Tokyo label Diskotopia has been releasing free compilations near the end of the year since 2014, and they have thus far been very strong collections gathering producers from and near their universe together. The Fall/Winter 2016-2017 Free Compilation continues that quality tradition, featuring co-founders A Taut Line and BD1982…and their joint project Greeen Linez, whose “This Listening Winter” kicks off the collection with a nice, spacious warmth. From there, artists such as Submerse (with the fuzzy “Safehouse”) and Fujimoto Tetsuro (with the spliced-up funk of “Roof”), though the pair that most intrigued us over here beyond the WordPress dash were Taiwan’s Meuko! Meuko!…and familiar favorite Foodman. Slight spoiler — he’s pretttttty high up on this blog’s year-end list, so we are down for all new music from him, and “Amenbo Wodori” finds him creating a breezy, bubbly number apt for a summer festival. Get it here, or listen below.

  • Stuff We Missed 2012: Jappers Lately EP

    淡く幻想的なFancy Booksのポップから暗闇で覆うようなThe Paellasのロックまで、東京のDead Funny Recordsの2012年は非常に強力でした。でもJappersのLately EPも是非聴いてみて下さいね。このグループのサウンドは溺れるようなFancy Booksのサウンドともファズの掛かったThe Paellasとも違い、クリアでもっとクラシックなロック/ポップを奏でています。”Settle Down”はとても有意義なリラックスタイム。シンプルな構成によってメインの部分が際立ち、曲の良さを効果的に引き出しています。タイトルトラックは”You Can’t Hurry Love”からの影響が感じられるものの、Jappersのヴォーカルはウイスキーを少量飲んだかのように若干荒々しいです。オリジナルの持つ軽快さは陰に潜みますが、それが彼等の個性であり良さなんです。
