Om records brought the heat this year to their annual Winter Music Conference event, bringing together talent from their label and beyond, from their home in the bay and all over the world. Klutch was a great venue to host this years event, as the club had it’s two rooms and full outdoor stage packed all night long.
This was the year that indie dance/nu disco finally came front stage at conference, and the OM event was its coming out party. They brought in young talent like The Rapture, Aeroplane, Crazy P, and Classixx who all threw down the breezy, balaeric disco sounds. Om did a great job of bringing it lots of variety to the event- I heard funk and soul from Rich Medina and J. Boogie, broken beat from Jazzanova, and even some late night ambient dubstep as I was stumbling out at 5am. Still, my favorite part of the night was hearing sets from Fred Everything and Mark Farina, who have been developing and holding down the San Francisco OM house sound for years. Look for yourself in their facebook photo gallery here, and for a recap of the night, Fred Everything has posted his set to his soundcloud page- stream it below.
