Alola was conceived by Omid 16B twenty years ago in 1993 as a platform to express one’s self musically with out commercial compromise. Alola now takes centre stage once more as the past, present, and future are interwoven with a series of events worldwide and quality releases to come from new and distinguished family members including Omid, Mr. C, Amine Edge, Danny Howells, Demi, NAV, and Doran. This includes… Show more the “Sounds like Alola” series which kicked off to a phenomenal start with Omid's Volume 1 and long-term friend and SOS teammate Demi mixing Volume 2. For Volume 3 of “Sounds Like Alola”, Omid tapped long-term friend and mentor Mr. C with Omid once again looking after Volume 4. The “Sounds Like Alola” series will be continued later in 2013 with involvement from the additional family members mentioned above. On the events front, Alola will be hosting 6-7 events in London alone with additional events to be confirmed internationally including an Off Sonar showcase. These showcases will feature the Alola family and long-time friends of Omid including Danny Howells, DJ Vibe, Rob Melo, Vince Watson, Matthew Bushwacka, and others to be announced shortly.  Alola has had a strong 2012 on a number of fronts and this momentum has carried into 2013: -   Firstly there has been the phenomenal success and accolades of Amine Edge’s “Yeah”. This includes the track arriving at Number 1 on the Beatport Indie/Dance chart and being licensed to multiple compilations.  2012 also saw the release of Omid 16B’s double header remix of Grammy Award winning Lana Del Rey’s tracks “Video Games” and “Blue Jeans”. Omid was approached by Universal as one of the first alongside legends such as Larry Heard and Moodymann to remix these tracks.  More generally, all recent Alola releases have been featured by Beatport in their relevant genres. There has also been the introduction of an artist agency Sexonwax Bookings using the moniker of Alola’s sister label Sexonwax Recordings.  These recent achievements have been brought about by the formation of the expanded team, which took shape in 2012. Omid and the team really believe that these were not chance meetings and that the universe brought a group of like-minded individuals with similar goals, spiritually and professionally.
