Mixed by Demi - Sounds like Alola vol. 2.
Alola Records celebrates 17 years of deepness by making their entire re-mastered catalogue available for the first time at all digital stores through 2011.
The first two instalments of Alola’s past, present and future have been carefully handpicked and mixed to perfection by Omid 16B and Demi. They include tracks by artists such a Trevor Loveys, House of 909, Vince Watson, Mr. C, NAV, Nacho Marco, Idjut Boys, Pete Moss, Omid 16B and many more…
HERNAN CATTANEO
"Alola was one of the finest house music labels coming from the United Kingdom in the past decade. High quality underground music on every release; Vince Watson -Mystical Rhythm is one of my favourites from many, many, great records."
DANNY HOWELLS
"Alola was one of THE labels for me… such a consistently high quality of music and a great roster of artists. I still have them all on vinyl - nice to see you back again!!"
STEVE PARRY
“Alola was sometimes deep, sometimes melodic, but always cool. It was never one specific genre, crossing the musical boundaries, yet retaining its core underground sound was always its speciality.”
LEE BURRIDGE
“The list of dj's carrying Alola vinyl around the world encompassed everyone and anyone who ever professed to having a decent taste in music. Long live Alola!”
MR C
"Alola was a seminal deep house label that broke down the divisions between house & techno with a depth that was & still is extremely hard to parallel.”
SCOTT RICHMOND, SATELLITE RECORDS NYC
"16B Productions - Secrets: one of the best deep house tracks of the 90s.
When Omid created this, Trail of Dreams, and Voices all in ‘95 & ‘96 he put the house music world on notice.”

About Alola:
“When I started ALOLA back in 1993 with £500 I’d borrowed from my dad, it was an outlet to release my own music and slowly, music by like-minded
artists whom I admired… After 17 years it’s time for the past, present and future to fall in sync.” Omid 16B Nourizadeh
The idea is that the ALOLA back catalogue will be slowly introduced to the
digital world through 2011, along with new material. It would be pointless
to just throw it all out at once; this is music to be savoured; in a
disposable world this is music to be treasured for a long, long time.
Omid’s desire to present so much music in a coherent way has led to the
decision to release a series of mix compilations, combining forgotten back
catalogue classics with unreleased material by ALOLA artists to add
something fresh to the whole concept.
“I’ve approached some of my favourite DJs who have had some affiliation
with the label and some who were part of the label to mix a variety of comps
with me through 2011. Who better could I want to do the first one with than
Demi? He did his mix unintentionally when I gave him all the old ALOLA vinyl
a while back, which made me realise again how much music had gone through my
ALOLA heart! He’s put a mix together what showcases some of the moments
in the label's history when things couldn’t go unnoticed, even if you
tried; the pure elements of house music through to jazz and electronic
bliss.” Omid 16B
“As the late, great Jimi Hendrix once said, ‘our music is like a jar of
candy, everything's all mixed up!’ And to substantiate that wonderful
anecdote with one of my own that I adhere to, ‘expect to be given what you
want, not necessarily what you expect’, founded on two words that
encapsulate this school of thought: Relevance and Significance. The past is
the future of the present and the relevance and significance of the
re-launch of ALOLA quite simply ticks all the boxes that need be. This is my
debut solo mix for an official release and I would happily leave it to be my
last, because if ever I wanted to encompass all that I represent as a DJ,
then what I present to you here is my blueprint. From the bottom of my
heart, I thank Omid, whose labour of love is a continued source of
inspiration to myself and to many who choose to follow their dreams. And a
special mention to all the artists whose music was selected to represent and
reflect my perspective on a label that continues to represent music in its
highest and purest form. This really was a labour of love and a joy to put
together. Long live ALOLA!” Demi
Omid admits that being totally blown away by Demi’s mix meant he had
reservations about doing one himself, so decided to do one that showcases
mostly his own material that’s set for release in the future on ALOLA,
allowing the past, present and future to fall in sync.
“I did use a few tracks by other artists like Anthony Teasdale, Eli Nissan
and Pete Moss, which accidentally added another idea to the concept: you can
do whatever the f**k you want, as long as it sounds like ALOLA!” Omid 16B
