We just released a special unplugged video of our song “61 cravings“, performed live at Archiduc in Brussels on the February 16th 2013. Special guest on the video is Luc van Lieshout (Tuxedomoon) on trumpet.
Enjoy and celebrate with us the INFECTION’s anniversary on the 9th of May!

On these special days you’ll also find on sale a limited edition of our CD “Infection” that will only be available on our online store from the 9th of May untill the following weekend: our CD with 13 tracks of peaceful vibes, AND a digital EP containing our latest Getaway mix, plus 2 remixes made by other european artists struck by our virus, Simi Nah and Suite 406.

Go to our store page!

Suite 406 is a project of Rik Rosseels, producer & CEO @ Bubblebath Productions (Antwerp, Belgium).
Suite 406 brings you Nu Jazz, Soul, Pop and Lounge together in an original, uniquely Belgian mix, and sends you on a musical journey filled with jazzy moods and soundscapes.
They have been compared to Kruder & Dorfmeister, St.-Germain, Dzihan & Kamien, Incognito and even Moloko and Jamiroquai.

After finishing their first album “Deep & Closer”, Suite 406 was asked to make remixes for 3kstatic’s “Sugar Evolver” and just released Claudja Barry’s “Good Time Girl” (Claudja was a member of Boney M, and had several hits as a solo artist).
So, if you’re looking for something “Deep and Closer”, open your ears, mind and the door of Suite 406.
Rik made this Miss O remix together with his studio partner Steven Geerts.

Miss O: “Rik, why did you choose the song Getaway?”

Rik: “When we were listening to the album and heard Getaway, we knew immediately that this was the song we wanted to remix. It was the rhythm of the Rhodes piano that triggered something deep inside. We felt that a half time beat in combination with a double time jazz groove would work very well with the original vocals.”

Thank you guys for your groovy remix!

Next Saturday, 16 february, at 5PM, Miss O will play in Archiduc (Brussels).
This is going to be the kick off gig for our European INFECTION tour.

We have chosen this legendary place because of the special vibe, and of course the nice grand piano.
We will record unplugged versions of some of our songs, together with Luc van Lieshout on trumpet (con sordino!).

The tour will be continuing in Italy with the following concerts:

• Memphis pub – Milan h. 22 > our Italian live showcase – free entrance
• Maite Arci club, Bergamo h 21 > our first Italian gig – free entrance with ARCI card

We’ll wait for you. Don’t miss the shows.

We’re happy to launch a remix for our single “Talk to me“.
We went as far as Azerbaijan to ask the electronic music producer Gurban Abbasli to remix this track for us.
Listen to an extract of the song here: http://soundcloud.com/missoworld/talk-to-me-gurban-abassli-extract.

You can download this remix FREE via our Facebook page.
Just click on our “Enter our world!” tab and click on our remix visual! (For fans only)

Gurban Abbasli is an electronic music producer from Azerbaijan. He was born in the town of Shaki, whose amazing mountains, nature landscapes, and ancient history influenced him towards producing chillout music. He started to produce electronic music in the chillout genre in 2008, using ancient sounds mixed with the urban beats and deep spheres that he loves to use in his music. In his tracks, he uses Azerbaijani Mugham and its elements with Blaban leaks, which are the main ethnic and folk music of Azerbaijan. After the “Signals To Humanity” chill out album, which was released in 2011 by “Green Sky records”, Gurban released the progressive house “Talk To Me” EP (Old Sql recordings) in which he used also balaban woodwind instrument mixed with progressive soul. The new chillout Ep “Passion Moments” from “Abora Recordings” is released in 2013.

Here’s the story:

Jan:
“One night I entered “Talk To Me” in the search bar of Google and I stumbled on an electronic music producer from Azerbaijan, who just released a track with the same name. We liked his production quality, and so we got in touch. This has finally resulted in a remix of “Talk To Me” from Miss O. It’s exciting to have a progressive house version of one of our songs!”

Gurban:
“I really love the vocals and the deep atmospheric style, so I’ve watched the official video a few times.
Making this remix was nice because I like the original track so much. I discussed some parts of the remix with Jan, but Odette and Jan stimulated me to keep my own sound and signature. The result is a progressive house remix with big room elements, which in my opinion adds interesting colours”

To kick off, we start with a remix made by french electro gothic queen Simi Nah.

About Simi Nah
Simi Nah grew up in France during the 80’s.
She is described as the “French Electro Gothic Queen” in the Belgium media!
In 1997, she released her first single with co-producer & co-songwriter Kenny, under the name “Coma”.
In 2002 Simi participates in the album of Svenson & Gielen “The beauty of silence”, where she interprets and co-writes 2 songs, “Evol” & “The Unknown Pleasure” with success in Japan.
In 2003 she starts her solo career simply named “Simi Nah”. Co-producer & co-songwriter Kenny follows her all the way, and that results in the “French Ep” which gains good reactions from France, but also from England where the track “Sans se voiler la face” has been played for 3 months on BBC Radio 1 by Dj Fergie !
Her first album “Cherchez la femme” followed by in 2004.
In 2012, Simi Nah released a new album: ’5′.
Simi Nah was support act of OMD during their last concert in Belgium.

