Beautiful ghost town forever ...
A collection album that covers the ten generations of the solitary genius Burial will be released

The 2006 debut album "Burial" and the following year's second album "Untrue" have been established, and although their identity and identity are still unknown, their overwhelmingly original sound is UK garage-dubstep. By extension, Burial left a big impact as one of the representative artists of the 0's beyond the category of club music. The genius who continued to be silent revived with the EP work "Street Halo" in 2011 when he entered a new decade, and although expectations for the release of the third album increased, he suddenly continued to release EPs and singles after that, " I continued to search for new expressions after "Untrue". This work is a collection album that covers the steps that Burial left on Hyperdub in the Ten's, and walked to the unexperienced zone with listeners, seeking dismantling of the post dubstep that he had built himself, release from the scale and development of the track. A total of 17 songs, 150 minutes, including 6 songs from the first CD version of the song, are recorded on a 2-CD set. From "Street Halo" and "Loner", which presented a deep house mode with a hasty 4/4 beat, to "Kindred", which is an 11-minute self-collage of your own world view, and more emotional without being bound by the beat. "Rival Dealer" that develops a unique story, "Truant" that has one of the best sunlight ambiences in history, "Come Down To Us" that is a popular song representing Burial in the Tens, and recent single "State Forest". The pieces of the lonely genius, including the burial ambient track, are rearranged in the order of the intentional songs, and are completed here as one big lyric poem.

What is HIP HOP Global? What is local? The new work of JUU4E, a Thai rapper who repaints the hype-covered , is a light of hope for pan-Asian music in the 21st century, and is a black ship released to the world. No, if it was a black ship that appeared dignifiedly in the daytime, this work is a small smuggling ship that sews the night and crosses the sea to carry .

TRAP beats born in Atlanta in the United States have become a common language in the world and continue to produce replicas, and as in Asia, many acts appear and disappear, and rappers from countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia have been attracting attention for a long time nowadays. "YouTube play XX million times!" "Instagram follower XX million people!" Such phrases flew around, and the rapper made full use of social media to aim for monetization from a single buzz. It is JUU4E that strongly expresses and continues to create original HIP HOP.

JUU4E is a rapper who has been respected as an OG in Thailand, where young talents are appearing one after another, and has established a unique standing position. In the previous work "New Luk Thung" (2019), under the production of Young-G of stillichimiya / OMK, a masterpiece that is the latest HIPHOP and the latest Luk Thung by eclectic Thai omnivorous ghetto song, Luk Thung with HIP HOP. I made it. This work shocked both inside and outside the country, such as being nominated for the prestigious RIN (Rap is Now) annual best in Thailand, but when this "New Luk Thung" was released, in fact, this work "Idiot World" was already produced. Was starting.

This work is all self-produced by JUU4E. The lyric that interweaves Thai, Japanese and English, the stretchable flow, and the track that has a lower center of gravity than the previous work and is boiled down in dubby are the same as the previous work that chewed HIP HOP / TRAP and made it completely own, but it should be noted. Is a point where you can feel the intention to strongly represent . Ron Gen, a Japanese folk song influenced by Malaysian music, and Teresa Ten's songs that JUU4E has been accustomed to since childhood are quoted, but they have been incorporated into JUU4E. Is lightly slashing the masquerading global and exoticism that world music once had, as well as the self-orientalism that is innocently rampant in the current Asian hip-hop.

If you touch this work by biting the information that floods the net with HIP HOP hot in Asia, you're lucky. I want you to be stupid by all means being overwhelmed by the lyrics that challenge the "stupid world" head-on and the sound that is bitten by overwhelming freedom.

In addition to her classic low-tech processing based on analog tapes, this work is a new frontier with multiple layers of synth sounds, tape loops, sampling of voice and instrumental sounds, and participation performances by friend musicians. The result is a mysterious music that is unclear whether it is 300 years old African folk music, a spliced folk song of some country, techno or experimental music, and the coolest 2013 latest contemporary music. .. A 35-minute hypnosis with a tingling sensation and an analog mellowness ... This may be the front-line rock.

