It seems that everyone is loving Yellow Magic Orchestra at the moment. I've been trying to figure out why there's such an explosion of YMO related tunes floating around recently, but all I can settle on is that Japanese tunes are in vogue as the next, relatively untapped source of rare grooves and beats due to language differences. Italo and Euro beats are naturally more comfortable to mine through, but Japanese music history has been seemingly left untouched. Regardless, here's some tunes from solo ventures from Haruomi Hosono and Ryuichi Sakamoto (both of YMO) if you haven't stumbled [...]
Sugar's Campaign is a collaborative effort between two electronic producers from Osaka: Avec Avec (aka Takuma Hosokawa) who just reached American audiences with the genre-hopping samples of his Plastic Soul Redux 7" released through LA's Mush Records ; and Seiho , an enthusiast of dark atmospheric hip-hop production and jazz samples, who gave us his debut album Mercury last year on his recently founded label Day Tripper Records . Despite both producers' leaning towards more forward-thinking electronic sounds in their individual efforts, Sugar's Campaign's newest track is a surprising [...]
Encore mieux qu'un spa et qu'un massage réuni, j'ai trouvé la solution zen et pas chère pour se changer les idées après une dur journée. Cette solution s'appelle Makoto . C'est un producteur japonais qui connait sur le bout des doigts les techniques de relaxation qu'il distille sans problème dans sa musique. Tel un décontractant musculaire la basse line discrète et à la fois omniprésente de Different Rhythm vous permet d'atteindre un confort optimal, What Do You Want se veut plus jazzy et cosmique à la fois, c'est le moment où l'on s'assoupit [...]

Tokyo's Elen Never Sleeps specializes in palatable and clever pop, delivered straight from his bedroom to yours. "Spinning Wheel" begins simply enough, with a straightforward drum machine beating out over breathlessly plaintive back to back verses, before launching into a refrain that's as uber catchy as you could hope for. The vocal harmonies circle each above the intertwined guitar parts gain momentum, allowing melancholy nature of the charmingly delivered lyrics comes into clearer focus. It's a proven formula for pop success that's been effectively repackaged into an interesting song structure that plays up the strengths of the music, rather than [...]
