OIEE, the innovative Budapest-based producer, returns with CALLOUS, an electrifying new single that redefines the nature of collaboration. Partnering with Nomé, the track is a testament to the power of creative connection, showcasing how music transcends borders, genres, and expectations.
The story behind CALLOUS began at the Most Wanted: Music Conference in Berlin, where OIEE and Nomé first crossed paths. What started as a casual encounter soon flourished into a dynamic partnership, with both artists finding inspiration in their shared commitment to pushing artistic limits. A year later, fate reunited them at the same conference, where they performed on the same stage, solidifying their musical chemistry.
The spark for CALLOUS ignited during a moment of creative downtime. While waiting for stems from another project, OIEE stumbled upon an acapella recording of Nomé’s previous work – an intimate, captivating vocal performance. “I was particularly struck by Nomé’s performance,” OIEE explains. “It was a voice that demanded to be reimagined.” Taking the track with him on a flight to New York, OIEE reshaped the acapella into something transformative: a bold, experimental fusion that transcends the boundaries of electronic music.
CALLOUS is more than just a remix or a standard collaboration – it’s a deep, immersive exploration of sound and texture. OIEE’s signature production style, which embraces everything from dark electronica to hip-hop and R&B, gives the track a unique pulse that refuses to be confined to one genre. It’s an invitation to listeners who crave musical adventure, underlining OIEE’s reputation as a forward-thinking producer.
The release of CALLOUS sets the stage for OIEE’s upcoming album, further cementing his role as a trailblazer in Hungary’s electronic music scene. Fans can experience the next phase of his sonic journey live at Dürer Kert in Budapest on January 31st, where OIEE will headline an AV festival, showcasing highlights from the new album.
With CALLOUS, OIEE and Nomé prove that great music is born from curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected. This track is not just a moment in their partnership but a milestone in OIEE’s evolving artistry – one that promises to captivate listeners worldwide.
