- Mobilee will release the producer's first full-length this November.
Ray Okpara will release Good Times, his debut full-length, this November through Mobilee.
Born in Nigeria and raised in Mannheim, Okpara has been a major player in that city's dance music scene, promoting parties with Johnny D and Nick Curly and developing a sound that blends elements of his African musical heritage with the techno he was surrounded by in Germany. Now based in Berlin, he's produced for labels like Deep Vibes and Area Remote, and Good Times follows up on two 12-inches for Mobilee last year. According to the press release, the album was produced in Mannheim and Berlin last summer, with an emphasis on guest appearances from artists he met at last spring's Winter Music Conference in Miami and people who happened to drop by his apartment for a visit. Guests include Oslo co-founder Nekes, vocalist Katrin Cürük and Miami's Wilo & Gil.
