“As I sit here
Waiting and wanting
Surrounded by the ambient blur of the city lights
Waiting at a stop sign
Wanting to go beyond.”


It is exactly this longing to go beyond, beyond the solitary musical journey, that brought these two very gifted artists from Kyoto to cross each other’s’ paths. Marihiko Hara and Masumi Muranaka (Polar M), the 2 seasoned musicians from Kyoto, after 10 years of admiring each other works, decided to take on a voyage together, and sailed beyond the charted territories of their music. And thus, the beautiful result from this wonderful voyage - a special collaboration album entitled “Beyond”, was born.

In this album, both artists went beyond their own borders, over their perceived views, across existing ideas and ways of thinking, to allow their emotions to flow freely in the music making process. As a result, Marihiko, with his gorgeous piano touches, and Masumi, with his heart-felt guitars, jointly crafted the 10 delicate, and breath-takingly beautiful music pieces.

Traces of elegant post-classical, sweet-sounding folktronica, dreamy ambient, and even blue-ish jazz, can be found in this sound-rich album, with all elements masterfully blended together to create an exquisite music listening experience. Piano melodies that drifted in like fireflies at night, layers of guitars that painted the backdrop soundscapes, drips of tiny electronics, spaces between the notes…. The exquisiteness in music that created by Marihiko and Masumi’s wonderful talents are simply beyond words.

Mia Cabalfin, the renowned contemporary dancer from Philippines, who befriended the artists when they composed the music for her residency performance in Kyoto in 2012, lent her beautiful voice in spoken words for 3 amazing tracks. The album is mastered by Tokyo’s renowned musician and sound engineer, Chihei Hatakeyama, and features photos by prominent Japanese photographer Marisa Shimamoto, and designs by Itsuka Sato of sonihouse.

flica - in dreams

This offering by Berlin-based, world-influenced label Disco Halal presents three tracks that 
result from the collaboration between the Brazilian DJs and producers Selvagem and Carrot 
Green (who combine releases on BIS Inc, Universal Cave, Hello Sailor, Barefoot Beats, 
Brazilian Shakedown and Magic Movement). Exploring local melodies from the 60’s and 70’s, 
they built tracks that turn those sounds in some sort of exotic techno beasts, only with that 
tropical flavor. This black magic-blessed EP opens up with Ossain’s killer strings, psyched-out 
vocals and percussive breakdowns, followed by Dengo, a slow burner based on a candomble 
chant that, along with the flute, cowbell, and clapping, puts the audience into a spell.The B-side 
brings Vandre, a throbbing 126-bpm track carried by a lovely guitar and singalong vocals by one 
of Brazil’s most iconic protest singer. The package is complete with the remix by the ever 
growing italian duo Marvin & Guy, who kept the hypnotic aura with their lush minimal sounds. A 
crossover release hard to pin down, but all around.

Akamady imprint owner Komodo has been one of the leading figures developing the music scene in Jakarta, creating bridges with “The Land of The Rising Sun’s” music heritage. Magic Hour is the evocative name of his latest work for Cocktail d’Amore music. It takes us to a beach party from sunset to sunrise, barefoot in the sand. The title track is an ode to balearic and piano house ruling around long pads and dusty baselines. The Backwoods proudly contributes to the package with a more straightforward restyling. The melodic elements shrink melting in the rhythmical structure. The feel is deep and comforting resulting in a psychedelic illusion. On the flip Lizard Dance is a breakbeat referencing the UK leftfield scene of the 90’s. Mystical synth-lines develop through the track projecting the whole composition toward the sky. Sand Dunes is a track for late night dance floors. Here Komodo plays with a gloomy atmosphere and psychedelic
acid-tinged synth lines, the listener is suddenly projected into a crime scene.

Not An Animal Podcast 39 - CRAIG BRATLEY - NOV 19

Fifth World marks the debut of Parisian duo Mt. Rave. A six-track techno EP with that little extra something, the secret ingredients to making ravers feel as a single unity on a blissful, melting dancefloor. 

Micronesia is a trippy, dreamy jam filled with heavy percussions and glide-mode acid basslines, an invitation to go into a trance while the morning light filters through the trees branches in a dusky forest.
