Comment: by
listening to this 3-notch outing by a Japanese artist, Yuuki
Yamaguchi I thought about the possibility to write a review about a
house music release. In fact, how much house or drum and bass reviews
could you meet today. No, I am not supposed to think of it as an
example of boring music but its functionality might predominate over
its other qualities more or less deliberately. First of all, it is
the synonym of dance music and at a lesser extent, to create a
pleasant state of mind (one of the strengths of house music is to
build up sultry ambiances). Of course, there have been around many
artists whose purpose are being to undermine the aforementioned
intentions and outputs. First of all, I could remember for artists
under the legendary German imprint Thinner, and Akufen. The Japanese
artist's issue being released on Ceramic Records is a tight blend of
national motives (which frequently are warped into an appealingly
acidic form) and vibrant rhythms. By considering the titles of these
tracks (
Atmosphere,
Distortion,
to Nature) one
can perceive the artist's drive to move further from within the
borders of the aforementioned styles. One can hear the birds are
singing, slightly pulsating drones provide an alternative to the more
fragmented beats, smithereens-alike sounds used to pop out here and
there. To create house music seems not to be his ultimate goal but
exploiting it as a platform to reach new heights.
