OMRI. Finds Perfect Tension on New 'Nothing Wrong' EP

OMRI. Finds Perfect Tension on New ‘Nothing Wrong’ EP

Every so often, an artist stops chasing the sound and becomes it. With Nothing Wrong, OMRI. owns his lane.

The new three-track EP, released via Crosstown Rebels, is lean, atmospheric, and emotionally articulate without ever being overwrought. It’s a confident debut on Damian Lazarus’ label, the kind that doesn’t scream for attention but earns it, track by track.

The “Love Mix” of the title track is where OMRI.’s vision locks in. It glides rather than stomps — gently pulsing rhythms and hazy vocals stretch out like early morning shadows in a club that forgot to close. It feels designed for those post-peak moments when a dance floor becomes less about frenzy and more about connection. He’s not just making music for DJs. He’s building sonic environments for shared introspection.

The “Club Mix” trims the sentiment and sharpens the bones. It’s functional, yes — but not in the cold, utilitarian sense. It moves with soul, and that’s harder to pull off than it sounds. AYYBO’s remix brings grit and futurism, injecting a West Coast edge without losing the source material’s subtle melancholy. Even in its most reinterpreted form, Nothing Wrong holds tight to OMRI.’s emotional code.

What gives this release real gravity is its context. OMRI. has been quietly threading his identity through respected underground labels like Hot Creations and REALM, collaborating with globally-minded tastemakers like Moscoman and Adam Ten. Founding Collecting Dots signaled not just production chops, but curation — a sense for what’s next without saying it out loud.

There’s no gimmickry here. No desperate need to be flashy or “disruptive.” Just clear intention, masterful restraint, and a sound that’s as heady as it is physical. It’s minimal music, a tightrope that many producers walk, but few balance with this level of poise.
