In Focus: Nujabes280222

Isao Side B

Formed in 1987 while the members were attending university in Toyko, Fishmans have had a long, unpredictable trip through the music industry, and have technically never offically retired the band, despite the tragic passing of their vocalist Shinji Sato in 1999. 

Drummer Kin-Ichi Motegi keeps the spirit of Fishmans - and their legacy of seminal, inventive psychedelic rock and dream pop - alive.

In Focus - Fishmans

Tracklist and full article here: http://www.factmag.com/2014/10/13/fact-mix-465-madteo/

Madteo does things his own way.

After growing up in Italy, the producer born Matteo Ruzzon moved to the States as a teenager – first to Texas, where he was kicked out for shoplifting on his 18th birthday, then to New York in ’94.

As he told FACT in a recent interview, although he’d spent ’90-’92 “pretty dazed and confused” in the Italian after-party scene, it’s New York where he developed most as a DJ and producer, eventually releasing his own music on labels like Morphine and Lanquid (though Discogs tells us he also contributed to this 1999 album as part of the Wave Workers Foundation).

Although his unique take on house, techno and hip-hop has now been picked up on labels like Joy Orbison’s Hingefinger, for us Madteo’s crowning achievement (well, beyond his cheekbones) is Noi No, his 2012 album for Finland’s Sähkö that mangled and inverted everything from morbid organ riffs to Drake. Writing in FACT, Steve Shaw claimed that “to take Noi No all in at once requires the listener to pay attention closely, and committing to this is quite exhausting – not in the least because it feels like an unsolvable puzzle each step of the way. However, for someone who has toiled away at his interests for years, never changing to please others, this should be taken as a compliment.”

Ahead of a show at London clubnight Way Back Here this Friday, Madteo’s FACT mix feels in some ways an extension of Noi No: tracks frequently sound filtered beyond recognition, or like they’ve been smothered under a pillow and re-recorded (and the tracklist below doesn’t give too much away). At two hours long, it’s like opening doors between a series of dreams, and there’s no climax here: you can enter or exit at any point.

SWINGER SOUNDS 2009

International Tribe is a weekly mix series hosted by Thris Tian.

This week’s International Tribe mix comes from Lil Mofo.

Coming from Japan’s capital city Tokyo, Lil Mofo is a truly hard-working DJ. Playing up to three or four gigs a week, the Japanese artist has one of the most eclectic tastes in music, ranging from hard slamming techno to smooth melodic roots reggae and slow jams. She says it's her aim as a DJ to help overworked people “feel better in this super-stressed society”.

With her taste ranging from intense electronics, jungle, hardcore and more, for her International Tribe mix, the unique artist explores the slower vibes of her curations, with roots, soul and balearic selects.
