seekersInternational and juwanstockton return with "WARETA KOKORO NI KINTSUGI," a sequel to their acclaimed Kintsugi Soul Steppers. This release deepens the concept, drawing on the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pieces are rejoined with gold—here reflecting the album’s reconstruction of sounds from Regage, Lovers Rock R&B, and 80-90s Japanese Pop and TV drama.

"WARETA KOKORO NI KINTSUGI" is an immersive experience that blends atmospheric, vaporwave-like nostalgia with fragmented samples, giving each track a uniquely layered feel. Obscure yet striking, it weaves elements of dub/reggae and city pop into a cohesive yet abstract narrative, as though reconnecting memories across time. Through its cinematic approach, the album forges a distinctive world where past and future flow seamlessly, inviting listeners to engage with an evocative, otherworldly soundscape.

作品概要:
2024年のビッグ・リリースの1つ〈Riddim Chango〉からのseekersinternational & juwanstockton「Kintsugi Soul Steppers」の続編とも言えるスピンオフ的作品がMIXCDとしてリリース！

サンプリング〜カットアップ＆エディットで魅せる独創的ダブ表現、曲間がシームレスに繋がったミックステープ的感覚のアルバム構成など、SKRSの場合は作品とMIXの境目が曖昧だが、今作もオリジナル作品と肩を並べる傑作に仕上がっている。

アダルトに濡れたシルキーな80s Soul~Slow JamやLovers Rock、Screwedしたシティポップをカットアップ＆コラージュ・エディットしたサイケデリック・メロウなLO-FI異形ダブ〜トリッピー近未来ソウル・ワールド。そして、繋ぎ目を隠すのではなく目立たせる「金継ぎ」の役割を務めるのは80年代日本のトレンディドラマ？の日本語セリフ。これを多用しカットアップ＆曲間にコラージュしていくことで断片的な記憶／情景を繋ぎ合わせ、音楽と共に新たなストーリーに仕立てあげる様は、まさしく金継ぎによって新たな模様が加えられ唯一無二の特別な作品が生まれるがごとくであり、「Kintsugi Soul Steppers」にも見られた80年代、きらびやかなジャパン／トーキョーへのノスタルジックな眼差しなどvaporwave感は増幅されつつも不思議と”照れずに”聴けるのは彼らのベースにあるレゲエ／ダブ感覚とセンスの良さゆえだろうか。SKRS流に「われたこころにきんつぎ」を施すことによって、どこにもなかった過去（ありえなかった未来？）への幻想を掻き立てるSF的世界観をフレッシュに煌めかせていて、何度でもずっと聴いていたくなる。

_______VAI A CASA, SEI UBRIACO!
Bamboo Shows introduces today the first opus of its 'vai a casa, sei ubriaco!' cassette series focusing on sunitty, an Italian reinterpretation of Fourth World Music through the prism of the world wide web.

_______ BABAU - ALL THE GURLS WERE AT THE WOMEN'S ARCHO ASHINTO
“All The Gurls Were At The Women’s Archo Ashinto” is the new work by post-exoticist duo Babau, a project of Matteo Pennesi and Luigi Monteanni, both founders of Artetetra, a label and platform pursuing practice-based sound research on digital folklore and internet world music, which they term Quinto Mondo; a spin on Jon Hassel’s Fourth World. After releasing their own output on labels such as Discrepant, Communion and Artetetra and being selected as SHAPE+ alumni 2022/23, Babau is back on Bamboo Shows with a wild ride into the soundscapes of bootleg sound ethnography and floating world digi-exotica collages.

As part of the “Vai a casa, sei ubriaco!” series, Babau redraws the lines of stoner-impressionism and gonzo traveling through the rework of a radio show they produced for Psychic Radio. Born as a patchwork of imaginative sketches meshing YouTube audio manipulation with Babau’s signature live computer techniques, spirit box-like vocal excerpts and irregularly pulsing beats, “ATGWATWAA” explores the brain fog of transglobal exoticism offering a continuous, fake field recording where organologies and aural timbres conjure a floating world of sound flows and yet-to-come folk genres from yonder. If you’re here for a first-class ticket to mind trickery and surreally tender ‘cinema pour l’oreille’, no one does it better.

In particular, the title of the album comes from a shirt photographed by Babau in the streets which belongs to the phenomenon of SHANZAI clothing. Shanzhai (Chinese: 山寨; pinyin: shānzhài; Cantonese Jyutping: saan zaai) is a Chinese term literally meaning ‘mountain fortress’, the places where smugglers, rogues and thieves were imagined to reside, whose contemporary usage encompasses counterfeit, imitation, or parody products and events, as well as the subculture surrounding them. The term’s modern usage increased about 2008, when shanzhai smartphones achieved their peak domestic popularity.
Today, people associate the phrase with grassroots invention and ingenuity, rather than with deception or imitation. Similarly, Babau’s sonic vignettes talk of naive inconsistent societies and bootleg archipelagos, knock-off folk music and smuggled fragments of musics quilted into a feverish pseudo-regional repertoire. With “ATGWATWAA”, Babau coagulates its sonic weapons and tricks into a new narration leading the listeners to emerging landscapes and disappearing worlds made of magic pressurized air.
