Description
2022, 12″ EP, Clone.
Clearly, downtempo was a thing in Japan before it was ever a thing in Brighton – or wherever the hell Bonobo was given credit for inventing it – and it shows in this new repress of some of Takuya Matsumoto’s earliest works. Ha, you were fooled! This one’s actually new, but it’s simply made to appear like each crafty cut here was made between the years 1985-88. Infectious, FM-oody, and laden with pitched-down coke-crazed vocals, this one charts the earliest era of house and its sound, emulating it to a T, except without any 303. Gee! – Juno
