The first release on RIOW ARAI's own label rar, and his 10th album. Now in stock. Built mainly on electric beats and looping samples, these are simple yet deeply flavorful tracks that unfold through minute variations, exquisite dub/effects work, drops and re-entries, and a keen editing sensibility. Unpredictable fun paired with the meticulousness and sheer strength you'd expect from a veteran. The stereophonic sound imaging is superb too, so be sure to give it a listen on headphones.
