computer virtuoso TANAKA HIDEYUKI seem to have
found the perfect formula for fresh avantguarde
sounds that leave you asking “how the
f*ck did he do this” without ever becoming
to top-heavy or academic: he knows how to move
but. take “sign expression” centered
around a earthy, stoic bassdrum bringing structure
to the turmoil of voice cut-ups, swirling sounds
and filtered snares. “3vs4? is nthe most
experimental production on here: disolving the
4/4 structure into a swaggering, skanking offbeat,
adding flickering organ chords that give the
tune an atmosphere like the soundtrack to a
modern film noir. “wicked loop in life”
is on a lighter note yet starts out with the
strange combination of deep chords with tongue-in-cheek
comic voices before a distorted bassline kicks
in an turns it into one of the most oddball
dancefloor rockers. label head DAPAYK boils
it down to a minimal beat ode with great percussive
sample use. definitely a special treat for more
discerning minimal floors!! |
