Cosmo Vitelli´s Paris-based label I´m A Cliché is always reliable when it comes to releasing great stuff. Think Runaway, think Bot´Ox, think Cosmo´s own material and now think Parisian legend Uncle O. This will be the first LP for the label and I think I´ll let the guys themselves do the talking on this one:

"Let's speak like what we definitely are: fans. Uncle O is someone we have an unlimited respect for, here at I'm a Cliché. A restless record digger with an insane record collection, a resident Dj at the mythical Bains-Douches club in Paris at its golden era (82-85), a graphic designer for James White, OMD, The Cure, A Certain Ratio as they were touring in France, and later part of the emerging French hip hop scene (he even appeared on vocals on the seminal French hit « H.I.P – H.O.P », french people will know what it's about!).

He produced occasionnal instrumentals for French hip-hop bands like Assassin, released a few cult records as JACKOS and organised some of the best parties we've been to, here in Paris, the TOXIC nights. To finish with boring lists, we should mention some of the many compilations of soul breaks, Miami bass anthems or dancehall classics he did, like the "Shaolin Soul" serie, "Champion Sound", or "The Joint". We were lucky enough to have lots of his unreleased tracks since ages and we thought that time had come to go for this release, the 14th of I'm a Cliché and its first LP. Everything we like at the moment is inside : Italo gems, weird industrial funk, deviant hip-hop, slow folk-disco…Yeah, it's all in there!"

Enough said, download one of the tracks and then go and buy the full release. Also check our Dirty brothers in Paris and their blog for an exclusive killer mix by Uncle O. Other Dirty/I´m A Cliché related stuff to look out for in the future are the Discodeine and Richard Sen (Padded Cell) remixes of the Bot´Ox EP Babylon By Car that´s out soon.
