Door To The Cosmos

On the Corner goes beyond being a record label. It is a story of

innovative artists from hotbeds of ancient-future* music across the

globe. This 'Door to the Cosmos' compilation is the 10th full release

(and an eclectic array of 20 EPs). OtCs rawkus sonic explorations are

brought to the fore via 24 tracks making a heady blend of label

mainstays and fresh family recruits. The label is an inimitable mixture of

Miles Davis' 'call it what you want' attitude, the afro centric futurism of

Sun Ra and the evolving electronic frontier where black music kicks it to

the dance floor.

'Door to the Cosmos' expresses On the Corner's adventure; future

sounds referencing the source, be it Detroit, UK bass culture, New

Orleans or the Niger delta. The title riffs off of the otherworldly, afro

futurist jazzer Sun Ra's infamous chant 'dare to knock at the door to the

cosmos'. Sun Ra's sound and narrative bending inspires us to kick at

the rules and push at the infinite, the ecstatic and the unknown through

music by knock, knock, knocking at the door to the cosmos. The

compilation is the first outing for a new raft of artists who are celebrated

by the label and welcomed to a creative space brimming with the tales

of unsung pioneers of the past and champion sonic explorers of the

future.
