New Metoronori: “ディナー・Till・☾ ◯”
Whirring, buzzing, faint, distant memory, mysterious, hypnotic, strange, intimate, far, intriguing, bedroom, mysterious, gorgeous, slow-burning (if it burns at all), Metoronori’s best song yet. Listen below.

New Moscow Club: “And The Moon Be Still As Bright”
This year, Tokyo’s Moscow Club have been balancing precariously between electronic goodness and cheesy gloop. They haven’t abandoned the indie-pop sound that grabbed some attention last year – see the lovely “Radio Vietnam” – but their 2012 output has relied heavily on synths and keyboards, the band conjuring up a spacey, 80’s new wave vibe…
New Coffee And TV: “Guess What? Summer’s Arrived”
What an absolutely cruel tease, Coffee And TV. Besides that terribly misleading title…today was actually the first day I had to wear a parka to work, you jerks…the music of “Guess What?

New Metoronori: “Hai Yoru No Kodou Ni”
The glimpses Tokyo artist Metoronori gives into her world through her music is always fascinating — the string of albums she released last year were her finest collections of off-beat pop to date, each feeling like a door into a different dimension.

Madegg Releases New Mixtape, 3
Madegg is a tough one to pin down. The Kyoto producer has been one of the most prolific electronic artists of the last few years, to the point where keeping track of everything he’s done has become a real challenge (shouts out to whoever is keeping tabs on that for the Madegg box set). One…
Shokuhin Maturi A.K.A Foodman: “Tantei Kun”
日本のジューク／フットワークって聞くと少し取っ付きづらいイメージがありますが、”Japanese Juke & Footwork Compilation“というそのまんまのタイトルのコンピは、シーンの入門にはうってつけ。様々なプロデューサーが、多彩なアプローチでこのシカゴのジャンルに挑戦しています。でも４５曲も収録されているので、もっと手軽にジャンルを知りたい場合は、食品祭り A.K.A. Foodmanの新曲、”Tantei Kun”がオススメ。切り刻まれたサンプルはジャンルの特徴を上手くとらえているのですが、テンポは比較的ゆったりぎみ(的確なのが聴きたい場合はPicnic Womenとか、アメリカのTraxmanをチェックして下さい）。でも、ソフトロック調の心地よさは素晴らしいです。視聴は以下から、もし気に入ったら、４５曲のコンピにも挑戦してみて下さい。
