Calling oneself the “Grand Son of Detroit Techno” is a lot to live up to – then again, over his nearly decade-long recording career, Alex O. Smith, a.k.a. Omar-S, has exhibited lifetimes of chutzpah. Since 2003, when the former Ford Motor Co. assembly-line worker started self-releasing tracks on his FXHE label, fans of a certain kind of raw Midwestern sound – let’s call it equal parts hi-tech soul and grimy, analog house music – have elevated Omar-S to levels usually reserved for the founders of Detroit and Chicago’s DJ/electronic dance culture. A classicist and moralist, he's talked miles of trash, backed it up with some phenomenal songs while never acknowledging trends and always presenting a vision of a fused future and past. In the process, he’s become an underground star the world over, selling out venues from London and Berlin, to Tokyo and Melbourne.

And now he’s done a five-song EP for the Scion A/V Club, entitled High School Graffiti and MTV Hive is lucky enough to offer you an exclusive track for download. “My Naffew Randy” is prototypical Omar: The groove is slower and dirtier than most house music, concocted with syncopated bass burbles, cheap drum machine sounds and Casio keyboard tones giving the whole thing song-form. The second half adds a layer of the bizarre in the form of a dubbed-out spoken voice (possibly the “Randy” of the title?), far beyond anything you’d find in an average club. This is, instead, a soundtrack to having dance-floor fun without forgetting the weird vibes.

High School Graffiti is out August 9 via Scion A/V. Check out "My Naffew Randy" in exchange for an email address.
