Very disappointed with the music coming out of 8bit in recent months. They’ve lost the spark of last year, in fact so too has Cecille. Out with the likes of Peace Division and Johnny D and in with commercial and boring Oxia and Butch. Not enjoying the current music from Mannheim!

According to Discogs, “Domino” is an un-credited cover of “Eve By Day.” http://www.discogs.com/Oxia-Speicher-34/release/648476

“Domino” sounded more like Patrick Chardronnet’s “Eve By Day” to me, exact same bassline anyway.

Oxia also had a track that sounded almost identical to Stephan Bodzin’s “Ferdinand”. Seems he has a habit of ripping other producers off.

Saying that, “Domino” is a cracking tune regardless.

I agree with the above comment. Sounds like Oxia has had a listen to what is doing good business right now and knocked out his own version without adding anything to the blend. Whatever you say, he is a solid engineer but this is complete shitegeist nonsense.

Oxia was great “back in the days” when he released his soulful stringladen tribal techno and rawer cuts, and although i understand a producer has to go along with the zeitgeist, it sounds like he tries too hard to be appreciated nowadays, following trends that the beatport top10’s preaches. (Not to mention his unacceptable “Sky was pink” ripoff called Domino)…
