Paris-based producer Onra first graced us with 2007′s Chinoiseries, his compilation of beats sampled from old Vietnamese and Chinese records he discovered on his tour of the motherland. In his forthcoming record Long Distance, Onra looks back to eighties funk and R&B (à la Stones Throw’s g-funk revivalist Dâm-Funk) for a collection of synth-heavy beats and guest appearances by Olivier Daysoul and T3 (of Slum Village).

Long Distance drops in May 2010 via All City Records.