Post-Plurrian? EG ?? The return of Muslimgauze ??? The strongest active rhythmic noise / drum'n'noise techno girls, shocking Alexandra Atonif!

80s Noise / Industrial Music There is no doubt that you will be fascinated by listeners from the golden age to experimental techno freaks these days! !! Romanian-born and now LA-based female musician Alexandra Atniff advocates the music "Rhythmic Brutalist" inspired by the architectural style "Brutalist" that prevailed during the Cold War.

She doesn't use any vintage synthesizers or expensive equipment, and uses freeware to release just bare concrete-like beats. The track group with its decoration removed already has a terrific sensation reminiscent of great ancestors such as Esplendor Geoméco. While maintaining the functionality of minimal techno, the vibes that noise / industrial music lost after passing club music, the one and only sound that makes you feel ferocious, sets it apart from existing industrial techno. There is.

This time, A.A himself reworked the independent album, and released the newly edited "Rhythmic Brutalist Vol. 1" as EM Records Edition and the sequel "Same Vol. 2" at the same time. The impression is different from the "1st collection", which is closer to minimal techno, and the "2nd collection", which is more abstract and closer to electronic music, but the whole story is full of brutalist architecture. Brin Jones must nod in the shade of the grass!

The devil machine psycho funk of Washington DC, who is invited by Prince from the funk spirit world, that wicked witch breaks the silence and releases the new single for the first time in 30 years, 12 inches of old and new east-west crossovers set.

Disc 1 contains 4 new WW songs (1 song remixed and remastered), Disc 2 contains re-editing of up-and-coming German creators / skaters and DJ slingshots, and Koshiro Hino (YPY) + Yosuke Yukimatsu (YY). Includes reconstruction by the new unit YYPYY. In fact, Wicked Witch, who has been playing music for a long time, has desolate acid funk, "Funky by U" like Indian base music, "Under Your Spell 2016" and stoned. The condition is overwhelming (I do not know what the aim is again this time). DJ Slyngshot is an experimental and 80s flavour hard beat re-edited with a mix of early Chicago house / old school / techno. On the other hand, Hino and Yukimatsu are metamorphosis tunes that dragged WW into another dark side (

Nana Vasconcelos meets Midori Takada! ?? !! "Beginning" is a threatening work in which static and dynamic are delicately and boldly intermingled with ambient closed-door exotic fantasy dance music born from the exploration of the devilish world of a single overdubbing orchestra. The coupling is that Lena Willikens REMIX!

M Records will deliver the world debut of Mari Sekine, a percussionist who is active in the band! With over 10 minutes of masterpieces, you can easily control more than 15 types of percussion instruments such as kalimba, marimba, udu drum, goblet drum, djembe, talking drum, cajon, berimbau, etc. by multiple recording, and combine them with tape reverse rotation and voice. Unsurprisingly, this "Beginning" is Sekine's first "solo" recording. And it is clear from listening to this song that Sekine's musicianship was not cultivated yesterday and today. Midori Takada's fans, who seem to be the biggest hidden talents in recent years, will be surprised and welcomed. Overdubbing by multi-percussionists is also found in contemporary music, but has there ever been a work that has such overwhelming power and is compatible with everything from home listening to the floor? Expectations are high for the 1st album being produced!

The coupling is a angry funky uppercut that extracts the tribal component of "Beginning" with REMIX by the popular DJ Lena Villikens!

* "Beginning" is a rework of the song released as her 1st single "midori" (Tongs International), returning to the original title at the beginning of the recording, extending it almost three times, and reworking it into a reggae disco 12-inch composition.

Mari Sekine Profile:
Touched percussion instruments at university and started activities after graduation. After working as a JAZZ FUNK band, he joined the big band "Shibusashirazu" in 2000. Currently, he is active in sessions such as Goko Nishikawa (ex. Shang Shang Typhoon) "Hoshi no Hibuya", Michiro Endo (ex. THE STALIN) "THE END", percussion instrument group "Orquesta Nudge! Nudge!" There are many activities in theatrical works, such as Kazuyoshi Kushida's "Caucasus's White Ink Ring", "Sunshine Bo", "Sanjin Yoshizo", "Kiri no Yozo", Yang Jung Eun's "Peer Gynt", and the theater group "Kaze". Participated in "Matsurowanu Min" and "Mud Rear" of "Brick Dance".

