World Canvas is proud to present a debut release ‘Clouded Vision’ by Helsinki-based producer Softie (Ossi Kolehmainen). Over the course of the past years Softie has been recognised by his explosive, percussion-heavy dj-sets and original productions, recently additionally as a part of the conceptual event organising collective Post Human Dance.
On his debut release Softie presents four songs which encapsulate the ideas of desolate and lush soundscapes & precise percussive and layered rhythms. The piece forming from this aesthetic interaction carries a sense of melancholy and shattering beauty. ‘Clouded Vision’ embodies the suspension of Kolehmainen’s previous works' worlds in the fields of explorative ambient and multifaceted dance music, as well as the elegance of these worlds coming together as a whole.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Ossi Kolehmainen

Leaving [2017]

Toiret Status is Isamu Yorichika from Yamaguchi, Japan. His new work Otohime is his first vinyl record and his second album on Orange Milk following ◎omaru◎ in 2016. Otohime includes collaborations with Co La, and Yoshitaka Hikawa. He has also released music on the labels Noumenal Loom, Plus 100 Records, Pedicure Records, Wasabi Tapes, and Slagwerk.

Isamu began making music as a drummer for noise and hardcore bands which led to his first solo recordings in 2015. As Toiret Status he has said that he wants to create work resembling the idea of food going through digestion, excretion, and then flushing. This cycle is like the regurgitation of sounds sampled from his daily life: movies, video games, and field recordings. The sources are digested and then flushed back out as a different color.

I watched a Toiret Status performance in Fukuoka Japan in a shrine on top of a sumo ring. The show promoters were serving Japanese BBQ (Yakiniku / Yakitori) with a distinct common Japanese BBQ sauce and Heinz yellow mustard, and it was possibly some of the best food I have ever had. While I was eating I watched Isamu aggressively move around the sumo rink using a nintendo controller as a midi device, triggering intense bursts of sound. The first two steps in his goal - consumption and digestion - were happening to me when I first met him. The dedication Japanese people often display in art was also apparent while watching his performance; it felt like a congealing of "Japanese-ness" with the sumo rink, shrine, food, joyful and absurd music all meshing together in a quick burst.


Isamu’s new Toiret Status record Otohime is named after a fairy tale queen (with magical powers?) who lives undersea and entertains travelers by giving out gifts like jewelry. In Japanese this title could be an apt pun for - sound queen. However, Isamu stated that the title is a wishful statement about how his music would be utilized in the future. When people flush a toilet, he hopes his music might play and become a funny reminder of the Japanese emphasis on politeness and social tact. He likes the idea of turning something awkward into something fun. Toiret Status uses romaji (English letters written in Japanese phonetics to describe a foreign or new idea that is not in the Japanese tradition) for his album title, to hint at a pun and imply the desired function of the music while simultaneously alluding to Japanese folklore - a queen who makes music.

An unmissable factor in renewing sounds, Paris based ɢʀɨɢ (@griigg) has brought a lot of amazing artists together and continues to do so. Next to his organisation skills he brings an extremely taste in music to the table. Either in producing, DJ'ing or curating there is no doubt that wherever he is involved it promises to be good. And nothing less counts for this mix he did for Valley Radio. We are extremely happy to publish this mind-blowing work and encourage you to make some time for it.
