The Blassics’ sound is akin to rough original funk seven inches with elements from afrobeat thrown in for good measure.
Broaks
Dusty funk, jazz, turntablism and “old-school” sampling techniques.
Pascal & Baya Rays
Laid-back funk obscurities straight from the reels of Odd Funk studio. Late night sessions and creative daydreaming.
Odd Jazz series
Events from explorative sessions in energy music that emerge especially from the traditions of spiritual jazz and free jazz/improvisation.

Or so they say. This weekend, Dazed flew out to Lagos, Nigeria for the third annual MTV Africa Music.
Awards and spent a few days and some late nights meeting rap, R&B and kuduro superstars from across Africa: names like Banky W, Fally Ipupa, Daddy Owen, Cabo Snoop and Radio & Weasel, from Angola to Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and beyond, all huge stars in their own countries, selling truckloads of records despite rampant piracy and a rickety music industry. These guys are kind of the Jay Zs and Snoops of Africa, basically.

A sneak peak to our researsal place and to the upcoming record "Becoming waves"
Just the other day we were sitting at the studio, listening to some of our demos and musical experiments and some vinyls we feel good with. When listening to this piece, we felt that there was some living-in-the-moment going on in there that we'd like to share. To us it is extremely important that such moments can emerge and can be felt. It's music, ya'll.
To see means to know? live at Suisto: This way begun the first public performance of the Odd Jazz collective. We wish a creative, warm and powerful new year 2017 for everyone.
Life is Great, Yeah! The 1st video release from the upcoming Blassics album to be released on March 2017. This is a non-mastered version of the tune. Peace, always!
Ruff Strut: Shitty is pretty like they say. A side from the new Blassics 7", pressing of 300 copies.
To see means to know?: A wonderfully psychedelic video on "To see means to know?" made by our main man Joona Venäläinen. Great for repeated watching!
