Hoshina Anniversary - Guru Guru [MUSAR017]

a1. Guru Guru
a2. Banri
b1. Kaga
b2. Usagi

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.

Stefan Vincent - Pre Melancholy [MUSAR018]

a1. Mono No Aware
a2. Agent of Distraction
b1. Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F
b2. Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F (Priori Remix)

Melancholy, the feeling, is often associated with darkness and deep depression. For Dutch artist Stefan Vincent, within the experience of melancholy there’s beauty to be found. “Decay and loneliness can serve a purpose. Depression can teach you things. To feel deep sadness also means the ability to feel profound emotions.” he says.

For his debut on MUSAR Recordings, “Pre Melancholy” EP, Vincent channels these notions of Melancholy into three tracks that draw on darker moods but also reflect beauty in their intricacy and the atmospheres they create. This EP acts as a precursor to his forthcoming album on MUSAR, “Post Melancholy” which is due next year.

“Mono No Aware” and “Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F” are both taken from the LP, placed side by side with “Agent of Distraction”, an exclusive track from Vincent for this EP only. We’re also pleased to have Montreal-based musician Priori on the remix of “Yonghegong...”. His rework draws further emotion from that of Vincent’s by slowing the pace and bringing delicate melodies to the forefront; it’s one for introspection.

Stefan Vincent - Post Melancholy [MUSAR019]

A1. Eyes Unclouded
A2. Another Skin To Wear
A3. Poise
A4. Arpeggino
B1. You Know This Isn't Going To End Well
B2. Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F
B3. Anhedonic
B4. 8AM On The Train To Work You Ask Me To Send You Something That Makes Me Happy (For Maarten)

For Dutch artist Stefan Vincent, the feeling of melancholy also offers the opportunity for beauty to be found. “Decay and loneliness can serve a purpose. Depression can teach you things. To feel deep sadness also means the ability to feel profound emotions.” he says. With this in mind, his debut album on MUSAR Recordings, “Post-Melancholy”, unpacks the twists and turns of grappling with this emotion, drawing from breaks, electro and IDM to make his most intricate work to date, after previous releases on Token, Dynamic Reflection, Symbolism, and Non-Series.

Throughout “Post-Melancholy” Vincent traces the wave of melancholy and how it moves through the body, which allows for lighter moments alongside darker moods. Perhaps the lightest track on the album is its acidic-breaks opener, “Eyes Unclouded”, with its soaring acid lines and dazzling synths, which acts as a false pretense for the rest of the album. Tracks like “Poise”, “Arpeggino” and the meditative “Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F” also break up the intensity. However, nestled between the more pacey, bass-weighted tracks on the album, these lighter openings still feel like tear-jerkers.

The more common associations of melancholy show up on tracks like “Another Skin To Wear” and “You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well”, which all create a more ominous feel via IDM and the polyrhythmic structures of drum’n’bass. Particularly on “Another Skin To Wear”, which borrows its name from a Radiohead lyric, the track's swooping motion feels realistic to melancholy’s chaotic and often unpredictable path. But, like all great storytellers, Vincent leaves the most poignant moment of the album for last with the rolling “8AM on the Train… (For Maarten)” devoted to his dear friend, Maarten, who sadly passed away at the young age of 36.

This LP is dedicated to Maarten de Vries (1986-2022)

PREMIERE: Stefan Vincent - Arpeggino [MUSAR Recordings]

Dutch artist Stefan Vincent returns to Amsterdam-based imprint MUSAR Recordings to conclude the melancholic journey he began with the 'Pre' edition last June. This release tells an honest, raw story of embracing solemn moods and the positive, transformative impact they can have on life.

The track ‘You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well’ begins with a sense of curiosity, drawing us into its intriguing atmosphere. Melancholy underpins the whole release, and that’s the same for this track, imparting an ominous tone, yet tempered by a subtle, whimsical touch in the melody. This melody is juxtaposed against the dynamic contrast of drum and bass patterns and IDM foundations, creating this captivating interplay, full of class.

As the track progresses, it becomes increasingly hypnotic, with a steady rhythm that drives forward with subtle persistence. Like travelling down an endless street, the destination seems unclear—until suddenly, everything falls into place. One thing is certain: this journey ends well.

You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well the rest of the ‘Post Melancholy’ release will be available to buy on vinyl and digital on September 20th.

On the B side, we dive deeper into Wiltshire's intricate melodic world. 
‘Traversing’ unfolds with enveloping, pastoral harmonic patterns, balancing surging intensity with an organic flow. Finally, the EP closes with the cinematic ‘Rush Point 9’, a late-night noir groove that offers a perfect, reflective finale to this sonic journey.

Aggelos Baltas is a veteran of the global electronic music scene, responsible for a handful of celebrated EBM 12”s as Dream Weapons, and a particularly heady and open-ended brand of krautrock as Fantastikoi Hxoi.

With distinguished releases on Beats In Space, Subject To Restrictions Discs, Byrd Out, Qreclaim, Sound Metaphors, Invisible Inc, Emotional Response, to name a few, Aggelos earned widespread acclaim both locally and internationally for his daring fusion of diverse musical styles and influences.

This led him to hold the position of resident DJ at the pivotal venue Astron in his hometown and to play around Europe, where his eclectic sets leave a lasting impression.

Ricardo Tobar - Knitting [MUSAR021]

A1. Los Siblings
A2. Knitting (Pye Corner Audio Remix)
B1. Knitting
B2. Knitting (Nightwave Remix)

Ricardo Tobar returns to MUSAR with 'Knitting' - a four-track EP blending dancefloor intimacy with raw, analog spirit. A two original cuts from the Chilean producer are joined by standout remixes from synth sorcerer Pye Corner Audio and cosmic rave queen Nightwave.

On the flip, 'Knitting' unravels from a simple arpeggio into lysergic ‘’Stereolab’' - techno chaos-alive, imperfect, and deeply personal. “It sounds like it wants to eat itself,” Tobar reflects. Layers on layers of psychedelia and cosmic melody turn this into a trippy journey track like no one else does.

Architect of foggy club rituals, Pye Corner Audio transforms 'Knitting' into an eerie, trance-tinged club weapon, while Nightwave turns 'Knitting' into a high-gloss, dreamy club stormer.

On the flip, 'Knitting' unravels from a simple arpeggio into lysergic ‘’Stereolab’' - techno chaos-alive, imperfect, and deeply personal. “It sounds like it wants to eat itself,” Tobar reflects. Layers on layers of psychedelia and cosmic melody turn this into a trippy journey track like no one else does.

Architect of foggy club rituals, Pye Corner Audio transforms 'Knitting' into an eerie, trance-tinged club weapon, while Nightwave turns 'Knitting' into a high-gloss, dreamy club stormer.

‘Navidi’ finds Tobar at his offbeat best, a genuinely progressive and psychedelic rolling house number that blossoms into something surprisingly epic while utilising only weirdo textures, askew basslines and otherworldly samples.

'Home' see the musical talents of D. underpinning the cursive vocals and hardware slurs of Proper.  The result is a frenetically charged, trippy pop-house track.
