COLE ODIN (OWNERSHIP): Recent Episodes
COLE ODIN (OWNERSHIP)
COLE ODIN (who occasionally used the moniker Ownership) was raised to the pulse of the twin hearts of the San Francisco Bay Area… a gritty underground DJ scene, and the blinding light of a rock and roll stage. A gigging and writing multi-instrumentalist of over 25 years, his music is inspired by arm hairs on end, uncontrollable smiles, and the concept of a song you can't take off repeat.
Since compatible comparison is justifiably needed by some to draw them into something new, the sounds of COLE ODIN's music can be traced from a variety of influences into a new hybrid of moving music. Some (sonic) examples might be… THE VERVE, COBBLESTONE JAZZ, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, KAUF, REMI WOLF, AMEN DUNES, ANDREW WEATHERALL, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, BILL WITHERS, ROISIN MURPHY, FLAMING LIPS, EDDIE C, TAME IMPALA, RUB 'N TUG, M83, FLYING MOJOTO BROTHERS, SPIRITUALIZED, TOOL, PSYCHEMAGIK, SINEAD O'CONNOR, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, SPOON, PRINCE, JANE'S ADDICTION, NITZER EBB, TODD TERJE, LORDE, DJ HARVEY, FATHER JOHN MISTY & MANY, MANY MORE... As a DJ of over 20 years, his versatile style of moving through genre, tempo and mood is also reflected by looking at the selectors that influenced his desire to create the set as one long song- Thomas Bullock aka Tom From England (and all of SF's Wicked Crew), Solar, Eddie C, DJ Three, Balearic Mike, DJ Spun, Young Marco, Charlotte the Baroness, DJ Harvey, Karizma, the DJs of LDP, and the too-long-to-list roster of local badassery the Bay Area is known for around the world.
Some recent notable accomplishments would be releases on such great labels as Leng, Eclectics, Golf Channel, and Das Sind Wir Recordings. Cole is proud to have had his music included in sets by such legends as DJ Harvey, Eddie C, DJ Garth, Doc Martin, Psychemagik, Thugfucker and more, with his tracks having made Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space's best of 2019 show, and in end-of-year "best of" lists by Balearic Mike, Bill Brewster, and Sean Johnston.

A dub-influenced bass line ebbs with a beat that doesn't ever break, while falsetto vocals swirl around a calling for hope, that recognizes change. The song reminds me of Spiritualized, if they did a balearic, deep house track.

SF promoter, DJ and producer, CJ Larson teams up with label head Trev Campbell to deliver a chugging mid-tempo grooving take on Cole Odin's track. With hints of acid, psyche rock and deep house riding atop a steady house beat, it pumps and breathes through the vocal refrain.

It is my honor to share this amazing remix of "Dawn's Approaching" by super friends and family, Psychemagik. Their take slings the psyche-rawk-balearica into majestic, blippity-bloopity, tech-house territory. Bravo dudes!

If Spiritualized did a balearic sunrise party... this might be right at home. A hypnotic (mostly) instrumental... removing the comments section.

Out now on SF label, Das Sind Wir! I'm proud to have put my spin on this fantastic new tune from my good friend, Derrick Boyd (aka TONE OF ARC). In this remix (aside from the switching up of the arrangement), I've played some live drums and dirty synths to sink this deep-house, psyche-rawk beast straight to the Bottom of the Sea. 'Twas an honor to be a part of it!
Mucho thanks to Tom Coveney (aka Thomaas Banks) of Psychemagik for the extra mix assistance!
Changelings is a psyche-rock-infused, mid-tempo, dub-tech-house song that teeters on a lurching beat, while a moody, brooding bass line rumbles atop it.
