In Japanese, the word “guru-guru” refers to the state of spinning, whirling.  This state is captured in the work of Japanese artist Hoshina Anniversary, who makes his third appearance on MUSAR with his EP Guru Guru and marks the return of the label after an extended break.

Hoshina’s self-titled brand of ‘watechno’ has appeared on well-loved dance music labels like ESP Institute, Volvox’s Jack Dept and Young Marco’s Safe Trip, alongside MUSAR where he also appeared as Shifting Gears back in 2022; an electronic-jazz-centered moniker.

His Guru Guru EP captures the latest snapshot of Hoshina’s sound and sees him draw from Japanese language as a through-line. The title track is the clearest representation of his ‘watechno’, where he uses Japanese instrumentation on top of a menacing EBM-style march. The track's slowly whirling momentum is the “guru-guru”.

On tracks like “Banri”, which means far away in Japanese, we see new shades to Hoshina’s work as he mixes a Japanese Wadaiko drum groove with acidic elements and piano melodies to make a track of contradictions which pairs roughness with elegance.
Whereas on “Usagi”, Japanese for rabbit, Hoshina fires up the BPM.
Piano melodies remain here but their effect is more drifting and emotive than on “Banri”.
“Kaga” is named after a place in the southernmost part of Ishikawa Prefecture, between Kanazawa City and Fukui City. On this track, Hoshina’s love for jazz comes through and even mirrors the work we heard from him under Shifting Gears.

Oblako Maranta, the tribal techno and weird disco duo formed by Russian producer Radial Gaze and Italian A-Tweed, are set to make their debut on the label with their EP, ‘Maranta Kicks’. The EP consists of three original tracks and a powerful percussive remix by German poet and musician Bryan Kessler.

The duo has already released several tracks in different compilations by Samo Records, Electric Shapes, Playground Records, Rotten City, and many more. With ‘Maranta Kicks’, the duo brings their wild drums, analog synths, odd magic samples, and deep “Maranta” kicks to their first EP.

The opener is “Mongol Triol”, a track with tribal trance-inducing percussion, and deep basses. The synth-artificial jungle takes you on an expedition, gradually revealing a mysterious lead created with a TB 303 while the ethereal voices resonate in the background and keeps the journey alive. The following cut, “Pumas”, is slow, somniferous, and powerful. Resonant and metallic synths play in the background, while the rhythm slowly gains strength to enter the machine's gears. The non-stop percussion adds to the overall effect.

Bryan Kessler's remix follows, a lively and energetic cut. Sharp sounds accelerate the pace, welcomed by a fat and solid bass, playful and resounding percussion, snare rolls, and sedative vocals. The EP closes with ‘Vega’s Glove’, a frenzied and wild track. Melting synths generate the atmosphere, while the drum and bassline take you on a journey through a tunnel of delirium and bottomless pit.

‘Maranta Kicks’ by Oblako Maranta will be available on May 19, 2023.

Asaya delivers his first EP, combining 3 garage house tracks with electro influences and 2 ghetto house tracks revisited in his own way.

This young DJ and producer living in Paris has been searching for himself musically for several years. Being animated by different spheres of electronic music, house, trap, but also drum n bass and dubstep, choosing a unique style has always been an exercise he could not accomplish. 
After having matured his projects, he offers us this diversified and colourful EP, which only announces the beginning of his universe that he wants to share with us.

PREMIERE : Asaya - Ghetto is The New Funk

Can You Jigit founding member Tomas Station has a different eye to most. His descriptive mixing style ensures that this Colombian says exactly what he wants to say through his music. An artist that has dived straight into the consciousness of the underground as a result of his residency for New York stalwart ReSolute, his own productions, the utterly outrageous Can You Jigit events, spotlight sets for some of the best sounding dancefloors in the world, wait, we’ve ran out of fingers. 

Here he flexes his undeniable Latin American lineage with wave after wave of off kilter gems that not just rattle the speakers vibrate the soul. With no irony whatsoever Tomas Station operates on a different plane with his track selection. Gritty house dovetails to Cumbia, while whipped minimal grooves are segued smoothly into ambient tones. There is a serious telling of a story afoot in this mix, that even goes for how the mix was even recorded. 

So, the story goes, not ones to miss an opportunity for a good party, while recording this mix at Why Not Club in Zanzibar they opened the club just for this occasion. What started as a completely empty club soon grew into an impromptu rave with people enjoying a magical unplanned moment. We have a funny feeling that their set at Sophie in Malaga will be full on vibes from the very beginning...
