Set up under the Cooking Vinyl umbrella at the suggestion of label head Rob Collins, Orbscure will also be an outlet for new music from artists from around the world. The name is a play on the Obscure label Eno set up on Editions EG in the 1970s. Orbs Cure. Clever parrot-Orbscure! Orbscure! Orbs Cure for all ills. Orbs Cure made 2 chill, states Alex. Having helmed the Orb collective for over 30 years, releasing music on other peoples labels in partnership with various label managers/ARs, Alex now finds himself in the driving seat, coordinating an even wider group of talent. Picking up from his past experience as an AR for the legendary EG Records, there is already a raft of new releases in the pipeline withthree albums set for release this year. The label will feature artists from Uganda, Kenya, Argentina, Japan and America with further collaborative projects to follow.
