Soul Oddity

A proponent of the new skool electro sound — a fusion of Detroit electro with Miami bass funk — the south Florida-based Soul Oddity was the partnership of producers Josh Kay and Romulo Del Castillo. Supposedly formed as the result of a chance encounter with a UFO, Soul Oddity’s fascination with the otherworldly continued on their 1996 debut album, Tone Capsule, which collected their three previous EPs released earlier that same year. One year later, the duo followed up with Randa Roomet, recorded as the side project Phoenecia. [See Also: Phoenecia] ~ Jason Ankeny
