There are several projects around called Odessa. Since being mixed up with those others (even another Techno project from Belgium is among) is not a compliment at all, here at first a description: Odessa on Discogs.

Frédérique Franke may easily be recognized. Her voice has branded the Belgian duo Ming (stopped in 2006). However, she had not been just the singer in that known Electronica duo, but has got certain influences on all productions since the beginning, too.

In 2004 the duo Odessa (founded by Philip May and Frederique Franke) started doing some dj sets that firstimely presented remakes with Frédérique’s voice over tracks of Steve Bug, Reinhard Voigt, Superpitcher, and Paul Kalkbrenner. Later, in 2005, they produced their first own tracks as Odessa that were released in 2006 on a first 12” on Doxa.

In 2007 Odessa has slipped on their righteous fairway. The 12” EP is called what it stated: Donna. In 2008 a follower, bit more mellow, came out called Lake.
