Follow Hoshina Anniversary - https://soundcloud.com/hoshina

In prehistoric Japanese folklore “Amanojaku” is the name given to a demon-like creature. This creature is usually depicted as a kind of small troll-like demon (known as an “oni”) who was thought to be able to provoke a person's darkest desires, instigating them into perpetrating wicked deeds. A “twisted person”. Sometimes used to describe a being with an extremely contrary nature, someone that if ordered something, would do the opposite. This might be a strange introduction but might be the best way to set a discussion about our friend Hoshina Anniversary and his new introspective album “Leave Behind” from where the tracks “Amanojaku (天邪鬼)” and “Landscape (風景)” are lifted. Not that we would ever think of Hoshina as a small troll demon, but to say he is an artist not unaccustomed to doing the opposite of what is expected, then a fitting description indeed. 
“Leave Behind” is an electronic album created mostly using non-electronic instruments, featuring Hoshina’s vocals and socially noncompliant lyrical styling. Inspired by Steely Dan and Weather Report, “Amanojaku (天邪鬼)” is a song described in Hoshina’s own words “created with a rather strange chord progression”. A song he says is about the crisis in social networking, which is no doubt a location where one finds many a “twisted person”. Quote the lyrics: “If you tell me Yes, Then I’ll tell you No. It’s a boring communication. Desire for recognition. You are always right. I’m always wrong”. Words spoken by someone who if ordered to do something, would not be unlikely to do the opposite. But what other choice would you make when finding yourself tied into knots by the endless scroll of social activity. Regardless, “Amanojaku (天邪鬼)” is a total vibe of a tune.

On the opposite end, “Landscape (風景)” is a song described by Hoshina as “About death, and when I wrote about death in relation to the landscape, I felt a sense of selflessness”. It’s a tune that wouldn't find itself out of place on an album by synth maestro’s AIR and which contains as much gravity as I think the French legends ever did. Quote the lyrics: “I thought I was obsessed with so many things. I feel myself becoming numb. Our own joys and sorrows seem to have nothing to do with the landscape that is spread out here.” A beautiful sentiment and fitting taste of what’s to come on “Leave Behind”.

Hoshina Anniversary - Landscape (風景)

In Japanese folklore predating written text, “Amanojaku” is the name given to a demon-like creature usually who was thought to be able to provoke a person's darkest desires, instigating them into perpetrating wicked deeds. Also described as a “twisted person” or a being with an extremely contrary nature - someone that if ordered something, would do the opposite. As a way of description this may not be an obvious choice when referring Hoshina Anniversary and his latest release, an introspective album titled “Leave Behind”, but as an artist accustomed to doing the opposite of what is expected, we would argue it be a fitting introduction for an artist consistent for the magnitude and variety of musical output beyond the last decade.

Opening track “What Can We Leave Behind In This World (この世界に何を残せるか)” sets the tone for what is to come. Interlacing layers of detuned keys falling endlessly into the void - a muted twist on the work of synth maestro’s AIR.  Like much of the album, a leap of faith. There are elements of deconstruction and awareness throughout. “Essence (本質)” reporting from the front-lines of personal reflection “Self-will is born from a terrible lack. That's what my experience has told me” echoes around drum tones. But there are lo-fidelity flourishes wherever you look, on “Toukai (東海)”, “Asia” “Obsession (Kyouhaku Kannen 強迫観念)”, “Rine (輪廻)” and “Teinen (諦念)”  clank along like the best of 2017 without ever trying to be as mired in coolness. It's a liberating look at Lo-Fi House.

“Landscape (風景)” is a song described by Hoshina as “About death, and when I wrote about death in relation to the landscape, I felt a sense of selflessness”. Quote the lyrics: “I thought I was obsessed with so many things. I feel myself becoming numb. Our own joys and sorrows seem to have nothing to do with the landscape that is spread out here.” Again the theme of leaving one’s history behind to discover the new self.

Inspired by Steely Dan and Weather Report, “Amanojaku (天邪鬼)” is a song described in Hoshina’s own words “created with a rather strange chord progression”. A song he says is about the crisis in social networking, which is no doubt a location where one finds many a “twisted person”. Quote the lyrics: “If you tell me Yes, Then I’ll tell you No. It's a boring communication. Desire for recognition. You are always right. I’m always wrong”. Words spoken by someone who if ordered to do something, would not be unlikely to do the opposite. But what other choice would you make when finding yourself tied into knots by the endless scroll of social activity. Much like a "twisted person". 

Coming back to the theme of Life & Death (opposites or just different sides of the same coin?), and what is beyond, Hoshina has said if he were to die tomorrow he’d be happy he created this collection of songs, so it’s fitting “Leave Behind” ends with “Alone In A”. In a year we lost the great Japanese musical icon Ryuchi Sakamoto, this tune comes as a soothing balm to your humble narrator. It’s a song I could imagine the great man himself nodding along to. It also generated from a place Hoshina could only get to after abandoning almost all of the Japanese instruments and Watechno elements present in his work over the last 5 years. We resonated with this overall feeling ourselves, having changed what we are as a record label/event/concept over the last 5 years. Not often looking back. But like most things in this mortal coil, we must be prepared to leave behind the things we do and are, moving always towards the new. Sometimes in the most opposite of places.

Goodbye

- Hey Anton, what's up?
Grey, rainy, sunday with family.

- How did you record the podcast/which mood/story behind it?
If you know, we opened RANDOMART STORE in Prague with my wife 2 years ago: Vinyl is my direction in the store and Anna presents clothes which she creates.

So, all tracks on podcast from vinyl records which we have in our stock.

- What's your musical background?
Ohh, lot of music from different age and genre.

- What about your tools of production, analog or digital?
if we talks about djing I'm using vinyl format, but when we concern music production I'm using analog and digital technology.

