" Globetrotting producer Onra has staked his claim as one of the most exciting beat-makers of the past few years, thanks to releases like his Chinoseries collections (made from scratch with samples found while traveling Asia) and the Pitchfork-acclaimed Long Distance LP. All the while, his electrifying live MPC performances around the world -- everywhere from the Red Bull Music Academy in Bucharest and Giles Peterson's Worldwide Festival, to LA's down-and-dirty bass sanctuary the Low End Theory -- add new dimensions to the cosmic grooves Onra puts on tape. With his first release for Fool's Gold, the Deep In The Night EP, Onra continues to chart new musical territory. The EP's five tracks meld the snap of vintage jheri curl R&B with squiggling disco synths and deeply funky, late-night vibes. From the new jack swinging "After Hours" (ft. T3 of Slum Village) to the moody, screwed loops of closer "Hold Tight", Deep In The Night's cut-and-paste danceability proves a must-listen for any occasion. After all, it's always after hours somewhere... " - Fool's Gold Records

Parisian funk producer, Onra has a Change Of Heart on this Japanese exclusive cut.
"We mean this without any negative connotations at all: Onra is apparently big in Japan. The French electro-funk producer at least seems to frequent the country more than most of his peers do, and even crafted a two-track 7" of edits (pictured above) exclusively for his next Japanese tour. "Change of Heart" is one of those cuts, and finds the tunesmith working a little more on the dark side of his '80s-inspired production style. Grab that tune here, and make sure to check out the list of Onra's forthcoming performances after the jump. " - VIA XLR8R
