"Phantom" is the first single from the upcoming debut cassette from 1797071, Tokyo-based witchhouse producer and singer Mako (better known as the guitarist of the experimental post-punk outfit Ms.Machine). Slow, pulsing beat with sharp synths carry Mako's ethereal vocals into the hazy mix, channelling both Cocteau Twins and Ritualz. Definitely looking forward to hear the rest of the tape soon! The EP "D1$4PP34R1NG" will be out on Septemeber 2nd via Discipline Production (who released that rad Dead Bitch tape last year). You can preorder cassettes here.
In The Sun is a Tokyo-based duo of Naoki Takano aka TIDEPOOL and Kenta Suzuki aka TEST, here joined by Kim Pueru on saxophone. Released by Discipline Production, label responsible for the Dead Bitch EP, "Metaphor" is their first physical album that unravels itself at the intersection of deconstructed club, dark jazz and gorge (japanese niche genre inspired by rock climbing). It has the polished, cinematic charm of modern sci-fi compositions and at the same time is firmly grounded by its DIY underground roots. Fans of Cemetery, Alex Zhang Hungtai and CRAVE should dig this one.
DEAD BITCH is an experimental electronic producer from Tokyo, Japan, who just released her first tape via new underground imprint Discipline Production. The EP consists of four original tracks that shred genre boundaries to pieces, summoning elements of deconstructed techno, rhythmic noise, dark ambient and even Gvcci Hvcci-flavoured witch-house. On top of that we get two evil remixes and co-signs from Golpe Mortal and Cemetery, both expanding the brutal and bleak vibe of the release. It may be a challenging listen for the faint-hearted, but "Self-vandalism" is a rewarding and eclectic project that serves as a great introduction to DEAD BITCH and the Discipline collective.
