“Midori” (green in Japanese) is the latest release from A_A, the electronic experimental live project of Satoshi Tomiie and Nao Gunji.

Following up the last release “Synesthesia”, A_A carries on the “abstract colour and sound” theme on “Midori”.
“Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway” (Wikipedia)
Abstract sound sketch in colour, green was prevalent (with the colours which make it) during this particular A_A session.

Earlier this month, the incomparable Satoshi Tomiie graced the decks at Canopy Bar for a recent Autobrennt showcase. As the sun began setting over Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline shimmered in the distance, Satoshi kicked off a stunning set--a divine selection of rooftop vibes that kept the crowds grooving until the very last minute. Fortunately, Satoshi was able to record his gem of a mix for those who were unable to attend the intimate gathering over Labor Day weekend. Clocking in at 90 minutes, the set is part one of a two-part, 3-hour mix. In the meantime, enjoy this aural vacation from beginning to end.

Part 1 of 2 - Satoshi Tomiie Podcast #04-1 Sep'13 - Live from Brooklyn

Radiant. The title of the 4th release from A_A contrasts with the EP’s delicate, sometimes opaque sonic landscape. Filtered-down kick, grainy lushness of pads, obscure noise, incoherent acapella, and bass that only exist below the frequency band of smartphone and laptop speakers, all contribute to the fiery stillness that drape over each of the 4 tracks included. While the new EP continue to be pinned by the duo’s signature leniency for noise and precise execution of sound design, it sets itself apart from the previous releases by successfully retaining the frail scent of uncontained, improvised performance while remaining firmly within the scope of floorcentric dance music.

#160 | Satoshi Tomiie (US)

We won’t bore you with hyperbole regarding the long and illustrious career of Satoshi Tomiie. By this time you should be well aquatinted with his stone wall classic “Tears” alongside house music god Frankie Knuckles and a string of certified weapon releases. As unquestionable this seminal slice of house music is, that was 30 years ago and Satoshi is most definitely not one to dine out on previous accomplishments. An ever evolving journey through his music means that the only direction is progressively forward. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-171-satoshi-tomiie-live/]

Mexico City has been one of my favorite cities in the world to play to their enthusiastic music people.

My last visit there was no exception, exchanging great energy between the floor and the DJ booth all night long. The crowd was amazing, I could ride to the different places musically throughout my set because of the people there at the night. I was spoiled!  
Here is a two hour recording of my set from the night to share the experience with you.
Enjoy it!

The influential No.19 Music marks its 10th year in 2018 with a raft of incredible music set to propel the imprint to its 100th release by year end. As part of this celebration the label are delighted to welcome pioneering house producer Satoshi Tomiie for a very special new EP that comes with a remix from the fantastic Dana Ruh. Japanese born Tomiie is best known for his enduring hit Tears with the late Frankie Knuckles, but since then has continued to produce and remix a wealth of essential tracks. Always imbuing his music with a real sense of musicality that stems from his background as a student of classical piano and jazz, he also runs his own Abstract Architecture label and has released on the likes of Kerri Chandlers Kaoz Theory and Holic in recent years. His hybrid DJ setup mixes traditional DJing with analogue modular synths and that innovative and impromptu style carries over to his recorded productions. First up here is the mighty Resonant, a nine-minute house track that is forceful and attention grabbing from the off: it has heavy kicks and rumbling dub chords rolling out to an infinite horizon, with razor sharp hi hats and resounding claps taking it into techno territory as filters add dynamism to the pads. Its a heavyweight roller to get the floor marching as one and is certain to do just that each time it's dropped. Then comes the immediately appealing Bassline, taking its title one suspects from the old school Chicago b-line which features as its main hook. As it rides up and down the scale, slick kicks and icy percussion flesh things out and vocal yelps break out every so often to add fuel to the fire. Its a timeless classic from the off. The package is closed out with a stunning remix from the hugely talented Dana Ruh. Ruh has built an enviable reputation over the past decade, recording for the likes of Cocoon, Ostgun Ton & Underground Quality as well as her own Brouqade label and touring the world consistently, with appearances at Tresor, Amnesia and Pacha. Here she flips Bassline into a punchy, kinetic house cut with swirling pads and muted chords that manage to be warm and driving at the same time, delivering a standout remix that is certain to make its mark in the months to come. This is a high impact and atmospheric EP that is designed to make dance floors take note.

I think this is my best set of 2012, at one of my favorite clubs in North America. Vibe of the crowd was just right and I was feeling it big time! Music was my KATANA like on this flyer, Kill Bill style ;)

New EP is OUT on my favorite label YoY (Yoyaku)!, this time I teamed up with my good friend and a DJ / modular synth master Rintaro and had great studio jams in Tokyo. No pre productions, we improvised with machines such as eurorack modular, drum machines and synths to create DJ tools with the vibes we are musically into.
