Led by Sapporo's treasure KUNIYUKI and NAOHITO UCHIYAMA, one of Japan's rare true melody makers, this set also features REBEL MUSICAL — the "musical terrorist" who has supplied razor-edged beats to a wide range of artists including MIC JACK PRODUCTION and B.I.G.JOE — along with BANANAS and FULL VIOLET, his projects with a guitarist and a female singer; MFP BEAT, the Niseko beatmaker who has remixed HIATUS KAIYOTE and JULIEN DYNE; JEALOUSGUY, the female beatmaker whose performances at SONAR SOUND TOKYO and LOW END THEORY drew wide attention; indie pop band THE CYNICAL STORE, surely on the verge of a breakthrough; THE SKY MATA, the lo-fi bedroom pop musician who also works as MATT HYKER; SOFHESO, who released a cassette on BIRDFRIEND; and the maverick MC MANGO, who put out a best-of album on Tennis Coats' label MAJIKICK, among others. A wonderful compilation gathering cross-genre, innovative artists with a contemporary feel and a free sense of play from all sorts of angles! Be sure to check the tracklist too.
