A split 12-inch from two new-breed DIY artists, SAM HOSTETTLER and LA LEIF!!! Start with A2 "Kyoto" (sample 1) and B1 "Kimochi" (sample 2) from La Leif, dance music balanced right on the brink of collapse amid electro-acoustic experimentalism. Sam Hostettler's electronic ambient (?) — the two tracks A1 "Pointalims" and B2 "Opalescene" (sample 3), described as somewhere between Vangelis and Burial — are also fascinating. We're keeping an eye on this label's future releases. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
