Olmos (real name Oliver Graham) has been one of the busiest influencers on Australia’s underground music culture this side of the 90s. Through family-run operation Paradise Loft Records, he has quietly imported tens of thousands of dead stock Disco, Boogie and early House records into crates across the country - affording tastemakers a slice of music culture only a trip to NYC would previously have allowed. Thus Ol’s arrival at Gulf Point gleams with the jewels you’d expect from a producer with such inspired tastes.

Raised on a healthy diet of Levan mixes and M+M dubs, his own use of juicy Moog basslines, progressive arrangements and glittering melodies form an EP that modestly harnesses the New York Garage aesthetic he loves so dearly.

Another notch in it's private press endeavours, Gulf Point's third release is a street soul record in every sense. Benny Badge re-laces his boots as the drum machine romantic FREEKWENCY, this time joined by busy Mancunians Sarah Bates on vocals and session sax player Chris Nelson (whom they met busking in the city's renowned Northern Quarter) bringing their own fire to the single.

Nite Class is truly a labour of love. Hailing from the same hotbed as his Freekwency works, Benny Badge's debut alongside vocal enchanters Drew Konichiwa and Penelope Shum gives greatly to lovers of modern soul and funk music. Pleasantly reminiscent of Boo gie's early 80s heyday—with significant endorsement from genre tastemakers Dâm-Funk and PPU (People's Potential Unlimited) —this deluxe edition was exclusively distributed by Diskunion Japan and includes instrumentals and additional band photos.
