Description: The 6th WIP release: 3 new tracks and 1 older one I first made for my livesets. Thanks for listening and take care, Wata.

WIP05 is composed of two tracks inspired by the unique and powerful feelings that come from playing outdoors. 

Tatacoa is a track I originally made for when I toured Columbia. One of the shows was at Tatacoa Desert, and instead of the dry heat I had expected, when I played it was heavy rain. But still the crowd pushed through by dancing hard. This track reminds me of that unique energy of everyone fighting together against the weather. 

NRO is a new track emerging from my Etched liveset video, which was recorded in the crisp air of Yatsugatake as the sun was falling. I played in front of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, and I made this arpeggio line to connect with the spacey vibe of the location and the beautiful nature surrounding it. 

This is the first WIP release for 2021. I’m looking forward to sharing more music with you throughout the year. 

Thanks for your support and take care, Wata

WIP05は、アウトドアでの体験や感覚にインスパイアされて作った２曲の新EPです。 

Tatacoaは、もともとコロンビアツアーのために作った曲。タタコア砂漠でのレイブイベントでは、想像していたような乾いた暑さではなく、今まで体験した事ないような激しい土砂降りでした。そんな過酷な状況でも、ハードに踊りまくって乗り切るオーディエンスが放つ、悪天候に負けない爆発的なエネルギーをリスペクトしていて、僕にとってこの曲はそのパワーへのリマインダーとなっています。 

NROは、太陽が沈む八ヶ岳の澄んだ空気の中で収録されたEtchedでのライブセット用に作ったアルペジオシーケンスを9分強のトラックにリメイクしました。会場となった野辺山宇宙電波観測所の宇宙的な雰囲気と、周囲の美しい自然とを結びつけるようなサウンドを目指しました。 

2021年の最初のWIPがリリースできて嬉しいです。今年も沢山の音楽を皆さんと共有できることを楽しみにしています。 

いつもサポートありがとうございます。 
体調等お気をつけください。

In 2022 I have finally been able to start travelling and playing outside Japan again. It has been incredibly positive being able to see friends old and new, and share my music with audiences around the world. Now I am happy to be able present my new WIP release, which includes two tracks I have been playing on my recent tours. I hope you enjoy these, and I am looking forward to more experiences together on the floor. Take care, Wata

02 Voyage

01 Roar

Release date (vinyl & digital): 14th of October 2022

TRACKLISTING:
A1. Tripartite
A2. Ascension Chain
B1. Bass Model
B2. The Burning Roundtable

INFO:
With a first appearance on Token through a remix for PTTRN’s ‘To Disapear Completely’, Mike Parker fully debuts on the imprint with ‘The Burning Round Table’ for 4 corrosive tracks of unforgiving power. Highly skilled in crafting cavernous ambiances and sharp tension, the American virtuoso offers a record emphasizing just that: imposing cuts to be selected with intention. 

Parker immediately introduces the EP with gravitas through boiling, acidic A1 ‘Tripartite’. This first track stomps its way through an aquatic ecosystem with the occasional stab to reaffirm the vast dimension of the track. Parker uses texturally abstract atmospheres that dive the alert listener into its mysterious environment. The kick pummels onto Parker’s next piece ‘Ascension Chain’, which carries its name well. A heavy low-end clears space for a mesmerizing stepped lead in this track that evokes a similar size as its predecessor’s. Quick hi hat sections hurry the track along into the other side of the record that meets the listener with a clear transition. Part 2 of the EP begins with ‘Bass Model’, where Parker flattens the dimension of his project with a strong, operatic bassline and rhythmic syncopation. Movement is now prioritized in a B side that sets a convincing balance between techno and Detroit electro through a highly effective use of minimal elements. Closed hi hats are uplifted through sections of rolling rides to keep the pace persistent and the track tunneling. Parker then guides us to the final pillar of ‘The Burning Round Table’ with his title track as B2, a logical continuation to the song before. A sustained and highly saturated bassline pushes through head bobbing percussion with a vintage sounding vocal sample to wrap up the artist’s sonic trip.

For WIP08, two tracks I have been playing on my recent tours.
 
I made ‘Tunnelling’ before a trip to Colombia. The idea for the track was simple and direct, something to create energy on the dancefloor. I have a clear memory of playing a demo version in Pereira and feeling it work. People just going wild and dancing hard, that is all this one is about.
 
‘Storm’ was inspired by the overwhelming power of nature, how it can be so strong and intense, but also beautiful and inspiring. That was the vibe I was trying to create with this track.
 
Thanks for your ongoing support of WIP. I really appreciate it.
 
Take care,
 
Wata
