Taken from SBKT046: Rilla - Yugeki / 遊撃 EP

Cover Design: Tianyi
Mastering: Raphael Valensi
Release Date: 21st January 2022

For our first release of 2022 we are excited to welcome Fukuoka born, Kyoto based producer RILLA to the SVBKVLT roster with ‘Yugeki / 遊撃’, the first in a series of EPs for the label.

Featuring 5 thunderous original tracks, and packaged with equally fierce remixes from Howie Lee, Osheyack and Hyph11E, the title ‘Yugeki’ translates to ‘attacking the enemy or assisting allies as the opportunity arises’, a ‘search-and-destroy mission’ or a military action without a predetermined target. Tianyi’s artwork encompasses this concept perfectly with a cloaked combatant, bow drawn, prepared for action.

Rilla

Rilla has been active in the Japanese music scene for almost 25 years, starting as a DJ in Tokyo in 1997 and a buyer for Cisco Records since 2002. His event ‘Almadella’ with Keihin and Yusaku Shigeyasu presented and toured artists such as Shackleton, Peverelist, Scuba, Goth-Trad and Karafuto aka Fumiya Tanaka, with Rilla himself playing over 50 events a year. Since 2012 he has been based in Kyoto, and in 2020 released his first EP ‘SFTM002’ on Torei’s ‘Set Fire To Me’ label. His SVBKVLT debut ‘Yugeki / 遊撃’ sees Rilla expand outside of Japan for the first time, with a second EP set for release later in 2022

Yugeki / 遊撃 EP

Rilla - Isn's (Osheyack Remix)

Deliquescent spheres orbiting in a void of golden shimmer
Opening one transfers you to a field of untouched lantanas and amaranths
Watching them makes you dream of a sun rising to its zenith
Tonight there was a fire, which burned like the last remaining stars

First single from Wax (GEN049) out on May 22 on Genot Centre on tape & digital.

On Wax (GEN049), https://soundcloud.com/klahrk & https://soundcloud.com/kavarimusic pair up to present a basket of hammering, blasting club tracks with a focus on radical digital sound manipulations. The duo presents a sound design show-off consisting of raspy stretch algorithm artifacts, vocoded pulses and slimy granular flurries. Rhythmically, high impact overdriven kicks and syncopated motifs give the tracks a high energy urgency and momentum. Simmering, crusty chopped up break beats accompany stroboscopic pads, glistening metallic percussion and sweeping electro-acoustic gestures. Maneuvering naturally between almost snapping, bursting, fragmenting passages, effervescent glistening chords sometimes emerge, ready to get whacked by mangled, contorted drum machine outbursts.

When I aim at the sun
Eyes that never blink
When there's nowhere to run
Hair smothered in ink
A choked escape, forever home
Faith in fainted memories
But at last,
We Meet In Reverie

Ewer ~ Love Streaming

I'd rather be in love
And tell you all my dreams
You'd wake up next to me
And all is gold

Your mouth is a gun
It keeps me safe, it harms
The chamber's loaded up
And I kiss you anyway

Pull the trigger
It's only when you cum
You say

"You are my love, mistress"

As I fall and crumble let your words go down with me
Couldn't it be simple calling out for what you need
I'll wait for you baby but the nights get lonely
Got to make sure that you work hard for this honey.

Lamp DX - somebody pls tell em (LI$031)

Uma ode à infância, ao Vale das Flores e ao consumo descontrolado de música, que origina de uma mescla infinita de ideias e géneros, roubando elementos de todas as fases de um gosto musical desnorteado, desde o pop mainstream e funk brega, aos grandes clássicos da soul e do minimal. Sem género, como se propõe.

[ALN024] “Tinto Verano” foi produzido durante o verão de 2022 e traz-nos um gosto nostálgico dos anos 90 e 2000. DJ 420@ôa começa este EP com uma faixa trancey melódica que nos transporta para Ibiza. “Verano Jam” é assim a primeira faixa deste EP onde o artista utiliza um sample do hit “Summer Jam” . Na segunda música, “Nelly Trunfado”, cria um Eurodance emotivo. A terceira faixa do disco é a “Need For Bass”, um trance inspirado em bass e jungle e nas perseguições de alta velocidade do “Need For Speed” . O EP acaba com “Late afternoon drink” num registo mais techno-trance. O disco conta ainda com remixes de Ecstasya, Phaser, VTF e Bleid. “Need For Bass” foi remisturada por Ecstasya que trouxe Hyper Pop e Hard Techno, e por VTF que traz a energia do Jersey Club e breaks. Phaser fez um remix electro-techno da “Nelly Trunfado” e Bleid deu à “Late Afternoon Drink” um batimento de techno.
