Locana is a jazz, electronic, and funk fusion project from Seattle producer Oliver Crosby, who aims to blend the complex harmonies of traditional jazz with modern sounds and upbeat rhythms. This collection of music is more than just an album, it’s a sonic odyssey that transcends genres and takes listeners into uncharted musical soundscapes.
