Overrocket
SHADOW OF THE SUN EP
Klasse Wrecks / WRECKSRDC
12 Inch
Für die neueste Klasse Wrecks-Veröffentlichung hat sich das Label mit Japans bester Festival- und Event-Crew Rainbow Disco Club zusammengetan, um gemeinsam WRECKSRDC zu präsentieren. Overrocket war eine Elektro-Pop-Band aus Tokio, die in den frühen 2000er Jahren eine Reihe großartiger Veröffentlichungen hatte, als sie bei Neon Discs und dessen Mutterlabel Aten unter Vertrag war. Während einer Ausgrabungssession entdeckte Luca Lozano die in Vergessenheit geratenen Tracks Duralumin und Shadow of the Sun und machte sich sofort daran, die Bandmitglieder zu kontaktieren, um eine Wiederveröffentlichung und einen Remix zu arrangieren.
Sales Information:
For the latest Klasse Wrecks release, the label combine with Japan's finest festival and events crew Rainbow Disco Club to collaboratively present WRECKSRDC. Overrocket were an electro-pop band from Tokyo that enjoyed a grip of great releases in the early 2000s while signed to Neon Discs and its parent label Aten. During a digging session Luca Lozano discovered the forgotten tracks 'Duralumin' and 'Shadow of the Sun' and immediately set out trying to contact the band's members to arrange a re-release and remix. A few months of patient trying, the connection was finally made and wheels were set in motion. Musically the EP conjures up perfectly the sonics of that time, a grey area between analog convention and the unexplored territories of new digital freedom. Shadow Of The Sun is electro-pop perfection, with breezy vocals and a bouncing beat that sounds like nothing else around...past, present or future. Duralumin is a more dancey collection of blips and beats, one that will make sense in the current return to early 2000s aesthetics. To round out the release and propel it into 2025, KW label bosses take a track each and interpret in their own way. Lozano revisits his electro roots with two remixes of Shadow of the Sun, distorted 808s and growling 101 basslines provide a simple backdrop for the perfect vocals. Mr. Ho takes Duralumin into a more driving and pacey direction, upping the energy and excitement with fast percussion and a huge side chained breakdown that recalls the unbridled rawness of the early 2000s, when everything was just a little bit more fun. Keeping within the confines of Japan and in an effort to bring everything full circle, the label enlisted Japanese artist Gonno to master the tracks for an updated modern sound. The tracks themselves being mastered a few miles from where they were originally penned over 20 years ago.[info sheet from distr.]