- How do you come up with such various genres in your releases? How do you choose your artists?
First of all it's kind of magic moment : i listen the sound, first and after  i'm reading the name, but of course i know lot of good artists already and i'm trying to follow them all.

- Who are the DJs or producers that inspire you?
I have few essential standards in various genres, who became classic : Sergei Rachmaninoff, Erik Satie, Brian Eno, Wolfgang Voigt, Mathew Herbert, Mathew Jonson, Cab Drivers, Ricardo Villalobos, Moritz Von Oswald, Jeff Mills...

- Where are you from and where have you lived? How is the scene around your place ?
Originaly i'm from Moscow. How i said before, we opened the RANDOMART STORE in Prague, so i am quiet often in this city. I know very nice local artist and dj's, who try to make musical life more interesting. How told me my friends, long time was a recession in underground scene in Prague , but last year things went smoothly and nightlife bubbled again.

- Any other things cooking you would like to tell us about?
I'm finished my ambient album, also in first part of next year you will see few vinyl Ep's from me and also i'll start write music for russian modern video opera...

- What drives you/is important to you beyond music?
Music, family and friends - this three important thing  for me.
Books, movies and good vine are good also ! 

- Anything else to say to the world?
PEACE&LOVE!

Alleys Of Your Mind

Banlieue Records starts the year 2017 with the release of "Blasphema Eternal", the imprint’s sixth record, which will in fact be the only VA release of the year as the label will focus on artist EPs. It features five very different cuts that somehow fit perfectly together under Banlieue’s common thread : a timeless feel, tracks that are full of detail but often understated, a breath of fresh air ready to lift up bodies and minds on the dancefloor and anywhere else. First comes a club-ready dubbed out track by some fave of us ; french duo Nummer, then a rather ambient tune reminiscent of IDM’s finest moments by Michigan’s own D’Marc Cantu. On the flipside, a machine funk track of an electro persuasion by label boss Benoit B, followed by uptempo dancefloor abstraction by Mir and some lo-fi jackbeat deepness courtesy of Wulffius featuring lyrics in French by Jack Tezam. Out 13/01/2017

石化浅瀬（from 幻想区域EP)

Space Songs EP (FT053) out in APRIL on FT 

https://futuretimes.bandcamp.com/album/space-songs-ep

Jordan GCZ from deep! GCZ takes us way out and back again with Space Songs, his new EP for Future Times. This is techno for the techno people, conjuring all manner of classic styles from Red Planet, Source, and Spacetime Continuum, through improvisation and jazz to dig a tunnel into the gel of the cosmos. 

FT has recently been blessed with GCZ’s music via his collaboration with DC’s Dreamcast for 2019’s FIGS Compilation, and Jordan’s previous 12” (FT023) with us was a work of techno art that opened up doors in its wideview of techno, incorporating lush guitars and insect fuzz to club music.

GCZ’s tracks have a life to them that doesn’t happen in a lot of tracky techno; it’s very much of a human place that he constantly touches with his machines solo, or as part of the legendary Juju & Jordash. These 5 space songs are hypnotizing and operate on an axis of lockstep rhythm and dramatic exits through the sunroof. 

Opener “Funky Sock”s trip thru noise and static heads straight to a 313 funk bubble, live drum machine play on point.  “Half Time” burrows and burrows but gives way to bells and bliss. “Catbird Seat” is DJ heat, as Jordan combines a very Chicago stomp with synth lines repeated into hallucination. “Prodigi” recalls classics of techno past with straight up anthemic bass and pure synth rubber that he whips around the track, and “Bah Bah” is the jazziest thing there is, hitting a one-lightbulb house burn into luscious vocals and finale.

Future Times could not be more pleased to share this trip with the world. Tip!

Label: Banoffee Pies Records
Catalogue Number: BP012
Title: Slip
Artist: Tristan Arp
Genre: Techno / Broken Beat
Release: 24/04/20

Tracklist:
A1Swept Thru
A2 Oblique House
B1 Slip
B2 Circling Music

Banoffee Pies Records drop their 12th release in the original series with a solo EP from New York based Tristan Arp. With a string of intricate music on the likes of Human Pitch and a recent LP entitled “Suggested Forms”, which offers a wider exploration into his work, Tristan’s passion for sound design echoes in this record. 

All four tracks offer an environment somewhere between a feeling and a dance floor with obscure influences in polyrhythmic drum patterns and a clear combination of digital and analogue processing.  “Swept Thru” opens proceedings with a spiral of rhythms and heavy percussion leaping in energy throughout, before the spooked out Vox takes control on “Oblique House” with deeper movements in a haunted club tune. The B side opens with the title track “Slip” in a powerful whirlwind arrangement of sub bending sounds before the final colour is added to the palette in “Circling Music'' with emotive jingles in a more retained and patient mood.  

You can hear Tristan's other work within the Asa Tone project - a trio group well worth the trip, offering a deep variety of works exploring field recordings taken and formulated in Indonesia beneath a tree canopy deep in the jungle. This same energy and mood spills into this release. Music for feeling. Much love BP x

Although rhythmic and dance floor worthy, this track’s primary form takes on the immersion of a Transcendental Meditation. With a driving mantra present throughout, it works through different pockets of your mind; surfacing, making sense of and setting free buried thoughts, while always returning to the propulsive sedation of this motif.

Since debuting modestly in 2014 under the alias Kaboko, Lazy Pluto has juggled a diverse array of inspirations, including early-’80s funk and electro, art rock, raw and classicist house, and Dubstep, while putting a fresh spin on the forms to decayed, disorienting effect.

“Ambient music is something that can be used as a tool, I’ll often use ambient music for meditative purposes, you can create such an interesting emotional sensation with this genre, it’s beautiful and relatively unexplored.”
