One of the masterminds behind the label 〈1432R〉—which gained attention for its unique releases bridging Ethiopia and Washington, D.C., featuring artists like E.R. MIKAEL SEIFU and DAWIT EKLUND, and was even featured in *The Washington Post*—SAMI, whose releases under the name SAMI% SUYUNG, which was well-received, is now releasing a single on his fellow Ethiopian label, *FUTURE TIMES*! *FUTURE TIMES* and *1432R* have had a long-standing connection. And there’s a string of really interesting releases coming out of this scene. Both sides offer a rather mysterious world. It’s absolutely fantastic. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
