The next 12″ that Forest Jams proudly presents is the official re-issue of Nathalie Letertre’s ‘Rêveur’. The lush beauty of this French electronic synth-pop single was recorded in 1986 at R.B.O. Studios of which Titan Records was a connected label. Although the vinyl recording eluded many DJ’s and collectors of today, Nathalie and ‘Rêveur’ did enjoy local success at the time of its release. The popularity of ‘Rêveur’ upon its 1986 arrival could have been attributed to it’s airing on the “Free Radios” of post-1981 France and Nathalie’s several appearances on the regional ‘FR3’ TV Station and at the forest-encircled, emblematic ‘Châlet’ nightclub (1962-2010) in Strasbourg. This re-issue includes the original and instrumental versions transferred from the original tape as well as two fresh edits from the likes of @flemming & @spaziale .

"Originally released on the lauded Green Energy label from experimental maverick Henry Kawahara, Forest Jams is thrilled to present the official re-issue of Nami Hotatsu’s sophomore album – revised and re-christened “Ultra Hyper Cosmic Voice” by the artist herself. Equal parts beguiling and inviting, Nami’s mixture of vocals and driving propulsive beats still sound as fresh and as captivating as when they were originally released in 1994. Now, thirty years later, we invite you to discover Nami's "perfect world of being" in its totality - awakening yourself to the unknown world inside through what lauded producer Haruomi Hosono hailed as a "shamanistic" vision!" - Hsu Jui-Ting

J’Voudrais Qu’Tu M’Dises marks another official 12″ French re-issue from the Forest Jams label. Like the previous ‘Nathalie Letertre’ record we have a name on the front of the jacket but with little information behind it. What we do know is that Kelly Lane’s vocals sit atop this obscure synth-pop meets house meets slight boogie with a smooth aggression, equally cute as it is equally strong, funky indeed. For those that just want the music there’s an instrumental version on the B-side. Two extra versions taken from the CD are re-mastered and included on this release with a surprisingly dancey ‘radio’ version and a pumping/housier ‘version dance remix’. Let Kelly Lane’s “J’Voudrais Qu’Tu M’Dises” find its way to your heart.

"Beautiful musical journey starting with Chinese airlines, to get to Beijing and enjoy an afternoon in the Forbidden City, then moving to Japan, landing in Tokyo and come to an after hour, in a private club in the top floor of a skyscraper, dance with beautiful girls, go out to the club, to the closure, and with them, and fly for arrive in time to enjoy a beautiful sunset on a beach in Bali, after resting, fly to Bangkok to make shopping in the neighborhood of little Italy...then...wake up and realize it was only a dream, a beautiful dream with this great EP, thanks for the journey Mori Ra" - Leo Mas

Chris of the Starving Daughters band and blog and of the RENDEZVOUS! crew has strung together some of his favorite pieces from some of his favorite records from his awe-inspiring collection to form an anticipatory treat before the release of Strange Valleys, Starving Daughters 3rd full-length.  Like a lot of library records and the albums that came after that were influenced by them,  the sounds & styles here in the mix could certainly be tied to some of those in the Strange Valleys LP but overall the collage of records really just serves as an awesome warm-up to a very unique & special record.

Expositions is a one-man (Reuben Vaun Smith) band that’s been slowly gaining force as a wave ready to hit every Balearic beach and beyond. Yellow Haze hits the Forest Jams label with four complete burners of tunes, so hot you can smell the sun-block melting away. Smith along with the mysterious “Hannah” lay down some serious laid back vibes with their vocals that fit the backing of “Get With You” just perfectly. Rollerskaters is an instrumental that has us up off the beach and onto the boardwalk for a freestyle rollerskating dance session. Sun Shine Down has Smith back on vocals and the title speaks for itself. Walk along the water of the Pacific has the sun is going down to this one for full effect. Holding On closes out what you’d wish to be an endless summer. Look out for more from the man soon!
