Father Funk - The Beginning

For the first time ever, “Seedful Things” sees an official release two full decades after its conception. The 20th anniversary edition includes the original 13 tracks from the debut @hitori-tori album, along with four unreleased tracks written in the same time period. The CD version also features an exclusive hidden track unavailable on digital platforms.

The year was 2005 when Julian La Brooy finally decided to plant the seed of his newfound Hitori Tori project. Based in Japan at the time, he recorded a batch of promising demos onto a pack of CDs to ship out to record labels abroad. Nearly four years of studying the craft of balancing aggressive breakbeats with comforting melodies was compiled and ready to share with the world. After running into logistics issues at his local post office that prevented the CDs from traveling anywhere, La Brooy gifted the recorded demos to friends surrounding his artistic endeavors. Unbeknownst to him, the CD would eventually make it onto SoulSeek, an infamous peer-to-peer file sharing network where its community tends to influence the growth of rare and obscure music projects. Becoming a hit beneath the interweb, the album was eventually uploaded onto YouTube, gaining even more interest and becoming a cult classic within the niche of braindance enthusiasts. 

It is our utmost honor to finally give Hitori Tori’s debut album a proper home. Welcome to the 20th anniversary edition of “Seedful Things” - a celebration of experimental electronic music through the passage of time, only made possible by the virtual crate diggers that fuel it. Each track’s arrangement has been left as is, with the only enhancements coming from the improved mastering technology in our arsenal two decades later. The album centered around the development of drill ‘n’ bass, familiarized by the legendary sounds of Warp and Planet Mu in the 90s. The subgenre serves as sort of a neutral zone between braindance, drum ‘n’ bass, trip-hop, and electronica. As breakcore began making its digital footprint, the high stakes, high tempo movement was immediately met with La Brooy displaying a warmer, more playful interpretation.

“Seedful Things” is a vibrant ecosystem of distinct species coexisting. Each intersection seems as leftfield on its own as it feels tightly woven, merging influences from the internet and La Brooy’s environment into one. In tracks like “Yutaka,” he sampled one of his Japanese students playing with toy trains in class, only to end the track with field recordings of a nearby train stop. There are plenty of moments throughout the album that are purely inspired by La Brooy’s routine commutes around Japan, surrounded by strangers with birds meandering above. Occasionally, a few wrong turns would lead him on a side quest - “Walls Of Shibuya” was written after purchasing tea at an undiscovered shop that led to mild hallucinations. The project is riddled with relics of a distant yet familiar past, like in “Breakfux Of Champions.” Here, he used samples from a contest held by Nautilis, the now defunct project of a household name in electronica, to create a glitched-out blend between hip-hop and breakbeat. La Brooy is also unafraid to pick up the microphone in “Ishibashi vs. Tennoji” and “Why You Drinking Booze?” as he turns simple interludes into displays of conscious rap, only with unconscious lyrics meant to be taken unseriously. Aside from the many crossovers, there are tracks that have certain recognizable styles, such as “Keihan Line” and “Aonepsco” taking on breaky drum ‘n’ bass aesthetics. “Stole My Tet” and “Chioal” provide lovers of trip-hop a nice place to roost, just before the album chaotic unwinds into the final few tracks previously unheard.

Pieced together, “Seedful Things” is more than a showcase of what made the mid 2000s so incredibly special for computer music and its hoard - it is the hatching of a ravishing flock of seabirds preparing to take flight and spread its seed.

PRE-ORDER

Hitori Tori - Pyphen (2025 Remaster)

Riley Garrett was able to build this in a cave with a box of scraps

Lyrics:
Overwhelmed and underprepared, take whatever you please
Only sick when I remember how it impacted me 
Feeding on my straining body, and the pain that it’s in 
All the panic and the nausea, it doesn’t mean a thing

Nothing helps when you’re leaving, and nothing hurts when you’re there
Nothing helps, I’m so indifferent 
When Nothing hurts anywhere
Nothing helps when you’re leaving, and nothing hurts when you’re there
Nothing helps, I’m so indifferent 
When Nothing hurts

Let yourself become a parasite, with the greatest of ease 
Compromising everything near, like a spreading disease 
Feeding on your aching body, and the pain that it’s in
All the panic and the nausea, it doesn’t mean a thing 

Nothing helps when you’re leaving, and nothing hurts when you’re there
Nothing helps, I’m so indifferent 
When Nothing hurts anywhere
Nothing helps when you’re leaving, and nothing hurts when you’re there
Nothing helps, I’m so indifferent 
When Nothing hurts

So if you’re really such a psychic,
How many desperate thoughts do I get?
And I’m not always gonna like it
But that’s just the way I like it
Hurt me

Nothing helps when you’re leaving, and nothing hurts when you’re there
Nothing helps, I’m so indifferent 
When Nothing hurts anywhere
Nothing helps when you’re leaving, and nothing hurts when you’re there
Nothing helps, I’m so indifferent 
When Nothing hurts

I’m not always gonna like it
But that’s just the way I like it
I’m not always gonna like it
But that’s just the way I like it

Nothing Helps, Nothing Hurts

In this insightful episode of the Homes on Homes podcast, Mike Holmes teams up with Andy from HP Site Print and Peter from Building Point to explore how site printing technology is changing the face of construction across Canada.

From Toronto to Vancouver, and from Calgary to Montreal, builders are beginning to see how automation can revolutionize the way projects are executed — improving precision, efficiency, and safety on the job site.
By automating layout work, site printing minimizes human error and drastically reduces setup time.

Born in Strasbourg, France, and currently based in Vancouver, DJ Marc Tattoo has played at numerous events across Western Europe, from private parties to major raves, and is now in demand in the United States and in Canada.

Tattoo’s style depends on the crowd he plays for, but is always positive and upbeat. He prefers happy and tribal House, Hi NRG, Trance and Progressive to hardcore Techno.

Dj-ing for Marc was never works, but always a pleasure and a passion. He delights in sharing his passion for dance music with people, using the turntables as a medium to help people to forget their troubles, to share a vibe of happiness and deliverance: “If at the end of a set I know that I did bring a little of this passion to someone, that I made him feel good for a while, and he lets me know, it is the best way to thank me and it makes me feel good too!”

During those past years DJ Marc Tattoo has slowly build up his reputation in North America, and his name is synonymous of quality and sunshine over the dance floors. 

Added to that in past 2010 he did set up a new high at LATEXTACY BALL 2010 (Montreal Fetish Weekend) making Montreal fall under his hypnotic spell! … and has played as DJ head liner for the 2011 Barcelona’s Gay Pride Closing Ball on Plaza De Espana in front of more than 65,000 Party goers coming from all over Europe and MTV’s live cameras.

More recently he has played as headliner at Paris (France) Famous Club LE GIBUS for their SCREAM PARTY: the biggest and most attended Gay Party in France for which many International renowned Deejays have been booked such as, previously, David Guetta, Offer Nissim, Tony Moran and many more.

His Rave Heritage mixed with his Euro Influence and the Drums Beats of the Canadian West has created something that only those in the Northwest know about so far - but which will be a sound and style that is going to send the Circuit Parties into a new Orbit over the next months.

Marc will probably be in the future synonymous with today’s circuit favourites DJ, and will bring his own personal European touch to the Circuit Parties sounds.
