Recently I have come up a very unique and talented producer hailing from the UK named Oceaán. I wouldn't even so much as call him a producer as I would a composer because of how beautiful his tracks are. I was turned onto his music from his remix of another favorite UK band of mine, Swim Deep. He remixed their track Honey into a downtempo, ambient dreamscape with solemn guitars and calming vocals, all dripping with reverb. Check it out below.
After hearing that first remix, I had to have more. After pouring over his SoundCloud (which is not as lengthy as I had hoped) I instantly fell in love with his sound. He can take any song and turn it into something special. His remix of Woman's Hour's song Darkest Place was the last straw for me. Simply amazing. I won't go into detail about the rest of his songs. Instead, I will let the music speak for itself. Check out his remixes below to hear more.
That brings me to his original work. I must say that I prefer his remixes to his originals, BUT that does not mean that his originals are any less great. I especially dig the track below. He only has two originals posted on his SoundCloud, but it is a great way to see how he started and it shows how much progress he has made in his production skills when you compare them to his more recent remixes.
Needless to say, Oceaán is definitely a producer to keep an eye on, because you can be sure that anything with his name on it will be worth the listen. All of his remixes are for free download.. so GET ON IT!!! If you want to keep up with all things Oceaán follow him on SoundCloud, and go 'Like' him on Facebook too!
Enjoy! <3