How did you get connected?
Dr. J.: we were both invited in the showroom of a Porsche garage. I actually don’t care about cars, neither does Simi. A mutual friend put us in contact (thanks Nadine and Lieven, without you, this remix would never exist!). At that time, Simi was working on her album, and I was working on our album, so we felt connected like two pregnant women talking together. We make completely different music, but we respect our styles. After the birth of our babies (Simi Nah – 5, Miss O – Infection) I made a remix for Simi, and now I’m happy that Simi (and her partner in crime Kenny) made a remix for Miss O!

Why did you select the song “Getaway”, Simi?
Simi Nah: Because of my huge hunger for freedom and desire to get away at that particular moment made me choose this song out of the others! The title directly got my attention, and the melodic intro is really catchy.

Stay tuned!

We got selected for the finale and played live with the movie at the 1st edition of the contest show (Castellarano, Italy, Nov 10th 2012).

Watch the short movie here:

from SHIVER – jul 12

On May 9 2012 the first album by Miss O has been released, published by the newborn Belgian indie label Addictive Noise Records and distributed worldwide digitally by Total Wipes Music Group. “Infection” is a collection of magical and pure sentimental songs that blend together to create a unique sound and style that brings about the pursuit of personal emotional balance.

Buy it on our ‘Store‘ page or on I-Tunes!

Lyrics HERE!

Here we go with the songs of “Infection”:

1) In motion

“This song is Miss O’s manifesto, it is about believing in something more than what we see, about sharing a feeling of unity and infect the world with it. We recorded the core of this song many years ago but then it took a while to make it sound the way it is now. We enjoyed the latest mix of it very much, in the end, and had a lot of fun playing those little bells sounds…”

2) Talk to me

“The second track of the album. One of the first songs we wrote and one of the “hardest” as far as some sounds go. It’s about communication’s problems and going beyond prejudices. Watch the brand new video of this song!”

3) The girl

“Odette always found this song one of the most difficult ones to sing, she needs to force herself to feel a strong emotion in order to sing it well, so sometimes she had tears in her eyes when she finished the recordings. It’s one of our fans favourites so we shot the video of this song on a sunny winter day.”

4) Sensitivity

“Lyrics were inspired by an Egyptian writer’s novel about one of the most famous Arabic singer of all times. This song it’s a love story but also a hymn to physical senses. Jan was happy to mix it since he could use the theremin sound which he loves so much.”

5) Butterfly

“Jan’s favourite! It’s about extra terrestrial worlds and a feeling of happiness that’s beyond an ordinary state! Let it lullaby you…”

http://soundcloud.com/missoworld/butterfly

6) 61 cravings

“The first piano notes introduce you immediately to a very delicate and intimate world of ambivalent feelings and light sadness. The chorus, though, brings more happiness and hope. We love it, although we’re aware it may be considered one of Miss O “most pop” songs.”

http://soundcloud.com/missoworld/61-cravings

7) My wildest time

“Miss O first single! An unusual track structure for an intense declaration of freedom. We found some beautiful time lapse footage from Neil Bromhall on youtube, and he allowed us to use this “birth of beans” footage for our first video!”

  The majority of the universe is outside ourselves and outside the Earth. But despite what you may believe, the Moon and the Sun have a big influence on humans.

The role of the planets is less clear for most people, because we are not aware of where they are in most cases, but their relative position is very important: they symbolize a unique quality of energy which is the sum of space’s and time’s coordinates. Of course the real world seems chaotic, and although planets move in perfect orbits, there are dark matter, background radiation, black holes. And because reality is too complex for us to have a clear view of it, we use words like chaos and noise.

What’s more, the universe is perceived in a different way by every single creature. People get attracted and therefore feel connected to others because of the matching frequencies of their minds vibrations.

Not only thoughts but also dreams can have strong vibrations, and when they are pure, they can become authentic visions. Sometimes some visions can become reality.

Dr. J. one day started to hear a voice in his head, without knowing if he was awake or asleep. This voice was telling him things that made no sense at all at first, but they had the power to resonate within him.

Here are some of the phrases:

You know in the darkest hour how to listen to the grass growing up.

You say when the coastline lights are waving that they shine like precious threads of pearls.

As I’m closing up to you feelings, there’s a flood of stars between us.

I’m lost now, in the smoke of thoughts your mind is forming.

Time takes a form and comes to me, to make me free.

A beam of white light on me, took me away from here.

