Hazy

Recently I mentioned that I had a cassette tape from over 40 years ago when The Takahashi Band of 82 made a demo track for a potential TV commercial. The track was only worked on for a day or two and then abandoned. I think we all had a busy year and for whatever reason this recording was discarded.

I also talked about sharing the recording one day just for nostalgic reasons, however the mix was a very basic end-of-day progress mix and no vocal part was conceived. Sharing it in this form would not do the potential of the work any justice.

The track began with chords and synths that Yukihiro Takahashi recorded, the basic building blocks of his composition. I added the drum part. Having been intensively rehearsing and performing Takahashi material this triggered a distinct blend of my own style as might appear on tracks such as 'The Art of Parties' and Yukihiro's style on tracks such as 'Glass'. Haruomi Hosono added his brilliance on bass, as well as Masami Tsuchiya overlaying guitar parts and Hajime Tachibana adding a saxophone solo.

Fast forward over 40 years....
 
At the end of 2023 I sent the demo to singer/songwriter Marco Machera, someone I’ve collaborated with a few times in the past and whose vocal style I felt would compliment the music. Yukihiro also enjoyed Marco's music, including it on his own radio show. I asked Marco to consider adding a vocal which he was happy to do, also composing lyrics too.

I used an AI program to break down the stereo mix of the original cassette recording into individual tracks (this is a relatively new technology and although the quality struggled it allowed for a little bit more flexibility with the mixing and blending of new overdubs). The performed parts were retained, and to which I recorded some additional instrumentation as well as joining Marco on the chorus vocals. I made a new mix of the track. So what we have here is the finished piece: “Impossible Until It Happens”. 

Marco and I share this as an homage to Yukihiro who passed away this time last year and is greatly missed. We can feel the essence of Yukihiro's writing style in this track and we hope that you enjoy it.

1・8・4 - Single

1・8・4 (demo)

Media Blackout all-star ‘Medsound' returns with his latest smash ‘Moving Right' featuring the deliciously voice of Dana Jean Phoenix who makes her debut on the label. The Barcelona based enigmatic Medsound has been a regular in many top artist playlists, constantly showcasing his huge originality and versatility without ever disappointing. 

Russian master of the cool beat ‘Alex Hook' is another making his debut on Media Blackout with his incredible rendition of ‘Moving Right'. Alex's affair with sound "through heart, hands and computer tools" has led to a raft of successful releases and remixes, and this is no exception. With recently occupying the number 1 spot on Beatport he truly lets his talent shine thru with his rendition of 'Moving Right'. Part deep nu disco, part driving four to the floor house; his remix of is ode to house music that creates a mood that's perfect for any dance-floor. Stunning stuff! 

The second remix comes from none other than British sound maestro Ben Macklin, who besides is well known persona is a true master of the craft. He drops a stunning remix of ‘Moving Right'; a modern beach house jam with all the right elements. The bouncy bass and great synth arrangements create a sexy, provocative atmosphere while Dana's voice make words settle in truly magical fashion, creating a warm felt atmosphere that creates special memories every time you listen to it.

French sound genius Juloboy, famed for his body moving beats and immense production skills, delivers a remix that dives into more calm territory with lots of euphoric vibes and a beautiful Spanish guitar that builds the main focal point of his stunning rework. The luscious use of the vocals, bass stabs and driving drums make for an irresistible rhythm while the clever chords round off these fantastic interpretations.

Last but not least we have Media Blackout favourite Rafael Lambert who's remix focuses on the melodic side, by cleverly chopping the beats and vocal for the opening part oft he track to create a moody and emotional vibe, which in combination with some swinging drums half way thru establishes so much positive energy that it takes you right to any happening beach house club at sunset in the world, emphasizing the vast musical spectrum this release has on offer.

‘Moving Right' sees a worldwide release on April 11th, 2016 via all well-known digital content retailers. For more information please visit www.media-blackout.com