The culmination of big sounds created by the small label with a sense and spirit!
Is this "No New York" in Japan in 2020? Is it "Pillows & Prayers"? No, it's not like that. Visit the first label compilation of "Birdfriend", a sublime (reckless) DIY label run by YPY / goat's Koshiro Hino. When you hear this, you want to create asexually!

"It's too experimental and challenging to release, but there are still many great ones" (by Koshiro Hino)

Birdfriend, a label of Koshiro Hino (YPY / goat) who continues to release DIY music of electronics and self-made remodeled musical instrument creators based on a thorough writer's standard of choosing by sound instead of name. From the start in 2013, DIY handmade with enthusiasm, patience and sincerity, special personalities such as Bonno Nomukuro, UNBE, Futoshi Moriyama, Wet Dog, NEW MANUKE, OPQ, Inoue Shirabe, JMT Synth, H. Takahashi, Sofheso・ Dropped into a cassette and released 38 original works to date. Overcoming various problems, we made 5,000 pieces!

Birdcage's first label compilation, "Bird Cage," was an attempt to put these Birdfriend friends in one place by abusing Hino's authority. When I forcibly compiled those people who couldn't be edited quietly in the first place, what appeared there was an unexpectedly fresh story! Now is the time to ask the world about the feats (variants) of mysterious bird friends. When you hear this, you will be surrounded by feelings (impression?) That you do not understand, and you will probably want to create asexually!

The latest work by Don't DJ, a German genius composer / producer. Techno Sun Ra? Underground YMO? Experimental ethnic electronics techno exo music with the theme of the hyperspace world.

Florian Meyer, who toured domestically with YPY, now explodes a foreign talent as a solo name Don't DJ, rather than a member of The Durian Brothers and Institut Für Feinmotorik. According to him, this work "has become a relatively easy-to-hear category for me." A double-sided mini-album with the theme of the hyperspace world, which seems to be named after Sun Ra's masterpiece "Space Is the Place" (1973), of that "Authentic Exoticism" (2016). A work that seems to be an evolved version. The title is not Date, but side A, which is a digital possession of the world of San La, and instead, side AA has a scale like Ethiopia or Indonesia. Expressed ethnic exo techno sound. It's still an experimental attempt, but his talent is the pop finish. A-2 is a collaboration with Derek Pyotr and enthusiasts should pay attention!

Finally came out! !! !! That Martin O'Cuthbert, which was traded only between Far North Music Seekers and Junkies, has been released by EM in Japan! !! !!

"Record of the Year:
Martin O'Cuthbert:'B.E.M.S' (Esoteric Records)
Seriously, when I played this record, something on the wall suddenly quivered. There are also witnesses. Martin Ocasbert is a super evil person (listen to the record) or a ridiculous idiot (listen to the record). Maybe don't be big in Japan. I think it's all because of Yamaha's organ, but how can I make such a terrible sound with a synth? "
(John Lydon "New Musical Express" July 22, 1978)

------------------------------------------------------------

"INDUSTRIAL MUSIC FOR INDUSTRIAL PEOPLE !!! [Noise-filled disc guide 511 selections]" A collection of pathological alien synth music that will be sent to you with the selection and commentary of the author, Tamotsu Mochida! !!

Martock (early active under the name Martin Ocasbert) is an English writer / electronic and electrical musician who appeared on Earth during the post-punk period and is still active. Inspired by John Foxx, Fad Gadgets, Kraftwerk, Eno and others, he is deeply devoted to science fiction and fantasy literature, including his countrymen J.G. Ballard and Iain Banks. It's unclear if the composition developed into his own work, but the mighty power of his Dark Force was proved by numbing John Lydon (and in his debut work).

He rejected all major invitations and released everything independently for the noble purpose of "creating lasting music that doesn't look at things that are in line with disposable products" (!!!). There are 11 singles and 13 albums. In the recording, I used a lot of drum machines with a crunchy synth sound that seems to have been sent to aliens and a collapsed groove feeling. All 10 songs The Best of Martock selected by Dr. Mochida, who took the great works that are completely ill (= difficult for earthlings to understand) !!!! (Professor Boredoms Yamazuka) It ’s a little famous for its favorite!?!)

