm trying to eat gourmet meals all the time, whether it's macaroni and cheese or whatever. I'm trying to make it gourmet, trying to make it the best way I can. That's how music has gotta be."

The Source: 4 Mics for

OH NO
Dr. No's Oxperiment
4/5 MICS

In addition to being one of rap's most consistent and credible independent labels, Stones Throw has also made instrumental albums matter. J Dilla's Donuts and Madlib's Beat Konducta are two recent examples of rap-less releases that can captivate as much as the best music from any wordsmith. The imprint continues its winning streak with Oh No's impeccable Dr No's Oxperiment.

Given that he is rapper-producer Madlib's brother, it makes sense that Oh No is also a double musical threat. The original beats that Dr No's Oxperiment was culled from include a potpourri of international sources. This type of global beatdigging gives the album a tremendously engaging sonic tapestry.

Even though there are only minimal vocal samples sprinkled throughout the album, Oh No does a good job of matching the titles for his tracks with the moods they create. For instance, the hypnotic "Ox Broil" contains a Star Trek-like effect and some Middle Eastern-sounding instrumentation that dissolves into a the sound of water boiling, while the siren-accented wall of sound on the heavy "Alarmsss" seems as though it could have been taken from some futuristic apocalyptic movie set.

Oh No does a great job of keeping the grooves interesting by not letting them go on too long before shifting to the next track. Indeed, with 28 tracks and a running time of just forty minutes, Dr No's Oxperiment is a perfect example of less being more. This experiment was well worth undertaking.

Dr. No’s Oxperiment: Reviews

www.pitchforkmedia.com

OH NO
Dr. No's Oxperiment
3.5/4

Oxnard, California producer Oh No is no stranger to the offbeat concept album. His previous, well-conceived full-length was made entirely of samples taken from the music of Hair composer Galt McDermot. The instrumental Dr. No's Oxperiment was constructed from a similarly limited, unlikely and exotic source. All the samples originated from the Turkish, Greek, Italian and Lebanese vinyl fastidiously collected by Stones Throw's general manager Egon. While it's obviously a completely different (and less hippie-like) oeuvre, in the hands of Oh No, the heavy Mediterranean psychedelia and regional sounds that form the basis of these tracks get a gorgeous and gritty reworking, turning already-smoking Turkish funk into something transcendent.

Digging deep into overseas records crates isn't such a far-fetched idea anymore, especially after years of offbeat Timbaland hits and the Bollywood beats that Oh No's big brother, Madlib, dropped on the excellent Jaylib album. But Oh No makes it sound fresh. The promise of this collision of cultures is immediately articulated in the opening track "Heavy," which fuses lilting and mournful Middle Eastern vocals with a heavier-than-lead, mind-melting guitar line. By re-appropriating exotic string samples and wavering flute melodies in familiar ways, Oh No makes the madcap Oxperiment a success.

UNCOOKED SYMPHONIES
Oh No discovers foreign funk close to home
Wax Poetics Aug/Sep 2007
by David Ma. Photo by B+

Oxnard, California, in the '70s was an unlikely setting for sonic profusion. After all, the suburban landscape is overtly serene, an unwelcoming atmosphere for bass licks and drum kicks. But within the Jackson household, music blared, echoed, and made an imprint on Oh No. "My father, Otis Jackson, was a soul singer, and my uncle Jon [Faddis] played trumpet," recalls Oh No, having benefited from the clamor. "Growing up, my brother and I were in the lab the whole time. And our father was real strict about us not clowning around when it came to music. There were always cats jamming in the studio, and my father made sure we were always there and well behaved. I was only like five years old then, but I remember funk being played 24-7."

Oh No is also swift to assert the insight he's gained from older brother Madlib: "He's about five and a half years older than me, and we shared a room together till I was about ten years old. Just from being there, I was exposed to the illest hip-hop. Whether it was Run-DMC, Juice Crew, Rakim, or De La, Madlib played the dopest of the dope. I never heard any garbage," contends Oh No, who claims to have been a curious kid. "If my brother wasn't around, I'd be on his sampler. And if he was, I'd be watching and learning. Having my dad's discipline, my brother's influence, plus all their records? It was like the best training you could ask for."

Now, at age twenty-eight, Oh No has built his own studio where curiosities are conquered. His latest instrumental project, Dr. No's Oxperiment, employs music by Mazar Besuat, Ozdemir Erdogan, and other international psych-funk pioneers. And, once again, a person of influence would familiarize Oh No to new sounds. "My friend Egon helped me put this whole thing together. Dude's a fanatical record collector. He travels all around the world just lookin' for music," asserts Oh No. The project took shape when Egon - Stones Throw's Eothen Alapatt, whose digging exploits have been well celebrated - gave Oh No a quick mix he had patched together. "The CD he made were of these [Greek, Italian,] Turkish, and Lebanese funk records. The mix only had about twelve songs on it, but I made like thirty beats from 'em! Egon was impressed when he heard it, and I trust his opinion, because these were his records, and he'd tell me if they were in bad taste. With Egon's help, I got the originals, cleaned things up, and that birthed this project. I owe a lot of this to him."

Through a childhood of familial influence and friendly record swaps, Oh No is indebted for the opportunity to retouch classic material. He had the same honor in 2003 when Gait MacDermot allowed him access to his original compositions. The release, 2006's Exodus into Unheard Rhythms, was a benchmark in Oh No's early career, and largely introduced listeners to his production work. Despite how Dr. No's Oxperiment is likened, Oh No seems genuinely grateful for the chances-and music-he's been handed. "These aren't the type of records you'd find in Oxnard in the '70s. [laughs] Seriously, I've been real lucky to have been surrounded by people who love music, and a lot of it straight-up fell in my lap." On his latest findings of foreign funk, with vigor in his voice, Oh No concludes: "The world was crackin' during this time! It's raw, ridiculous raw. They sound like uncooked symphonies! I didn't know music like this existed, but I'm glad it did."
