Friends Of Friends is back. After a year-long hiatus, we return with one of the underground's most renowned players, and a key figure within the Detroit house movement. Omar-S.
An artist who has seemingly been at the top of his game since his first release in 2004, Omar-S has gone on to release 8 studio albums, and dozens of highly revered EPs - almost all on his own imprint label FXHE Records. Nearly 2 decades on since his formative years in Detroit, Omar-S has earned himself legend status alongside fellow Detroit names Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Inner-City, Marcellus Pittman, and Rick Wilhite, and has performed on the world's biggest stages - Primavera Sound, Movement Detroit, Printworks, Lost Village, OFFSonar, Coachella, Panorama Bar, and many more. Fresh from releasing his critically acclaimed album ‘Can’t Change’ in early 2022 - packed to the brim with his signature sound of crunchy analog drums, soulful jazz-tipped samples, and rich vocal cuts - he returns to Naarm after 3 years away, soundtracking an open-air day party to kick off the summer season.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land we work upon, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, both past and present.
