Beyond The Yellow Haze is the debut release by Nigerian sound and installation artist Emeka Ogboh on Ostgut Tons sub-label A-TON. In the album, Ogboh superimposes subtle elements from electronic ambient and dance music with field recordings from the city of Lagos - a result of his increasing involvement with electronic music since he moved to Berlin six years ago. A change between musical accentuation and atmospheric vortex, a synthetic kaleidoscope of basses and polyrhythms: In Beyond The Yellow Haze, Ogboh creates an atonal orchestra made of horns, engine noises, sound systems, sales talks on the sidewalks and various sound artifacts from the Danfo bus stations in Lagos. The unpredictable result is on the one hand unlocalable, on the other hand location-bound. It can be described as the rhythmic processing of a distant memory of the Nigerian metropolis - a principle that he also applies in relation to his sound installation Ayilara for the Berghain dance floor as part of the STUDIO BERLIN exhibition. The music from Beyond The Yellow Haze was originally part of his solo exhibition No Condition Is Permanent, which was shown in 2018 at the Imane Farès gallery, which Ogboh brought out himself as a stamped and signed artist's edition. Beyond The Yellow Haze will be released on A-TON as a 2x12 '' LP on black vinyl and digitally.
