Marking the kickoff of his Summer Japan tour, Sweatson Klank brings the heat with two fresh new tracks reinterpreted by a handful of Japan’s brightest producers. The digital release comes out as a T-shirt designed by Sapporo artist Tsubasa Hamaguchi, and ships worldwide August 6th.

Tokyo-based RLP adds a touch of swing and swagger to “Take my Time,” while Osaka’s Ryuei Kotoge realizes the tracks full emotional potential, augmenting the original’s heavy subs with noise and breaks. Meanwhile, Sauce 81 and Fujimoto Tetsuro’s signature cool and loose grooves compliment Klank’s “I’m Saying, Wake Up.” Additional remixes by Notuv and Kawakami Kohei are available for free. 

The artists involved in the project give a glimpse into Japan’s thriving and increasingly internationally-minded art community. Sapporo artists met with Tokyo and Osaka musicians tethered to Los Angeles. Special thanks go to Sapporo design shop Patanica, the Cosmopolyphonic crew in Tokyo, and Day Tripper Records/INNIT collective in Osaka.

Free the Robots' newest EP, Two Snakes, comes out May 20th on Osaka imprint Perfect Touch.
Accompanying the original three songs are remixes by Japanese producers Starro, Ramza and Ryuei Kotoge.

With this newest batch of tunes, the Los Angeles based producer explores the aural spaces between psychedelic, soul, and hip hop. Opening track, "The Truth," perhaps the most emotive of the three, riffs on a lo-fi vocoder melody, set against melancholic chords and a subtle shuffling beat. The remaining two tracks cater to fans of hip hop and funk respectively. 

The EP is packaged as a special limited T-shirt with digital download through the Perfect Touch store, and is also distributed digitally through all good digital music retailers. 
Artwork provided by Tel Aviv based tattoo artist Doron with silk screen printing by Sweatshop Union in Osaka.

Format: Digital Single
Label: Perfect Touch PT006
Private stream:
Private download: MP3 or WAV
Tracklist
1. UMA: Roam
2. UMA: Roam (Magical Mistakes Remix)
3. UMA: Roam (Madegg Remix)
RIYL: Portishead, Cocteau Twins, Nicolas Jaar, Arca
UMA is a producer-couple from Berlin that cuts crystal clear post-trip-hop tracks from a wide array of avant-garde influences. With one hand on the midi-controller and the other one on the forehead, they combine post-internet romanticism with fractal beat cascades - but they never lose touch with all the fragile borders that define the perfect pop song.

Osaka label Perfect Touch is proud to release UMA's single ROAM accompanied by remixes from Japan-based producers Magical Mistakes and Madegg. Magical Mistakes adds analog synth lines alongside orchestral swells and shuffled drums, while Madegg takes the track for an experimental ambient psych-trip.
PAST PRESS:
“[...] a lovely experimental pop piece that's enchanting and unusual.” (The 405)

“UMA tend to create a brave mixture of gloomy electronic darkness, with trip-hop elements and an undeniable but reluctant groove. Perfect music for the night, no matter if it’s the big city or a dark forest.” (NBHAP)

Artist: Julien Mier 
Title: Changing Currents
Year: 2015 
Label: Perfect Touch 

Tracklisting 
1. It’s Slightly Open
2. Yesterday’s Downpour
3. I Refuse To Remain Silent
4. Caught In The Chest
5. Burnt Up
6. Burnt Up (Yosi Horikawa remix)
7. Caught In The Chest (Magical Mistakes Remix)

Living in the Dutch countryside, Julien Mier spent the last several years crafting heavily melodic and carefully textured pieces that engage the listener both cognitively and emotionally. His newest EP, Changing Currents, is a culmination of his exploration of natural sounds, and ultimately serves as a final farewell to the cabin he was living in directly up to the point of this works’ completion. 

Each piece on the release serves the whole, with opening track “It’s Slightly Open” providing the introductory sounds and pacing before moving to the melodic second track “Yesterday’s Downpour.” Meditative guitar piece “Caught in the Chest” is the anchor holding everything together thematically. Slow, brooding and beautiful, the piece finds its success in its minimalistic, stripped-down approach. 

In the increasingly maximalist world of electronic music, Changing Currents confidently espouses the value of minimalism, reducing each instrument to its most rewarding timbres, and comfortably discarding the expected tropes of the genre. Every melody hints at a range of emotions all the while avoiding the awkwardness of the melodramatic. 

It’s a testament to Mier’s refinement and poise as an electronic musician. He is using the medium for something very personal, both in the places he explores and the musical techniques he uses to explore them.

Julien Mier : Yesterday's Downpour [PREMIERE]

We are a small group that puts on tours and events in Japan. We also release music from our friends. We are cool.
