Josh Wink is marking three decades since the foundation of his Ovum Recordings imprint with a new single, The Deepness, taken from a forthcoming two-track EP of the same name.
As a taste of the release, we got the first single as a preview.
As Wink himself put it, “I always want to grow, push myself and move into new areas of musical expression and creativity.
“With The Deepness, I believe if you know my music, you can tell it’s a Wink production on the track. However, it shows a more organic, deep, and sensual side to my usual production output. I decided to step out of my comfort zone with these tracks and use an outside mix engineer – through the heavy suggestion of Matty B at Ovum – and sent the stems to Hannes Bieger in Berlin to mix. We worked for several weeks – through emails – on getting the mixes right, and then BAM! The Deepness was birthed.
“I am thrilled to have created something special like this, and having the whole process open me up to tackle hurdles I was not accustomed to.”
Over its 30 year duration, Ovum has issued more than 400 releases from over 130 associated artists, and is as independently minded as it was when Wink founded it in Philadelphia back in 1994.
