incl kaoru inoue remix

snaker under chari chari and a missing myth of the future as kaoru inoue were his latest albums back in 2013. time has come to finally celebrate his much awaited return with the exquisite em paz lp. a celestial ambient collection that will drive us through a beautiful imaginary place where the quest for peace is central. in fact, all kinds of peace. em paz will spontaneously make you seek for some brian eno or jon hassell albums because it emerges from that same timeless place. a very strong conceptual and listening album from the beginning to the very end.

incl quantonic remix

kaoru inoue is well known under the name of chari chari aurora acoustic. and under the name of kaoru inoue the delivers fantastic mixture of his world music roots (asia,africa,dub etc.) and dance music production house, techno, breakbeats, downtempo.

one of the most popular japanese house dj kaoru inoue returned to mule musiq (actually endless flight!) with fantastic balearic tune. his last 12inch on mule musiq was a one of the highlight release of 2007 and todd terje remix still have been played. kaoru s original version is taken from mule musiq s japanese artist compilation va/the definitive japanese scene vol.1 . our favorite new producer john daly (his new 12inch is coming on mule musiq) made a floor killer old school house remix

this is a debut release of kaoru inoue aka chari chari for mule. he is a one of the most popular japanese house music dj & producer since end of 90s. maybe people still remember that he has joined to the compilation of bossa tres jazz. recently, he is pushing & producing to his roots music like a progressive rock, balearic sound under his own name & aurora (the project with guitarist dsk). these his original two tracks of a side will be reminded the sound of can, holger czukay, klaus schulze, manuel gottsching etc and this releases highlight of todd terje remix is a dreamy long barealic tune!!

we are happy to celebrate our 100th vinyl release with a very special project: transcend – the brandnew full-length album produced by longterm nachtstrom member and outstanding italian artist knobs. packed with a whopping total of 9 original tracks (some of them co-produced with his partner tuseth, such as bastard, navajo and feed your need), knobs invites you into his very own musical multiverse which spans from pumping, dark-layered techno tunes to highly psychoactive ambientish soundscapes. the album will be coming on smokey grey triple 12 inch vinyl and will be strictly limited to 100 copies with no chance of repress. so this one definitely will become a true collectors item. in order to complete this highly diverse album, we carefully selected a number of amazing remixes by some of the finest producers out there, such as developer (modularz, polegroup), a. mochi & kaoru inoue (figure, sleaze, phobiq), hardom (naked lunch), raphael dincsoy (kombination research, h-productions), coeter, recharge & operate and brian burger!
