For their third release SAISEI present a reissue of highly respected Japanese producer Suzukiski’s 1993 debut album Thought LP.

The full 12 tracks from the original release will be released on vinyl for the first time - with the majority of tracks exclusively re-edited for vinyl extended play.

Takahiro Suzuki is hugely prolific within Japanese electronic music culture yet has remained under the radar despite releasing over 9 albums between 1993 and 2006. Thought was his debut long player and is a perfect example of his minimal and poised approach to production. Across the 12 tracks he shows off his aptitude for creating delicate yet effective house and techno, referencing the Detroit sound that was eminanating and revolutionaising electronic music at the time. For sleeve notes of the release Suzukiski lent this quote, speaking of the Detroit influence “These artists created these simple and minimal tracks that were so beautiful and gave me joy, yet I’d never seen their faces before.”

Based on a solid groove and created on the limited hardware setups which were key to the time of its creation, the album carries all the charm of minimal all hardware made music. The result is a timeless collection of tracks that show a serious commitment to refined sound with a joyous and carefree uplifting feeling.

SAISEI - run by London based, Japan born DJ Junki Inoue continues to unearth and present vital and special recordings from the 90s era of Japanese electronic music production. In this case Thought was first self released by the artist as a private CD that was literally delivered hand to hand or by post until it was licensed by Soup Disk licenced the music in 2003 and received a wider CD release with some export outside of Japan.

The double pack vinyl package is accompanied by two sets of liner notes by Rei Harakami and Soup Disk label owner Masaaki Hara written for Soup Disk’s 2003 reissue with a English translations and will be released in October 2021.

[SAIS003] Suzukiski - Thought LP

Artist: Seekers (Picone, Piermattei and Salvadori)
Track: Eleven
Title: Integrated Consciousness
Label: Seekers @seekershome

Seekers return in full force with a 4-part vinyl set (plus a 90 minutes tape cassette). About a month ago the label announced the compilation on the sly with single album Integrated Consciousness. No label artwork, neither any artist name, keeping to its underground values of letting the music do the talking. The release reminds us of the label's classic Flirting with Melancholy LP which came with the heartfelt 'Love Intensified By Absence' as a cute 7-inch hidden inside the bigger sleeve. For this new release we've picked ‘Eleven’, a live recording written by Picone, Piermattei and Salvadori, from a special live set that took place out at sea. You can hear the vibe in the rolling broken beats and bassline. While on the A-side it's UK techno veteran and R&S mainstay Paul Weston with a new pseudonym, L74. 

According to the label, the compilation was inspired conceptually by Corrado Malanga’s Flash Dynamic Triade Color Test. While Integrated Consciousness comes as a transparent vinyl (more incognito styling here), the rest of the records are coloured.

A1. Living In The Room

Artist: Papolious Jones
Title: Volume Two
Label: Top Rhythm Boppers
Cat No: TRBO002
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. We’re The OGs (Original Ghosts)
A2. Papolino’s Journey Into Hyperconscience
B1. Ancestral Love
B2. Let’s Start Again, Shall We?

Mr Jones is back from a trip down memory lane, digging in deep to bring you musical funk for the mind, body and soul. Picking up from where we left off, we take it a step further into more ambiguous, emotionally complex territory. After all, these have been trying times, haven’t they?

We begin with the hauntingly familiar melody of ghostly lovers who meet through generations in “We’re The OGs (Original Ghosts)”, and then we traverse to “Papolino’s Journey Into Hyperconscience” - the italo soundtrack for the end of the world. For the flip side, we live a tale of separation turned into soul-inspired electronics in “Ancestral Love”, and we end with “Let’s Start Again, Shall We?” - a groovy synth conversation that swings into introspection.

TRBO’s sophomore release adds another chapter to an unfolding story of inspiration through nostalgia. We will meet again in the future.
With love to you all,
B

Last part of the Korghettini Electronics series!

Pancratio serves up the 2nd hotly anticipated part of his Korghettini Electronics project on One Trip To Avyon. Pancratio: In the early 2000s, Korg invented, engineered and distributed four little instruments called Electribes. A drum machine, one analog modeling synthesizer, a sampler and a music workstation respectively called ER1, EA1, ES1 and EM1. Initially I always found it very difficult to use them in my studio, because they weren’t really fitting with the sound and the workflow. Between march and may 2020, I stopped worrying about trying to force the Electribes into the setup: i just put them together and started jamming, recording several tracks without using anything else apart from these little boxes and their own effects… eventually sampling a few things along the way with my headphones into the ES1. The title, as well as the aesthetic of the project, are inspired by a future-retro approach to early electronics and 70s Italian product advertisement.

PAYPHONE - UNICORN SYSTEM - Blkmarket Music 
[Blkmusic 009 - 10TH RELEASE]

The 10th release on BLKMARKET MUSIC features Payphone, with ‘Unicorn System.’ From the founders of Toronto’s Payphone Studios and members of the Hypnotic Mindscapes crew and record label, the Payphone trio make their label debut with 4 hardware-heavy tracks. This elusive 3-member live-act take a functional yet improvisational approach, influenced by years of chasing the wonk during late-night jam sessions.”

Kicking-off the EP is the retro futurism of ‘Don E = Dark O’ - a melancholic, chiaroscuro-esque house-meets-techno track harking back to a bygone era of rave. The A2 ‘Fool Circle’ shifts gears into the afterhours with an infectious, metallic groove. On the flip, aquatic-deep techno cut ‘Sea Sex Librarian’ dubs things out with trippy vocals and a booming round baseline. Rounding out the EP, ‘Get Outta 84’ conjures cinematic dystopia with deep electro-infused breaks.
