DJ Yakult Lady: “Yakult (Stay) Gold”

I mean…the thing is, most of “Yakult (Stay) Gold” sounds really woodsy, all flutes and subtle percussion, except for when DJ Yakult Lady lets her (?) Jersey Club love sneak into the track via bed squeaks and hyped-up electronics. There’s a drama to this song that’s pretty surprising given…well, one second…hinted at by the clash of woodwind sounds and club smacks, and driven further home by the guitar that rips through the center of this song. But this isn’t pure, cinema-aiming swell…this song is actually really funny once you realize what the vocal sample at the center of it all is. If you can’t get it, here you go. Listen below.

    Neon Cloud Neon Cloud Neon Cloud Neon Cloud!取り乱してすいません…でも、ミステリアスかつ素晴らしい(どんどん良くなっています)東京のプロジェクト、Neon Cloudが、2011年のKnit EP以降ついにまた作品をドロップしました。厳密に言うとオリジナル作品ではないのですが、Neon CloudがブルックリンのBlue Foundationの”Describe”(原曲も素晴らしいですよ!)にFlauアーティスト特有のテイストを足しています。このリミックスではリズムには手が加えられていないものの、不意なビートであったり、多数のシンセであったり、加えられた音が原曲の持つ不穏さを際立てるだけでなく、更にその世界感を追求しています。この“Describe”のクライマックスはNeon CloudがBlue Foundationのヴォーカルを逆再生し、リミクサー自身のボーカルが陰から現れる所。男性ヴォーカルがメインなものの、Cloudの繊細な女性ヴォーカルもバックグラウンドに花を添えます。今年はNeon Cloudが新作をリリースするように皆で祈りましょう!試聴は以下から。

Here he is taking the 2017 Camoflauge EP by the rapper Kyoh3i and basically remixing it, swapping out the sparse boom-bap inspired beats of the original for backdrops ripped from ΔKTR’s record collection, resulting in…

  • New Sauceman: Tori

    The proliferation of crackly, loop-centric beat tapes seemingly designed to soundtrack anime girl homework sessions has made me hesitant of anything merging sample-centric repetition with drum-machine-generated boom bap. Leave it to an artist closer to Japan’s footwork scene to upend those expectations. Sauceman’s Tori gathers 10 tracks that often rely on a scant amount of…
