Humid Sun 

Cloud Boat (ft. Brodie West, Ryan Driver, and Yamaan)

Hailing from Hiroshima, Meitei, unveils the final chapter of his transformative Kofū trilogy. “Kofū III” marks the apex of a musical journey that began in 2020, unraveling an introspective exploration of the artist's psyche while delving deep into the essence of Japanese culture. This latest release invites listeners into the innermost sanctums of Meitei's existence — a passage filled with serenity, self-discovery, and the triumphant conquest of personal demons.

Meitei's journey has been deeply intertwined with his surroundings. His move from bustling Kyoto to the tranquil rural town of Onomichi in Hiroshima wasn't just a change of location but a profound shift in his life. Navigating through the ebbs and flows of mental well-being, Meitei found solace in the quiet, low-key energy of Onomichi, where he began creating his distinctive brand of "ambient" music dedicated to resurrecting ‘lost Japanese moods’.

"Kofū III" is not just a collection of songs; it's a window into Meitei's mind, where he reflects on ‘the Japanese mental landscape,’ as experienced during the period of his return to his hometown. This album stands as a testament to Meitei's evolution, from his tentative inner quest to a state of deep healing.

"Kofū” and its precursor, "Kwaidan,” germinated in the solitude of Onomichi, embodying the mysterious, vanishing essence of Japan that Meitei unearthed in the shadows of his hometown. With "Kofū III," this exploration reaches its zenith, weaving musical landscapes that transcend temporal bounds. Each track vividly paints bygone eras and vignettes, all while drawing on the rich tapestry of Japanese literature and mindscapes.

Meitei introduces listeners to the tranquil Hiroshima countryside in 'Reimei,' while 'Hiroshima' reflects upon the city's transformation. It explores Meitei's intricate relationship with the city and contemplates the ever-changing visage of contemporary Japanese progress.

Within the sonic fabric of "Kofū III," "Shisei" brings listeners to Japan's past, when tattoos bore the name "Shisei." Fueled by Junichiro Tanizaki's "Shisei" narratives, the song paints a sensual tale of a tattooed man adorning a woman with a spider tattoo.

Meitei's authenticity shines through in "Kofū III," where complex emotions metamorphose into a kaleidoscopic fusion of lo-fi bliss. In "Yume-jūya," Meitei recounts a peculiar dream and the lingering anxiety it left behind. Also, inspired by the famous Japanese writer Soseki Natsume's "Yume-jūya," Meitei's interpretation offers his own perspective on this comical and bizarre tale.

"Edogawa Ranpo" stands as a mind-bending loop track that pays homage to the genius of the lesser-known Japanese author Edogawa Ranpo, a pioneer of the mysterious and bizarre. This experimental piece melds folklore, electronic rapture, and distortion, echoing Meitei's fascination with Ranpo's work since his elementary school days.

At the core of "Kofū III" lies "Heiwa," originally titled "1945," encapsulating Meitei's profound reflection on peace education in his hometown and the weighty significance of acknowledging historical tragedies. Its renaming as "Peace" symbolizes his personal odyssey towards understanding and reconciliation.

As Meitei concludes his Kofū trilogy, global listeners are invited to embark on this voyage to unearth the hidden treasures of Japanese culture and the depths of the human soul. "Kofū III" is a meditation on the intangible threads that bind us to our past - a portal to Japan's veiled history, capturing the essence of Japan's elusive spirit through the enigmatic landscapes of Meitei's inner terrains.

"Kofū III" is slated for release on December 1, 2023, in 180g LP, CD, and digital formats via KITCHEN. LABEL. Both LP and CD format are presented in a debossed sleeve with obi strip and include an accompanying 32-page booklet. This album is mastered by Chihei Hatakeyama in Tokyo, Japan.