Alex Ice & Drink (real name Alex Eisenling), who has been active since the 1970s when young people saw blood just by playing music, became a synth in the early 1980s during the Mexican currency crisis. It was Sintoma who released her passion and anger at the drum machine. Sintoma is a trio of Alex, his wife Cynthia Napalm, and friend Bernard Gonzalez. An underground-smelling electro with an overdose sensation and vocals with a Latin accent melody that Cynthia is angry with are released with a dry Mexican that follows a step toward worsening public order. Inspired by this band, a self-produced indie and underground scene will appear in Mexico. This work is compiled from their album / single / unreleased song. The CD version has 2 bonus songs. Fortunately, high-quality sound is guaranteed by mastering based on the existing master tape sound source.

What is really happening now?
A 2020s new generation compilation with a digital release as the default generation, and a as the main focus. With no city pop, techno, or ambient, the creativity of the 12 songs on the front line of JAPANESE INDIE LEFTFIELD illuminates the future of post-pandemic beyond the current chaos!

of the Japanese 2020s music scene that may be named someday. "S.D.S" tries to package the that flows to the production site where Hype does not work. Contains 12 self-produced songs by 17 creators and 3 behind-the-scenes, 8 of which have no physical release experience, and 12 of the VINYL version have no experience of subscription / DL / Youtube music. It will be a collection of works of the generation who have experienced it.

All "S.D.S" works are based on D.I.Y home recording, which does not need to give the term of bedroom pop, and are a mixture of musical languages such as electronic music, trap, indie pop, bass music, and EDM / ADM. It's a hip-hop expression, but the position is shifted from the mainstream of the current hip-hop, rather it is a tune closer to electronic music, or vice versa, and there are also irregular works that are difficult to explain, and it is full of works that bother critics. Amalgam is the heart of reality. This phenomenon is common to the creators of "S.D.S", which is why it is important to listen individually to who is playing what kind of music. Betting on sense, ideas and spirit, the passion for making music lies behind the atmosphere of creativity, sharp dedication, and daring boldness in Japan's current underground scene.

Euphoria indeed. Rie Lambdoll and Mayuko are the two euphoric Synth Sisters, Osaka-based musicians who also comprise Crossbred. “Euphoria” is the duo’s long-awaited second release, following their 2014 debut. This release consists entirely of new Synth Sister recordings, featuring Mayuko’s synthesizers, and Rie’s electric piano and synthesizers as well as her celestial vocals. The euphoria on offer here features equal parts of angelic arpeggios, seraphic sequences, meditative melodies and transcendental timbres, masterfully mixed and mastered by Kabamix. The pieces here, all composed and produced by Rie Lambdoll, combine drifting drones with rhythmic elements sure to appeal to fans of Tangerine Dream; (Terry) Riley-esque meditations melding with psychedelic musings in blissful ease. Available on CD, 12-inch vinyl or as a download, “Euphoria” is yours for the asking. EM Records delivers the goodness.

The current three artists will challenge the difficult song "Gun Ho 1,2,3D", which is a masterpiece of New Zealand's legendary performance group From Scratch. This is a cover performance collection in which each person explores how to play with percussion as the common denominator (* not a remix collection). Everyone made it very hard. I look forward to working with you!

From Scratch is a development of a performance group organized by Phil Dudson, who learned from the far-left musician Cornelius Cardew, as the New Zealand branch of the Scratch Orchestra in the 1970s. They are known around the world for their combative custom instruments, and Ryuichi Sakamoto became a percussion instrument unit at a glance, and he visited Japan twice.

The work that can be said to be their true value is this difficult song "Gung Ho 1,2,3D", which features hocking in which the performers beat different beats individually, and the ultimate polyrhythm with accurate repetitive rhythm is a masterpiece. The sound is mechanical and inorganic in terms of characters, but the overtone-covered mundane sounds generated from the vinyl chloride tube and the slight error caused by human performance become organic components and create a mysterious ecstasy.

