Peanut Butter Waves FM - part 2

This track was originally written for one of the so-called “Japanese divas” popular at the time, but it was never used.
In the 1990s, whether it was Acid Jazz or alternative rock, the mainstream sound was gritty, hazy, and atmospheric—quite the opposite of today.

Watching Professional arrangers at work in the my sound making recording studio, I learned that even on keyboards, playing in a clavinet style could instantly make the groove funkier.
I remember throwing myself into the keys with all my energy.

The melody itself leaned heavily toward traditional Japanese pop, but recently I replaced the vocals and other parts with AI, giving it a fresh new character.
Because the original data was preserved on hard disk, I was able to recover the multitrack parts and faithfully reproduce the arrangement as it was.

Listening back to those old sounds, I can clearly hear what I myself was listening to at the time.

当時流行していた「JAPANESEディーバ」と呼ばれる女性シンガーのために書いたが、採用されずにボツになった曲。
1990年代は、アシッドジャズにしてもオルタナロックにしても、ざらついた音やもわっとした空気感のあるサウンドが主流で、今とは逆だった。
スタジオで僕の曲を編曲してくださった、プロのアレンジャーを見て、キーボードでClavinet奏法を試すと、それだけでグルーヴィーでファンキーになることを学んだ。
夢中で鍵盤を弾いていた記憶がある。

メロディは典型的な歌謡曲のようだったが、いまはAIを用いて声や他のパートを差し替え、当時とは違う響きで蘇らせている。
この頃のデータはハードディスクに残してあったため、楽器ごとのマルチデータを再現でき、当時のアレンジを忠実に蘇らせることができた。
昔の音を聴くと、その時代の自分が何を聴いていたかが鮮明に思い出される。

Brooklyn-based producer Jitwam takes to The Jazz Diaries, the label he runs with Casey Van Reyk and Nigel Mphisa, to release his latest vibed-out offering in the 'Purple' EP, which features a heavy dose of his distinctly funky, soulful and eclectic sound-profile.

Born in India, raised in Australia and now splitting time between Brooklyn and London, Jitwam's vast musical knowledge and diverse influences shine in his unique productions. When describing the new record, he shares that it's “heavily influenced by the rhythm of New York. The buses, cars, and trains... It feels like a night out in NYC, making your way to the club and ending back at the crib at 5 AM watching the sunrise.”

Here Mixmag premieres the lead cut 'Desire', a bumping and bouncing groove oozing with a smooth arrangement of organic elements, piercing guitar riffs and sensual vocals. 

Jitwam's 'Purple' EP is set to be released July 18.