よりUKテクノの新星Objektのまさかのデビュー・アルバム！

〈Young Turks〉よりデビュー、Radioheadのリミックスを手掛け、〈Hessle Audio〉、〈Bleep〉そして〈Leisure System〉といった気鋭のレーベルからリリース。インダストリアル以降のUKテクノにおいて異彩を放つ若手最注目株。デトロイト・エレクトロの“鋼鉄のフューチャリズム”をシンセサイズ、新たなるマシーン・フォルムを輝かせ未来へと疾走する、Aphex Twin『Syro』に続くニュースクールIDMエレクトロ！！ 

ポスト・ダブステップの到来と共に現れたUKテクノの新星Objekt。ハウスやソウルで明け暮れるシーンの逆とも言えるベクトルへと進み、アシッドを基調とした荒いブレイクビーツとシンセティックなグリッチ・サウンドはSurgeon、Aphex Twin、James Ruskin、ScubaといったUKの大御所からもプロップスを獲得、エレクトロニクスからダンス・ミュージックへと展開するベルリンの〈PAN〉と共鳴するように突如デビュー・アルバムを発表。ここ数年でデトロイト・エレクトロへと傾倒するフューチャリスティックなマシーン・ファンクは〈PAN〉特有のデジタルなサウンド・デザインを通過し解体されながらもオールドスクールなグルーヴを残しつつ、ブレイクビーツ / エレクトロ、テクノ / ハウス、アンビエントまで、新しいテキスチャと共にハイブリッドでパワフルなIDMエレクトロを展開。

▼ オブジェクト・ バイオグラフィー  

UKはロンドン出身、ベルリン在中のTJ Hertz (ティー・ジェー・ハーツ)ことObjekt。10代ではミュージシャンとして活動、Aphex TwintとIDMをきっかけに20代よりエレクトロニック・ジュージックへと転向しDJを始動。 00年代後期からトラックを作り始め、デビュー作となった〈Young Turks〉からのSBTRKTとのコラボ作とHardwax流通の自主レーベルの12”がたちまち話題となりRadioheadの前アルバム『The King Of Limbs』のリミックスへ抜擢。アシッド・ハウスを基調とした荒いブレイクビーツ / エレクトロのスタイルは色濃くなり、〈Hessle Audio〉、 〈Bleep〉ではCosmin TRGとのスプリットを発表、〈Leisure System〉からのスプリット12"ではGerald Donald によるデトロイトの元祖カルト・エレクトロ・ユニットDopplereffekとの新旧エレクトロ対決で更なる人気を博す。90年代のUKレイヴとIDM、そのモデルでもある80年代デトロイト・エレクトロやシカゴのアシッド・ハウスを継承し、現代のエレクトロに新たなる輝きを与えるUKテクノの若手筆頭注目株。

The Young Kirsty MacFarlane - Early Songs (from the album "Wind Wound")

Peter Strickmann is an artist performing, installing and manipulating sounding activity in public and domestic environments. While collaborating with various improvising musical groups or noise-makers and exhibiting in a variety of contexts, he generally observes the behaviour of sound and the habits of listening in diverse routine-settings or extra-ordinary circumstances.

"Mellow Toes comes as the second excerpt from my Schnarcharchiv (snoring-collection). This growing collection contains audio-recordings of sleeping humans, friends, and animals in all places and states of rest, sleep and nap, captured during night- and daytime since 2009. It all started during my daily afternoon-naps when I observed my own body getting hyper-sound-sensitive on its way to sleep. In these situations my chest, my arms, my toes turned out to become my biggest ears. It made me search for ways to share and reproduce these hallucinatory and enjoyable states of awake fatigue and airy interspace. Now, the two compositions on Mellow Toes are an attempt to do so. They contain parts of the snoring material that I collected during the last eight years, aswell as some sounds of my prepared objects instruments. The instruments noise may appear as the cheeping bird outdoors that pokes your sleepy mellow toe. All the snoring and sleeping rhythms here, they may help this bird to have a much stronger voice then commonly known." - Peter Strickmann
