Time Capsule
Soul Oddity’s Tone Capsule – a seminal electro/IDM classic from mid-90s Miami.

Originally released as a series of 3 EPs, the reissue compiles these into an album, newly remastered by Keith Tenniswood (Radioactive Man) – available for the first time, on x2LP album.

Soul Oddity marked the first outing for a pair of musicians who were instrumental in bringing the UK’s post-rave IDM scene to the US. Having bonded over a love for the Warp output at the time, the pair fused this influence with the sound of their native Miami, where hip-hop, breaks and bass soundtracked a lively party scene.

A masterpiece of machine-driven, emotionally abstract storytelling, Tone Capsule rivals some of the best of 90s leftfield electronica. Twitchy beats and gloopy synth-funk are melded into jams that make for a seriously otherworldly listen – as forward-thinking now as it was in 1996.

This record kickstarts our new reissue sub label Capsule Freak – marking the beginning of our dive into the rich past of dance music history which has brought the scene we love to where it is today. We can’t think of a more fitting time capsule to begin this journey with – over two years in the making, we hope you find this release as wild and intriguing as we do.

All tracks written and produced by Romulo Del Castillo and Joshua Kay
