Instrumental sounds with tropical and not-so-tropical house, break, techno, nudisco and trance elements and modern soul-like vocals, giving danceable melodies and catchy hooks a very individual and uncompromising sounding. OIEE is the colorful electronic solo project of Bence Kocsis launched in 2019. Bence is a well-known name in the Hungarian underground music scene as a producer-songwriter, remixer, event organizer, multimedia artist, and the host of live improvisational electronic music series WOPO-WOPO.
The second album is coming out in April, featuring 5-time Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Dub (The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy).
