omena limited is back after a short hiatus with its fifth release. this time japanese producer atsushi yano delivers rotties bites ep, three organic & live-sounding percussion filled tracks that become totally infectious...

lphs unpredictable sister label, lph white, is back with another juicy 12inch, one that marks the imprints first foray into japanese clubland. atsushi yano, a kobe based producer, serves up three, as the title indicates, chewy tunes, all doused with african rhythms and set ablaze with fidgety keys, chopped­up vocals, and groovy bass lines. filling the release out is jacques renaults no­nonsense, squared­up, lead­footed remix of stomping on the verge.

et again ben sims manages to present a new artist straight into the fold onto his ingoma imprint and make an instant impact. this double pack is a classy mixture of original tribal grooves by atsushi himself and mixes by top flight artists - ben sims, cave, mark williams and daniel jacques
