Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Radiq

a new undefined release! we are ever so proud that our fourth ep is made by radiq.

the third ep of the trilogy works following the releases d6&d7 from sundance in 2012 and flying one hand from op.disc in 2015 comes this one. a) side is the unreleased dub version of the previously released same titled track. b) side is the fine interweave of radiqs percussion + fumiyas base/beat groove with soul vocals. the sound is different from the style of dirtriix works and the each has its distinctive own groove.

a new year brings with it a new anoma. our third aural artifact is crafted by multi-faceted artisan radiq and features the vivacious vocals of do mi. the japanese artists composition hovers in the ether between jazz and electronic music and is coaxed through the scales in radiant fashion by miss mi. the groove and sonic elation of side a s used world propel the listener to a luscious cloud where you float on the voice to a destination unknown. follow-up track sugar roads is a saucy adventure down a brazen path that twists and turns with rhythm and a touch of vulnerable desire. etched onto the b-side is a drum-heavy statement enveloped in rich phonic elements and bolstered by a spectacular keys performance. raza bounces headstrong into an effervescent dome of glee, guided by the whisper of spoken words. laucolos colourful splash -verts- is the leaf-like mural that shrouds the 12inch vinyl treat.

japan: the land of the rising sun and one of the worlds biggest havens for creative, forward-thinking musical freedom. masters of a infinite number of stripped down, funk infused brands of electronic music, the japanese crews of music makers are usually teams of noble perfectionists. consistently shining a bright guiding light on the japanese scene, radiq (aka yoshihiro hanno) remains one of japans best exports and the reflection of what it means to be a true musician while managing his own japan-talent-only imprint op.disc with wit and will.

few labels could claim to share the creative purpose and pool of talent that cosmo records does. operating out of casablanca, morocco, the imprint has made its purpose clear to fuse experimental house and techno with traditional african musicianship in a cultural dialogue that spans generations and continents in search of thrilling new musical forms. over the past five years, cosmo has called upon some of the finest producers in the most adventurous corners of 4/4 dance music to collaborate with players of the kora, guembri, lute and many more forms of percussion and melodic instrumentation. the chosen artists congregate at the cosmo recording studios in casablanca, which acts as a hub for these disparate musical energies to come together in a fusion of seasoned, learned performances and hyper-modern electronic processes. amongst the most notorious artists that have contributed to the label so far are masomenos, radiq, argenis brito and ricardo villalobos, while moroccan producer adil hiani provides a local focus to the electronic side of the creative process, as well as conducting the a&r for the label.

op.discs highly acclaimed 2013 double pack from radiq aka yoshihiro hanno receives some heavy reworking from three of his label mates, fumiya tanaka, akiko kiyama and aoki takamasa. fumiya tanakas reinterpretation provides an extensive, deep down edition of vida noir and renders the original beats into a minimal bass behemoth of a track that clocks in at almost ten minutes. akiko kiyama shows her peerless talent in her revision of rondo. the beats and pieces are sticking like glue each other to render exotic and mesmerizing aspect of radiqs original. aoki takamasa shows his further involvement into minimalism on his version of calling, channels a micro-house groove into a multilayered beast.

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro

seeking for the gentleness of subtle tones of feminine voices, i immerse myself in (tantara). the hum of a nameless track of extensive progression, from small changes i create an tmosphere based on a tacit kick snap.....that is appeased by a surrounding endless pad, elements that combine to create this work...
