Electro Concert Onra Prince of the beat scene Onra announces his 2011 debut Australian tour for
Niche Productions, performing music from his highly lauded previous, and
hugely anticipated upcoming projects including November’s ‘ChinoIseries 2’,
the follow up to the immensely successful 2010 record ‘Long Distance.’
At once lush and exhilarating, Onra’s music is a stylistic navigation through a
myriad of decades and genres – the beat blender melting up Chinese funk,
noughties nu-disco, gully street hip-hop sounds and 80s pop - to create
beautifully addictive tune after tune, winning fans and breaking hearts with
each broken beat.
Born and based in Paris, France, Onra (or Arnaud Bernaud, as he is less well-
known) first appeared on his producer friend Quetzal’s 2006 collab-album
Tribute. Since then the Red Bull Music Academy attendee has had the
internet buzzing over several releases which see the producer skilfully
manoeuvre through a myriad of influences. His ‘Chinoiseries 2’ album, set to
drop in November on All City, is being waited upon with bated breath and it’s
not hard to see why – Onra’s keen engagement with the a la mode of
current beat music set to the backdrop of the rhythms and dynamism of hip
hop has been, and no doubt will again be a surefire winner. |
