Sapete bene cosa succede, a volte. Ti passa un video, la curiosità s’accende ed è fatta. Se poi il pezzo ti piace, passi al secondo e poi al terzo per finire con un “cazzo ma è una figata”, ed è puro godimento.
Ossia è Daniel Davies, un inglese bristoliano (una città, una certezza) che pubblica nel 2019 “Devil’s Dance” (bandcamp), un cupo affresco elettronico amalgamato in un ambient pessimista e decadente. La fine del mondo pare alle porte, il diavolo si presenta felice e danzante mentre l’umanità è sull’orlo del collasso.
I pezzi si dipanano tra mefistotelici dub pressanti (“Dub Hell” e “Hell Version” con basso finale simil Cure), ambient post-industrial (l’apertura fastidiosa di “Concrete” con finale onirico) e marciume militare minimal-techno (la titletrack “Devil’s Dance). E, se per caso in “Radiation” e nel chilometrico finalone di “Vertigo” l’idea dell’orchestrina sul Titanic vi riaffiora nella mente, non vi preoccupate, va tutto bene: non c’è un transatlantico che sta affondando ma un intero pianeta che sta bruciando. E un sax solitario annegato in un disagio ambient sembra fotografare l’imminente catastrofe.
Ossia è una piacevole sorpresa per gli amanti del genere, è una boccata di aria malata per chi volesse affrontare il futuro con più consapevolezza, è l’ennesimo grido d’allarme che resterà senza risposta.
Perché, come sempre, dentro di noi non sono le domande a mancare ma le risposte giuste.

Boomkat Product Review:
Soundboy supreme, Ossia sends us reeling with an immense debut album of technoid dub brutalism for his staunch allies at Blackest Ever Black. A massive RIYL Demdike Stare, Wasteland, Jay Glass Dubs, The Bug, Jon Hassel...
Long in the works and properly worth the wait, ‘Devil’s Dance’ is a deliriously strong summation of Ossia’s singular style. Dread-filled and fevered, it marks the Bristol/Berlin-hailing producer as a master at negotiating negative space and bending styles to his will, taking what he needs from grime & dubstep, jazz, techno and post-industrial music, and warping it all with an uncanny sleight of hand that only comes from proper dedication to dub craft.
Most brilliantly, nothing is square or regular in Ossia’s sound world. Edges are consistently smudged and slanted, sounds bleed into one another with organic form, but, like a backyard/spareroom ganja farmer, his skill lies in pruning punctuations, allowing his forms to grow wild, whilst knowing where and when to cut and splice. Now harvested, his crop is effectively a highly potent batch with a perfect balance of meditative and psychoactive content.
From the gauntleted noise sculpture of ‘Concrete’, to the weightless skank and skronk of ‘Radiation’, thru the heaving masses of his ‘Devil’s Dance’ and ‘Hell Version’, thru the spectral ephemera of ‘Inertia’ and the 23 minutes of perceptive chicanery in ‘Vertigo’, you have one of the strongest dub records you'll hear for time.
