Release : June 2022

---

SAISEI founder Junki Inoue continues his vital archival work uncovering the riches of Japan’s distinctive electronic music scene and bringing them to new audiences around the world. The Sounds Of Transonic compiles six tracks recorded in Tokyo between 1991 and 1995 and released by the pioneering Transonic label, founded in 1994 by Kazunao Nagata and active until 2004.
Transonic’s catalogue is a glittering roll call of the scene’s major players, whose inventive and genre-blending work established forward-thinking house and techno in Japan in a way that would shape the country’s electronic sound for years to come. Transonic was instrumental in giving exposure to the work of these artists with its emblematic series of CD compilations, released over a short couple of years in the mid 90s. Beginning with 970-1450km/h, Feedback and Range, the series also included The Roots Of Transonic, featuring music from parent label Trigger. Alongside these compilations came much sought-after solo albums each packaged with striking cover art that makes the discs a visual treat for collectors to this day.
The Sounds Of Transonic brings together six tracks from the catalogue into one breath-taking package. The influence of hi-tech jazz and machine funk from Detroit is undeniable in ‘Dream Trance’ (Mind Design) and ‘Blasting Soul’ (Interferon), while ‘Under The Ground’ (Palomatic) and ‘Chelsea’ (Suzukiski) are permeated by the artificial intelligence and trip hop emanating from the UK at the time. The compilation is bookended by two tracks by Nagata himself (as Organization): ‘Space Ball’, a Model 500-worthy chase through the cosmos, and ‘Call’, an eerie echo of Kraftwerk’s telephone, transmitting expectantly out into the void and, finally, receiving its celestial answer.
With The Sounds Of Transonic these formative pieces of music will now be available internationally and, for the first time, on vinyl.
SAISEI is a Japanese word which translates to ‘reproduction’ and ‘to play’ (as in playing records). Japanese culture is widely known for its traditional nature just as much as it is for being forward into the future and this label’s concept does justice to exactly that. Having started digging for records as early as 16 years old, Inoue delved into productions from 1990s Japan to uncover these native gems. SAISEI’s core concept is to recapture and reintroduce unique pieces of Japanese electronic music onto vinyl, to an audience it never reached before as most of this music was only released in Japan.

Tribe is a record label created by like-minded artists from Barcelona, with a bold purpose of generating and sharing their idea of timeless electronic music. The debut EP Tribe01 comprises four different yet catchy and charismatic tunes that meet at the same point –  the dance floor. 

As you take off from the A side, you discover an audioreactive tune “Inertia” – a creation of Baraso & Sonodab aka Barson. The track has a genuine ravy soul spiced with an acid touch and a memorable pad that will get stuck in your head. 
As you continue exploring A side, you recognize the 1996 masterpiece “Hamstrung” by Freddy Fresh aka Modulator, head of Analog Records USA. This exclusive re-edit made with Freddy’s permission has a legendary groove of 90’s and filtered hats that make a good party great.

Moving on to the B side, you meet a serious dance floor burner “Chromatic Life” – a creation of Artes. The track is a travel towards the unknown depth of acid, house and techno sounds – a journey you want to make.

As you finish your sound voyage, you discover a phenomenal “Gravitron” by a mastermind John Shima. The track breathes a melancholic tune, garnished with John’s unique charisma: detroitish pads, acid elements, and a well-balanced groove that will hypnotize with its vibe.

Title: Zvok: SW EP
Label: From The Void Above
Cat No: FTVA02                                   
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist:                                       
A1. Visitore
A2. Second Start
B1. Everybody In (Coincidential Mix)
B2. 12H/Sun

Our second analysis of frequencies from the void above resulted in a transmission which appears to be the legacy of an ancient intelligence. FTVA02 consists of four cuts by prolific producer Eliaz, where he presents his braided take on electro and acid house. 

On the A-Side the record opens with Visitore, a slow and deep acid track which lifts off gradually. With Second Start on the A2, we have a dark and moody electro cut where the drums and textures morph seamlessly with each other.

The B-Side opens with the Coincidental Mix of Everybody In, a powerful yet twisted electro cut where the elements unhinge steadily. Finally B2, 12H/Sun, sucks us into it’s range of acid and electric sounds resulting in a dark journey through the universe.

“Accept the existence of the void as a real entity, in which atoms can move and rearrange themselves”.

Eliaz - Zvok: SW EP (FTVA02)

Up next on Pleasure Club we have the debut EP from label owner Bobby.  Intergalactic, interdimensional compositions which, if given the chance, could provide suitable soundtracks to a space race. Fusing the sounds of techno, breaks and classic tech-house, all three tracks are primed and ready for dance-floor detonation. May the source be with you...
