by John BushIan OBriens tech-house-jazz fusion put him on the map in 1996 as one of the most talented young dance producers, thanks to genre-bending singles for Ferox like Intelligent Desert and Monkey Jazz. After his full-length Desert Scores dropped in February 1997, OBrien began concentrating on more soulful, nu-disco output like a remix of Lisa Stansfields The Line and his single for 4th Wave, Its an Everyday World. His second LP, Gigantic Days, followed in 1999.
