Comment: this is not the first appearance of Morristown, New Jersey, US-based artist Anitek at Recent Music Heroes. More profoundly, I have commented such issues as Sae Yeon, and Calm & Collect Vol. 1 though the artist has been truly prolific over the years. ShiHo is a massive delivery of 41 compositions where the artist demonstrates his ability to create for a listener's soul and body. Despite this tremendous load of tracks it makes you feel not tired and bored at all. It is an event on its own because Anitek can adeptly play with different genres being very close to such genres as jazz, hip-hop, chill out, and electronica. Electronica in that case does mean both club dance inflected rhythms and progressions in timbre and effects. In fact, Anitek showcases and develops and crosses subgenres of the aforementioned styles in a profound and crafty way. Ultimately it can be admitted the issue is worthy enough to be added to the rack of the best albums of 2016.
