Newcomer Pie Eye Collective takes the epic album closer from 2019's Sonkei by Rōnin Arkestra and gives it the most forthright remix the band have received yet. Blending house and broken beat vibes with a fluidity and naturalness that completely belies how early the producer is in his career, Tempestuous Temperaments flies through huge piano stabs and massive horn loops. This is very big music. 

Rōnin Arkestra started life with de Clive Lowe wanting to create a project with some of his favourite Japanese musicians, unaware of the sound, shape or vibe it would manifest. Reaching out to his musician friends including Sauce81, they began recording at Red Bull Studio in Tokyo and the chemistry was instant, creating an impulsive sound that blended spiritual jazz and beat sensibilities heavy on the improvisation. 

“That’s the beauty of this collective - everyone is so great at what they do, playing to the music rather than their own egos and so open to the moment. That’s the heart of the ‘jazz’ in Ronin Arkestra - being wide open to the moment and letting the music happen as it wants to.” says de Clive-Lowe.
