Montoya's New Single Oddu is Out Now!
ZZK Records Presents Montoya’s New Single: Oddu
The Sonic Threshold Where the Ego Dissolves
“Oddu” is the first single and opening piece from Tayta, Montoya’s new album, marking a turning point in his sonic narrative. As an introduction, the track inhabits that precise threshold where the ego begins to dissolve not as a rupture, but as a necessary passage, a form of ritual death that clears the space for the transformation proposed by the full record.
The work takes its name from Oduduwa, a central figure in Yoruba tradition and architect of the realms between life and transcendence. Here, the deity does not appear as an external narrative, but as an atmospheric presence that permeates the sonic fabric, invoking creation from the void and establishing the mystical tone that runs throughout the album.
The architecture of this first single unfolds as an organic accumulation of tension: layers that build and collapse, where the elegance of violins and the mystical wood tones of marimbas emerge from within the density. This amalgam proposes a constant dialogue between the ancestral and the unstable, between solid ground and the abyss.
At 125 BPM, the pulse of “Oddu” becomes an unyielding backbone that drives the body forward, eliminating any sense of anticipation. It does not aim for the courtesy of accompaniment, but for the provocation of movement: a sensory impact in which experience always arrives before thought. Within the ecosystem of Tayta, this single marks the exact moment when listening ceases to be a passive process and becomes evidence of transmutation.
