From the soul-fulfilling first crush felt upon hearing the iconic soundtrack of ‘Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto onto our release of Inner Science ‘Cosmo Tracks’, through the life-affirming sets of Laurent Garnier at Dijon’s seminal club, l’An-fer, which have at all times nurtured and expanded our taste for Easternmost delicacies, the influence of Japanese music on our vision and endeavours was paramount to the development of our catalogue, whether directly or indirectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis first volume gets the ball rolling with a fine assortment of mostly ambient, electronica and deep house-focussed joints. Draped in organic membranes and ASMR-like synth tapestries, K. Inoue’s nu-agey opener ‘Em Paz’ takes us on a ride across the most serene dreamscapes. Jazzing up these lush and oneiric coastal vibes, Gabby \u0026amp; Lopez ‘Drive form the Miracle’ merges a sense of Californian psychedelia with a straight out hard-bop swing. No stranger to our catalogue, Inner Science returns to serve up a crystalline slice of laid-back house on a mystique-imbued tip he holds the secret to. Flip it over and here comes Aquarium with the splendidly immersive ‘Rainy Night in Shibuya’, which very much feels like wandering amidst its neon-upholstered streets and swarming hallways in a bubble of your own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNaohito Uchiyama treats us to a synth-drenched nocturnal ballad with the ‘80s-inflected vibes of ’Shugetsu’, whereas Keta Ra cuts a path of ethereal sublimation via the mischievously fun and bouncy balearic lounge of ‘equals’. Masterly crafted by Yuu Udagawa, ‘Infinite Possibility’ eases us in a realm where weightless pop and low-slung abstract hip-hop combine to further exhilarating effect. All in harp-driven brittleness and velveteen sub-bass stealth, Noah ‘Gemini - Mysterious Lot’ has us drifting to a lavishly orchestrated headspace, laying down an impressive work on textures and arrangements. All in on the sedated drip-tease flex, Sauce81 ’Sign of Secret Love’ is a blast of freaky hedonism, just as ready to cast its hypnotic spell down the sweatbox as it was upon its original release ten years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLanguid jacking house tune ’Tai+Dai’ from Keita Sano blows the winds of discoid luvin’ across the room with its impeccable balance of sharp, glimmering synthwork and driving bass onslaughts from the depths. An odd slice of reshuffled folk music, Waltz ‘Folkesta’ makes for some eerie invitation of sorts, enchanting and spookily haunting in equal measure. Back to a fevered, hip-swaying mindset, Kuniyuki hi-NRG jazz number ‘Free’ is an absolute wonder of piano and drums-driven boogie, cut from the same cloth as some of Blue Note’s finest Cuban jazz classics. Rounding off the package, Japanese legend Ken Ishii’s version of Larry Heard’s house Hall-of-Famer ‘Can You Feel It’ is pure bliss in a can, tailored to turn any crowd into a shapeless cloud of balmy euphoria and universal love, whatever the place or time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 Seiji Ono ‘ Celebrate Your Life\u003cbr\u003eA2 Uyama Hiroto ‘Compass’\u003cbr\u003eA3 J.A.K.A.M ‘Pray’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 Yuu Udagawa ‘We Float’\u003cbr\u003eB2 Jazztronik ‘ Neon Forest’ (vinyl only)\u003cbr\u003eB3 BRISA ‘State of Mind’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC1 Ryoma Takemasa ‘Deepn’ (The Backwoods remix)\u003cbr\u003eRemix: The Backwoods (DJ Kent of Force Of Nature)\u003cbr\u003eC2 The Backwoods ‘Cloud Nine’\u003cbr\u003eWritten \u0026amp; Produced by The Backwoods\u003cbr\u003eGuitar : LOADRUNNER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD1 909 State ‘RaTaTaTam’ (Hiroshi Watanabe Instrumental remix)\u003cbr\u003eD2 Tomi Chair ‘Remorse’ (Satoshi Fumi Mix)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmocities Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42549671329948,"sku":"CMSR011","price":32.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/CMSR011.jpg?v=1688133350"},{"product_id":"dangerous-goods-special-love","title":"Dangerous Goods - Special Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl, Picture Sleeve\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: ITTY02\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 18 Aug 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 - Special Love\u003cbr\u003eB1 – Breakout\u003cbr\u003eB2 – Theme\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSpecial Love is a future classic – bringing back thudding '90s flute house, paired with shuffling snare patter, swung hats and a killer female vocal.

After years living with a visual impairment, his sight had deteriorated so much that he was declared “registered blind”. For a man who had spent decades dividing his time between travelling, DJing, running clubs and lengthy sessions in his own studio, it was a genuinely life-changing moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was against this backdrop, and the need to alter his working methods, that Ondas Horizontales, the second Tambores En Benirras album took shape. Inspired by a mixture of daydreaming, visualisation, immersion in other people’s music (escapism that provided mood enhancement, rather than a specific set of ideas) and long periods spent soaking up the sun in Ibiza, the album is the most vividly detailed, sonically colourful, and sun-soaked collection that Newby has released to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewby’s declining sight forced him to stop spending long spells staring at a screen and undoubtedly slowed down the production process. Yet it also allowed him to reconnect with his emotions, appreciate the storytelling and mood-shifting potential of music, and mine mind’s eye memories of places and spaces that have meant much to him over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe results are undeniably stunning. Designed with horizontal listening in mind, the set distils a range of musical and real-life inspirations –or, as he puts it, “ambient soundtracks, cosmic journeys, Balearic rhythms and poolside sessions” – into ten mesmerising and magical tracks; an undulating, slow-motion journey that’s as breath-taking as it is beguiling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewby sets the tone with ‘Mi Sueno Vibe En Reverb’, a swelling, slow-burn ambient masterpiece that tiptoes between hope and melancholia, before flitting between imaginary sunset soundtracks (‘Estrellas En Mastella’, where lilting pedal steel sounds, bubbling electronics and shuffling breakbeats catch the ear), kaleidoscopic sun-up beats (the gorgeous warmth of ‘Generadora De Reyos’), enveloping beatless soundscapes (‘Templos Del Sol’, a drowsy drift in becalmed waters under the heat of the mid-afternoon sun), and dubby, loved-up lusciousness (‘Mokono’).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the album progresses, bobbing and weaving on an ocean of vibrant chords, pulsing melodies and heart-stopping melodies, there’s no sign of Newby’s inspiration waving. ‘Alma Hablando’ channels the spirit of mid-80s ‘worldbeat’ and douses it in layers of Balearic bliss, while ‘Extrensor Entragado’ recalls the head-nodding haziness of his best Gripper productions of old while combining them with the musical equivalent of a humid summer breeze. Then there’s the mood-enhancing joy of the album’s superb title track –a mission statement of sorts – and the life-affirming post trip-hop\/Balearic fusion of ‘Un Placer Celestial (Reprise)’, where the influence of his old friend Aim is clearly evident.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA serious sonic step-up from its predecessor and a future Balearic classic in its’ own right, Ondas Horizontales marks the start of a new musical and personal journey for its creator. It is, in his words, not the end of an era, but the start of a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NuNorthern Soul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42620014788764,"sku":"NUNS060V","price":26.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/li1_663d900e-3b5a-4d9f-9aaf-20a88f44123c.jpg?v=1692271729"},{"product_id":"unknown-artist-i-love-u-funky","title":"Unknown Artist - I Love U \/ Funky","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: GSA02\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 29 Aug 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Edits, Afro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 - I Love U\u003cbr\u003eB1 – Funky\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGeographic Sound Archaeology go deep digging for the second release on the label.
