▼About This Release
(EN)
Tokyo's DJ Sodeyama returns as The People In Fog this June, delivering his new album under the alias, '1977', first time in eight years via Sound Of Vast.

Yoshifumi Sodeyama better known to most as DJ Sodeyama has been a driving force in the Japanese underground electronic music scene for many years now, over the past decade and a half he's been releasing his techno material via the likes of Nina Kraviz's трип, Dynamic Reflection, his own Arpa Records and more. Here though Sodeyama shifts focus to his The People In Fog guise with his new album, the alias was started in 2013 and is a project based on house grooves and unique beats. After the debut album 'A Ray of Light' was released eight years ago, he delivered three EPs for Sound Of Vast established in Amsterdam, among which, the 'Higher' EP turned out to be a big hit.

Across the '1977' LP, named after the year Chicago's highly influential Warehouse was born, Sodeyama presents a range of styles in the field of House, from percussive-led, hypnotic offerings like opener 'South Jefferson' and 'Less Is More', the jazz-tinged aesthetic of 'No Boundaries' and more groove driven compositions like 'Come To Me feat. Monkey Timers' and 'Mr. Dub' which lay focus on swinging drums, snaking bass grooves and chanting vocals.

The final three tracks from the project also shine a light on some acid house influences with a recurring theme of squelchy 303 lines amidst ethereal pad textures, dynamic drums and infectious vocal hooks. Also on offer as digital bonus cuts are the low-slung acid workout 'Platz feat. YOSA' and the shuffled deep house sounds of 'Burnt feat. S.O.N'.

'1977' presents the accumulative knowledge and experience of a DJ career which reaches beyond 30 years and further showcases Sodeyama's passion towards music, all compiled into one long player.

東京を拠点に活動するDJ Sodeyamaの別名義The People In Fogによる8年ぶりのアルバム『1977』が〈Sound Of Vast〉より6月にリリース。

DJ Sodeyamaは、日本のアンダーグラウンド・エレクトロニックシーンを長年に渡り牽引してきた。ここ15年ほどは、Nina Kravizの〈трип〉や〈Dynamic Reflection〉、自身のレーベル〈Arpa Records〉などからテクノにフォーカスした作品のリリースを重ねてきたが、近年はハウス・グルーヴやユニークなビートが特徴的な彼の別名義The People In Fogに焦点を合わせ新作に取り組んだ。デビューアルバム『A Ray of Light』を8年前にリリースした後、アムステルダムにて設立されたレーベル〈Sound Of Vast〉から3枚のEPを発表、中でも'Higher EP'はスマッシュヒットを記録した。

新作の『1977』のタイトルは、多大な影響力を持つシカゴのクラブWarehouseが誕生した年を意味し、パーカッシヴで催眠的なオープニング'South Jefferson'と'Less Is More'で幕を開け、ジャズの美的要素が混在した'No Boundaries'、グルーヴが強調されたダンスフロア仕様の'Come To Me feat. Monkey Timers'、スウィングするドラムや蛇行するベースグルーヴ、そして歌声に重きを置いた'Mr. Dub'など、作品を通じて様々なスタイルのハウスミュージックを表現している。

最後の3曲は、繰り返す303のぎこちないラインや空気のようなパッドの質感、ダイナミックなドラム、クセになるようなヴォーカルフックなどアシッド・ハウスの影響が色濃く出ている。
さらに、デジタルボーナストラックとして、ロウが効いたアシッド・ワークアウト'Platz feat. YOSA'と、現場映えするディープ・ハウス'Burnt feat. S.O.N'の2曲を収録。

『1977』は、30年近くに及ぶDJキャリアで蓄積された知識と経験、そしてSodeyama自身の音楽への情熱が1つの長いプレーヤーにまとめられた作品となっている。

Out now on vinyl and digital - https://lnk.to/REKIDS118

Appearing on ’Kish Kash’, Basement Jaxx’s third studio album, the unforgettable single was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Dance Recordings category and also reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and number 2 on Hot Dance Club Play in the US. ‘Good Luck’ also featured as the opening theme of 2004 anime movie Appleseed, Victoria’s Secret fashion show in 2003 and 2005, and a version without lyrics was used for the opening sequence of BBC’s UEFA Euro 2004.

Real name Bülent Gürler, German producer Butch has been a formidable force within house and techno for over two decades, enchanting crowds from all across the globe with his technical performances. Highly regarded for producing compelling grooves, his releases have appeared on labels like Desolat, Cocoon, Rekids and Sei Es Drum, not to mention collaborating alongside Virginia, C. Vogt and Ricardo Villalobos (as Butric).

Receiving regular early support from Villalobos, Butch has provided three different renditions of ‘Good Luck’ and the ‘Remix’ is a rhythmic roller from the off, featuring numerous elements from the original whilst generating a cacophony of percussion as Kekaula’s iconic voice is chopped and looped – the result is high- octane and geared for the dancefloor. The ‘Dub’ strips things back, purely using segments of the vocal for instrumental purposes as a whirring bassline joins deep synths and mesmerising effects. Tying it all together, the ‘Drum Tool’ is a high-tempo percussive cut produced for peaktime DJ sets.
