Following label boss OMRI.’s (pronounced OMRI dot) own solo release to kick off the year, as well as the label’s first showcase in Tulum earlier this month, Collecting Dots Records continues its 2026 momentum with a familiar name at the helm. Returning following his impressive debut last summer, N.O.Y unveils his second release on the bubbling imprint with ‘Drop The Needle On My Soul’, a two-track statement that arrives one year on from the label’s launch.
Building on the groove-led approach showcased on his previous EP ‘Voices’, N.O.Y once again taps into the hypnotic core of the dancefloor. Title track ‘Drop The Needle On My Soul’ sets the tone with driving rhythm and expressive detail, balancing lighter vocals and intensity as it unfolds with captivating intent. On the flip, ‘La Roja’ pushes into deeper, more psychedelic territory, pairing rolling low-ends with nuanced percussion and a sense of late-night propulsion.
A regular presence on forward-thinking labels such as Disco Halal, Hard Fist, and Frau Blau, N.O.Y’s sound sits comfortably within the ethos of Collecting Dots Records – music that prioritises feeling, movement, and personality over rigid formulas. His return reinforces the close creative alignment between artist and label as OMRI. continues to shape a focused yet diverse collective of artists and family members from across the globe.
