OBUH is a label functioning in different forms since 1987, run by Wojcek Czern. The name is an acronym of a motto that in English could read "Sounds of sidings will create harmony” altough there is a word "obuch” which means "battle-axe".

I don't claim that I was growing up listening to its releases but from the start of my serious engagement with music I was aware of the label (which was somewhat cultish in Poland at the turn of centuries) and following many artists from its catalogue. So, for me it was an occasion to revisit those albums I already knew (and sometimes haven't listened to in many years) and to dig deeper to find more obscure offerings.

With his efforts Czern was putting Poland on a map of unusual musics and in this circuit of labels, mailorders, magazines. He has a lot of contacts thanks to trading records and very soon he was also releasing licensed material from labels whose output wasn't available in Poland. In this way Polish audience was introduced to artists like Francisco López or If, Bwana. In turn, OBUH productions were available in shops around the world hopefully letting people abroad know that something is happening in this quite big but quite mysterious country.

I can hear that Polish musicians from OBUH knew what was going on outside their box and that they wanted to be a side in the dialogue. This fact I emphasized by altering Polish and other tracks in the mix.