In this work, the original recording of 1981, which was performed in the most complicated 8,9,10 and 9,10,11 time signatures of "Gung Ho 1,2,3D", is the first, and the current three artists in Japan and abroad: Goat (M2) led by YPY Koshiro Hino / Don't DJ (M3), a German genius / Utena Kobayashi (M4), who is currently active in DAN, Tokumaru Shugo, etc. Contains a total of 4 works. All the performances are based on the score, but the interpretations of the four are completely different, and despite the fairly advanced performance, it has a pop appearance due to the repetitive rhythm.

What is HIP HOP Global? What is local? The new work of JUU4E, a Thai rapper who repaints the hype-covered , is a light of hope for pan-Asian music in the 21st century, and is a black ship released to the world. No, if it was a black ship that appeared dignifiedly in the daytime, this work is a small smuggling ship that sews the night and crosses the sea to carry .

TRAP beats born in Atlanta in the United States have become a common language in the world and continue to produce replicas, and as in Asia, many acts appear and disappear, and rappers from countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia have been attracting attention for a long time nowadays. "YouTube play XX million times!" "Instagram follower XX million people!" Such phrases flew around, and the rapper made full use of social media to aim for monetization from a single buzz. It is JUU4E that strongly expresses and continues to create original HIP HOP.

JUU4E is a rapper who has been respected as an OG in Thailand, where young talents are appearing one after another, and has established a unique standing position. In the previous work "New Luk Thung" (2019), under the production of Young-G of stillichimiya / OMK, a masterpiece that is the latest HIPHOP and the latest Luk Thung by eclectic Thai omnivorous ghetto song, Luk Thung with HIP HOP. I made it. This work shocked both inside and outside the country, such as being nominated for the prestigious RIN (Rap is Now) annual best in Thailand, but when this "New Luk Thung" was released, in fact, this work "Idiot World" was already produced. Was starting.

This work is all self-produced by JUU4E. The lyric that interweaves Thai, Japanese and English, the stretchable flow, and the track that has a lower center of gravity than the previous work and is boiled down in dubby are the same as the previous work that chewed HIP HOP / TRAP and made it completely own, but it should be noted. Is a point where you can feel the intention to strongly represent . Ron Gen, a Japanese folk song influenced by Malaysian music, and Teresa Ten's songs that JUU4E has been accustomed to since childhood are quoted, but they have been incorporated into JUU4E. Is lightly slashing the masquerading global and exoticism that world music once had, as well as the self-orientalism that is innocently rampant in the current Asian hip-hop.

If you touch this work by biting the information that floods the net with HIP HOP hot in Asia, you're lucky. I want you to be stupid by all means being overwhelmed by the lyrics that challenge the "stupid world" head-on and the sound that is bitten by overwhelming freedom.

In the previous work "Isted Serenade", the amplification was modest and the emphasis was on the deep acoustic sound, but in this work, his new frontier is heard with the electro sound that has been synthesized (synthesized). On the surface, that's the case, but his philosophy "isophonic" is still pierced in the core, and what is expressed through Young's unique conprovisation (composition and improvisational compound word) is "isophonic. His world that continues from "Bugiugi". Therefore, the degree of discipline of the sound is different from that of the electro guys there, and the density is able to withstand deep listening. Also, the sound pressure and facial expression of the sound was a problem until the end of completion, and his realism still living in Brooklyn is reflected in the tension of this aggressive and tingling sound.

The current three artists will challenge the difficult song "Gun Ho 1,2,3D", which is a masterpiece of New Zealand's legendary performance group From Scratch. This is a cover performance collection in which each person explores how to play with percussion as the common denominator (* not a remix collection). Everyone made it very hard.

