Abel Okugawa is a down tempo electronic, dub, fusion Recording Artist specializing in creating enchanted soundscapes and inspired music. He has been compared to Lee "scratch" Perry ,Portishead and Bjork . Abel Okugawa's music is deep and beautiful, filled with wonder and makes you want to dance.
Abel Okugawa's 816 Mix takes you places. Far beyond the usual pulp electronica drivel, Okugawa manifests environments of modernity. Sketches both tangible and elusive, this music incorporates an electronic approach with elements of hip-hop, soul, and no-wave. Sometimes seemingly organic, sometimes chilly and alien, Okugawa manages to call forth imaginative scenes. The opening song
'Trumpethed', with an urban-funk vibe, has trademark Okugawa female vocal stylings. Often Okugawa finds himself in Beth Orton-ish territory with these female vocals he characteristically uses so well. From track-to-track, the tone and direction vary. Not static, the album exudes a smooth confidence. In particular, strong songs include 'Dreamseries', 'Angels', '911', and 'Trumpethed'. The track 'Fresh City'
features an MC and beats that break nice. 'Zero Cossing' and 'Chip Chop' are outings in minimalism. On the whole, a highly recommended release.

A brilliant feast of rich compositions
author: Greg
From the moment I first had the pleasure of hearing Okugawa's work, on Big Up Production's Dosage 3 rock climbing DVD, Abel's richness has earned a place on the narrow top shelf of my CD collection.
The opening tracks set a tone but certainly not a trend. None of the tracks sound alike and each has amazing qualities that make this piece of phonic art one of the most well rounded of my electronica collection. I would go so far as to rank it as highly as Future Sound of London, and certainly recommend it to anyone in possesion of an active lifestyle that needs a little musical encompanyment for hours of daydreaming and endless evenings of recollection with a loved one.
