The EP gained features on Resident Advisor and DJ Mag and it has been lapping up dance floors and radio plays all over the world.
Ovid, who is appearing in Wigwam with ‘Flood presents Ovid’ on May 19th has been keeping busy as of lately with appearances on NTS, at clubs in his native Washington and with his upcoming tour of course which features appearances at London’s Peckham Audio with ‘Manuka Honey’ and ‘Nara’ and at Glasgow’s Stereo with ‘Leonce’ to name just a few. He is joined on the night with some of Dublin’s finest talent with ‘DJ Selky’ of Club Comfort, ‘darkmavis’ of Crane Club and ‘Little O’ of DDR. Each of which he has made a connection to through club music online as everything navigated from the dance-floor to cyberspace over the past two years, which makes it very special that this event can take place in person in one of Dublin’s finest spaces.
