Rose Tinted Vision Implant sees the Bath-based producer Odeko creating a cutting edge sonic world inspired by "speculative fiction, time/reality shifting stories and dystopian shit." The entire record is structured around, and expands upon his passion for the "future," underpinning the music via an underlining narrative. Rose Tinted Vision Implant starts with "The User" (aka the listener/protagonist depending on your perspective) of the "Optic.Rose" going through the process of getting an implant is made by a mega corporation. Sonically you're there to observe. It opens with a precursory scan ("Anomaly Detection") and moves onto installation ("OpticRose_0_1_Installation") through to a battery change and a recalibration. From this point, the "presence" begins to take over the implant and the tracks verge into a more cerebral range. Odeko notes: "it's a bit of a satire on corporate brands pushing these great products that everyone is obsessed but that are detrimental to both the world, and how we perceive reality. Our relationship with social media and tech could go down a dangerous path if we lose sight of things. I'm going quite far here for the sake of the concept, but things like VR, AR, the want for body tech, mixed with our desire to be connected, emotionally, digitally, physically, wirelessly could lead us to a world where everyone has implants, or some kind of tech built into them." Sonically Rose Tinted Vision Implant is a record that explores a post-IDM, post-grime, post-ambient, post-glitch, post-retro-house, post-instrumental grime take on electronic music. "Boîte Diabolique" features Tom E. Vercetti.

Deeply idiosyncratic, Odeko's sound references a variety of themes without ever feeling bound by any and on "Digital Botanics", he takes this bright, one-of-a-kind sound design to new heights. Subtle trap patterns provide the foil for gloopy, toy-like melodies to glide over the top, spiked by short bursts of growling, industrial noise. On "Construct Conduct", Odeko offers his take on euphoric, '80s-inspired synth music - only prepped for the future - with pulsating, heady grooves and spiraling, acid-y melodies nodding to a growing reputation that he is quietly becoming one of the UK's most exciting young sound designers.

A History With Samus is the debut release by rising producer Odeko. A History With Samus''s influences are rooted in 21st century - and beyond - communication and evolution. Fact Magazine profiled Odeko among 10 grime producers to watch in 2016 writing "What we've heard hints at an expansive approach exploring the hidden connections between Rapid at his most lovelorn and electronic experiments by James Blake or Oneohtrix Point Never. He's got a ton of potential to add nuance and shading to the label's emotional grime deconstructions, and the outside influences carry a welcome influx of new ideas."
