hamatsuki, der für seine früheren veröffentlichungen auf fantastic planet und mind controller rectifier bekannt ist, erforscht auf dieser dreiteiligen reise die tiefen der musik. mit einer mischung aus anhaltenden lo-fi-pads, ätherischen gated-echo-vocals und betörenden, trippigen acid-lines schwingt in dieser ep eine nostalgische rave-essenz mit.
georgian producer hamatsuki appeared on gasp last year with the uncertain loops cassette release, but makes his vinyl debut on this damn fine 12- for the recently minted sensu label. -remember- is a rich, undulating swirl of deep house laden with melancholic pads, while -rett- sports a sunnier tone for its own arsenal of soft, rounded synth tones. dj sports comes on board for a remix of -rett- that plays with said synths and creates springy, computer jazz melodic threads out of them. -inexplainable inner sadness- completes the set with another trip into warm, chicago-indebted house tones for the introspective dancer.
banoffee pies records continue their musical exploration with their latest sub label output otaku. as the title suggests, otaku provides the banoffee crew the opportunity to focus on another area of expression. “music for home” will be the focus and tagline for this imprint which will showcase a range of expertly composed live drum elements while travelling through the spectrum of leftfield electronic music.
