INTRODUCING -Christianoshi


Picture this strange scenario if you will. In a parallel pop universe. Swedish pop princess Robyn seeks a child. But conception wont be performed in the conventional way. Surrounded by disco balls and a soundtrack of throbbing synthpop. Dave Gahan , Theo Hutchcraft , Neil Tennant , Marc Almond and Andy Bell , turkey baster in hand , perform electro pop's immaculate conception. The fruits of that said conception , would probably sound like Christianoshi

You still with me. Good. Then , allow me to introduce you to Christianoshi. A purveyor of sizzling , slinky ,  pulsating and addictive electro pop , that excites and enchants with wild abandon. A melting pot sculpted in the 80's , that beautifully and sensationally mixes elements of Depeche Mode , Pet Shop Boys , Erasure , Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys to spectacular effect.
To my ears , current acts like Robyn , and Hurts would'nt be too far off an influence and sound.  But , to keep things simple and without using comparative studies with other acts , quite simply , Christian Oshi makes some sensational pop music.

It's inventive , melodic , lyrically sublime. If British pop was in need of a saviour. An antidote to X Factor rejects and Cowell puppets. Then , that saviour may have arrived in the quirky , eclectic , beautful form of London based artist Christianoshi.

I had s listen to some of his tracks whilst researching this article. A rollercoaster of synths , sick beats , sexy electro , euphoric vocals for sometime sombre , lamenting lyrics. This guy is the real deal. As well as being reminded of all the influences above , Christian's music to my ears also recalled shades of Madonna's 'Confessions On A Dancefloor ' , some Goldftrapp and Mancunian lads Hurts. Throw in some Disclosure and you have an explosive proposition.


The fantastic Fake Blood , would not have been out of place on Hurts debut album Happiness. I could not help but feel excited.
Christian has already released two singles on iTunes , in 2012 and recently played a headline show at Hoxton Underbelly.
Those two digital releases Trust and Fool , are insanely catchy , marinated in 80's synths , both superb. Christian promoted the releases with  shows in venues like The Social and The Royal Vauxhall Tavern. But his music cries out for a wider audience. And it is only a matter of time before he infests the mainstream in glorious fashion.



My other fave tracks were Fuck Me and Over Yourself.  Fuck Me is brash and ballsy , sexy and fierce. Sexy and fierce would be two words well used to describe Christian. " You dont wanna fuck me anymore " , he sings. It's fantastic stuff and I'm sure Christian Oshi is far from short of offers.
Then there was the brilliant Over Yourself , which contains the great kiss off line " My balls are bigger than yours "





It's adrenalin pumping , music of the night. Music for kissing passionately under a disco ball. Music for dancing euphorically to with the gayest of abandon. Music for long hot , sexy , nights. For a stolen kiss in a cramped cubicle.
But quintessentially , what Christianoshi is , is just superb pop music. This guy is a thrilling prospect , and I for one , am all aboard this journey his career is about to go on. Check this guy out for yourself , by downloading Trust on iTunes and investigating the links below. You'll be glad you did.
