レフトフィールドな感覚を軸にお互いの持ち味が相乗効果を生み新たなダンスフロアを探究するかの様な、ダブ・クラシック・命を削るようなソウルフルなディスコにマジカルなIDM・エレクトロニクスがフロアマナーと共に混ざり合う国内アンダークラウンド、クラシック作品が新たに誕生。〈KAKUBARHYTHM〉〈CRUE-L RECORDS〉などより精力的なリリースを重ね、国内を中心に活動するXTAL と昨年の”LOVE IS EMOTION EP”も素晴らしかった、岡山のKEITA SANOがタックを組んだ最新作がUK〈DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR〉よりリリースされた！ニュートーンもストックしてます！
Keita Sano joins forces with fellow Japanese producer XTAL and makes a welcome return to Delusions following last years amazing Love Is Emotion EP.
Those familiar with Keita’s production will know that his sound is a unique blend of raw, crunchy disco beats, touches of acid and a left-field sensibility which creates an intense and captivating atmosphere on the dance floor. A vibe that has seen his tracks become secret weapons for DJ’s as diverse as Ivan Smagghe, Pablo Fierro, DJ Nature, Frank Tope and Hot Toddy.
Kicking off the EP we have a track called Broken, a high energy and uplifting slice of loopy filter disco which hits all the right notes. Things roll along perfectly, building to a crescendo as a full on string break cuts loose, everything dropping away before slamming in with timbale fills joining the party.
Let Us Have Nice Days, The Sun is up next and makes great use of a classic Italo bassline to drive the track along whilst dub delay FX and side chained pads keep the energy bubbling. Bending bass synth notes bring an extra bit of drama without upsetting the flow and rolling 16th note intensity from the bassline. Feel the love!
Closing the release, we have Time Passing which slows the BPM slightly for a chugging slice of string-drenched gorgeousness. Drop this at sunset and watch as this melancholic gem creates a little bit of magic on the dance floor.