Without using any expensive equipment, we regard the portable radio as "the cheapest and most powerful synthesizer in the world", connect it to a sampler with unique settings and a digital delay, and develop the performance while forming a loop. Then, the sound revolts and runs away as if the equipment was broken! (* For the secret and the core of this equipment set, refer to the explanation of the main part.) The hip-hop sampling technique is prominently shown in the rhythm side, and in terms of sound output, it is the founder of the turntablist, or It also has the rhythm of "(Steve) Reich meets (Philip) Glass who is exhausted" (writer's talk). It can be said that it is the original that seems to provoke blockbuster-oriented writers and popular music, but this is what the 1985 recording was! * In 2001, Philip Sherburn called "Devil's Music" "an early mold for techno." This work is based on the original LP of "Devil's Music", "Real Landscape" (1987), which is said to be a "remix" version, and "The Spark Heard'Round The World" (unreleased song), which is an advanced version. 2-disc deluxe version with the addition of. The CD version also includes the latest software version (Mac / Win compatible) that allows you to experiment with "Devil's Music" as an extra program, and a valuable 1987 live performance video. The LP version is a 2-disc set with a double-page spread jacket. Nicolas Collins is an experimental music writer who has been active since the early 1980s, and has the title of professor of music at Chicago University of the Arts and editor of the journal "Leonard Music Journal" for experimental music, while being a beginner. He has a sense of balance that is different from the pedigree-attached contemporary music Puritan, which is to publish the how-to book "Handmade Electronic Music" (not yet released in Japan) for electronic musical instrument production. He has co-starred and co-produced with such faces as David Tudor, John Zorn, Christian Marclay, Elliott Sharp, and David Sea.

The original was released on Folkways in 1983, and the phantom board, which was highly acclaimed by the world's experimental music enthusiasts, has recurred from M! A Fluxus-like work that "plays" a bicycle by attaching a voltage-type self-made pickup microphone developed with advice from David Tudor to the bicycle to generate a gamelan-like sound. Disc 1 contains the contents of the original record and the performance scenery as extras. Disc 2 contains works by Richard Rahman from 1964 to 1986. Both are the world's first CDs. It ’s a historic achievement.

Alex Ice & Drink (real name Alex Eisenling), who has been active since the 1970s when young people saw blood just by playing music, became a synth in the early 1980s during the Mexican currency crisis. It was Sintoma who released her passion and anger at the drum machine. Sintoma is a trio of Alex, his wife Cynthia Napalm, and friend Bernard Gonzalez. An underground-smelling electro with an overdose sensation and vocals with a Latin accent melody that Cynthia is angry with are released with a dry Mexican that follows a step toward worsening public order. Inspired by this band, a self-produced indie and underground scene will appear in Mexico. This work is compiled from their album / single / unreleased song. The CD version has 2 bonus songs. Fortunately, high-quality sound is guaranteed by mastering based on the existing master tape sound source.

YPY is back with his third full-length album, his second on EM Records, following his 2016 debut “Zurhyrethm”. YPY is the solo alias of Osaka-based Koshiro Hino, who has honed his rhythmic instincts as leader of the acclaimed Japanese band “goat” and the sound installation/theatre project “GEIST” and “Virginal Variations”. His preoccupation with propulsion is on full display here, across five tracks of varying density and intensity, all thoroughly beat-oriented, with skeins of synthesized and sampled sound stretching to the horizon, rising from a bedrock of minimal drum machine pulses, all lovingly embraced in a cassette-borne sonic fug. The cover image and title hearken back to Hino’s past, with the image obscurely referencing his yesteryear green mohawk, and the title derived from Talking Heads, but this effervescent album, though recorded using cassette technology, is not a sad tale of nostalgia, rather a look at a present/pleasant reality. Available on digital, 12-inch vinyl and CD. Cover drawings by NAZE.

A collection of darkly shining northern diamonds, "Sous juju" is a two-CD compilation of the musical work of Kuupuu from her first releases in 2003 up to previously unreleased material from 2012. Kuupuu, known by her parents as Jonna Karanka, is a self-taught musician and visual artist from Finland who inhabits a semi-magical world where the mundane and the mysterious meet and make wonderful music together. Using tapes and loops, instruments both traditional and modern, Kuupuu's blend of low-tech electroacoustics and high-north songcraft is charming, surprising and unique. Sous juju gathers her self-released material, plus pieces culled from vinyl, cassette and CDR on American and European labels, as well as an unreleased piece and a 2012 vinyl remix from EM Records. This is a fine opportunity to hear the early work of an artist who promises to continue to enchant us well into the future.
