This is the last EP in a series of remixes/reworks from Chari Chari’s new album “We hear the last decades dreaming” which was the first album in 18 years under the name of Chari Chari, a project by Kaoru Inoue who has been working as a DJ and producer for over 25 years.
The EP includes a deep remix by Bartosz Kruczyński, also known as Earth Trax, who has released two excellent ambient/new age albums on the Germany’s Growing Bin, and a remix from Knopha, a new generation artist & DJ from Chinese underground who has been getting a lot of attention. It also features a rework by Yoshiharu Takeda, whose self-produced album “Aspiration” has been quietly gaining attention, and a DJ-friendly 100bpm jam by Kaoru Inoue himself.

Kaoru Inoueによる自主レーベル ”Seeds And Ground” の復活作品となった、Chari Chari名義としては18年ぶりとなるアルバム “We hear the last decades dreaming” からのリミックス・シリーズ最後となる、そして2組の海外勢を含む第3弾。
Earth Trax名義でのレイヴィーなブレイクビーツ・トラックが話題を呼ぶポーランドの俊英＝Bartosz Kruczyński（本名名義でもドイツのGrowing Binより秀逸なアンビエント/ニュー・エイジ・アルバム2枚をリリースしている）によるディープなリミックスや、日本でも水面下で大きな反響を得ており、2枚のアナログEPが即完売となっていた中国の新世代アーティスト/DJ＝Knophaによるリミックスなど、それぞれのスキルが遺憾無く発揮されたトラックを始め、自主制作アルバム「Aspiration」が静かな話題を呼び、Disk Unionからのヴァイナル化を果たしたYoshiharu Takedaによる陽光煌めくようなリワーク、そしてKaoru Inoue本人によるDJユースフルな100bpm jamなど、充実のEP作品。