After some searching, Dr. J. found out that the first two phrases were from Italian singer Odette Di Maio. But the other phrases did not exist yet, he realized they were …from the future. This way, he found out that Odette was able to intrude his mind, and past and future were living simultaneously in the flow of time.

But back then, he had no idea how to meet Odette!

Episode 2

We are all familiar with a radio: basically an antenna that picks up etherwaves, a tuning circuit that filters certain elements from the noise, and a converter that transforms the tuned signals into speech and music.

When we listen to the radio we are connected with the broadcast station.

With cosmic waves, the same principle can be used. But here is the point: we’ve lost connection!

And building a working ‘radio’ requires a lot of research and much effort.NASA was one of the organisations that built the most advanced systems.

The limitation of the NASA approach is that everything is based on the rational side of science: any results that can not be repeated under similar circumstances are rejected. But cosmic waves they change all the time!

After many experiments and several failures, Dr. J. succeeded in finding ways to convey positive energy to animals and plants. In order to proceed with the next step, humans, Dr. J. needed a medium.

So fate wanted that, through intermediate contacts in Singapore, Odette would end up in Belgium, in a studio where, ‘coincidently’, Dr. J. was sitting in a corner, without saying much. They were briefly introduced to each other but did not exchange a word. A few moments later, Odette got near the microphone, without making any sound. She put her head up, and stared with her eyes through the window, distracted by a plane in the sky. Finally she opened her mouth, and the sound of her breath in the mike entered the electronic circuits. At the same moment, Dr. J. could see through the mixing console and through the cables a warm, relaxing red glow. Even before she whispered the first notes, he felt that she had the power to serve as a medium.

This all happened during a specific planetary transit, when Odette Di Maio felt the need for a more peaceful life, and wished to bring more harmony in other people lives.

Since then, Odette and Jan have worked together, on this common karmic task.

Episode 3

The energy-conveying machine of Dr. J. is somehow similar to a NASA design of 1976, but on a much smaller scale. However, using Odette’s planetarian calculations, Dr. J. could use the particular position of Venus, the Sun and the Moon as an extention of his machine! This way, the machine reached a sensitivity that is 1856,9 billion times higher compared to the NASA machine of 1976: a real quantum leap, even taking into account the technological progress since then.

If we divide this number (1856,9 billion) by 202 (the first song of Miss O – ‘My wildest time’ – has a duration of 3:22 minutes, which equals to 202 seconds), we get the number 9192631770. Atomic clocks on Earth are based on this frequency (9192631770 Hz), by using Cesium 133.

The launch date of Miss O was 2011 Sept 8. If you go 133 days back from this date, you get at 2011 April 27. Enter ‘NASA April 27 2011’ in e.g. Google, and find out what happened that day!

To avoid any side effects, Dr. J. first verified the machine on bugs. (Dr. J. believes that tests on rabbits, mice are immoral). The bug changed into a green smaller bug, and then disappeared. This way he could find out a way to reverse the speed of life!

By adding some balanced windings using 99,9% pure copper wire, he could interrupt the reverse speed of life, and made one single moment stable within some limits. The result is an instant when feelings of eternity, peace and unity merge in just a single moment!

From the bug to Odette there was another difficult step. Again, inspired by a NASA test from the seventies, he used a vintage radiotube.

By adding blood from Odette into the radiotube (where the cosmic waves were channelled and held in resonance), finally a special plasma was formed.

Episode 4

Dr. J. prepared the studio for the 8th of September 2011. The Sun conjuncts Venus, and the Moon is in Aquarius: the special moment!

Immediately after capturing the cosmic energy in the radiotube, Dr. J. added some blood  drops taken from Odette, thus transforming it into a powerful karma-plasma. Using an injection needle, the karma-plasma was extracted from the radiotube, and injected into Odette Di Maio’s body, transforming her forever into Miss O!

All this had to be performed within seconds, because of the short existence of this unique cosmic constellation.

Miss O is now the container of this cosmic karma-plasma, a V.i.r.u.s. (vocal intergalactic reprogramming united society) that is destined to be spread around the world. As the ‘V’ explains, spreading the infection happens through her voice.

When you listen to Miss O, relax, breath deeply and open your mind: you will all get infected! Don’t be afraid, you will not feel any pain! Your mind will open up, and become more sensitive to cosmic waves. Some people may react strongly, like Dr. J. (he had to wear a metal helmet at certain times). In general, the over-sensitivity disappears after a full moon cycle. If this is not the case with you, we ask you to send us a mail with code ‘!EM PLEH’. We will then send you a link to a song that will solve your problem!

What will happen when we are all infected with this virus? This remains a mystery, but one thing is clear: soon, again under the right cosmic constellation, we will all come together in peace, and sing ‘O’, a new mantra for our souls!

Now, just relax, open your mind, listen and get infected by Miss O!
