For Crack Mix 400, we're celebrating clubs and nightlife culture across the world with a series of archive mixes. This was selected by Contact, in Tokyo.

Ena demonstrates his mastery at crafting tension, steeping the mix in brooding, and menacing, electronics that rarely lets up for a release. A chilling and exhilarating listen.

Lemna - Horo Vision Podcast 10 - Live in Tokyo

Field Records is back with another special album project, this time from Japanese producer ENA aka Yu Asaeda. Bridge is an introspective soundtrack for a documentary of the same title — out this Spring — concerning the Dejima bridge, a reconstructed symbol of the Dutch-Japanese trading history in Nagasaki, Japan. 

The album finds the producer stepping outside of his usual remit of dark ambient and experimental music, and instead comprises ten shorter tracks that touch on abstract and rhythmic sounds that define the essence of Japanese culture. Although he has worked with the director before, this is ENA’s first OST and finds him freely inspired by the movie and heading in exciting and unknown directions. 

Hugely atmospheric throughout, there is hypnotic repetition of sounds, strange audio design and a mixture of melancholic moods with more dreamy synths. Sometimes gloopy rhythms gently ripple beneath soothing harmonies and at others times a micro-rhythm appears through the constantly shifting and evolving found sound loops. It’s a compelling and unusual album that seamlessly mixes human emotions with a mechanical sense of industry.
