From CBL—short for “CITY BOY LOUNGE”—which has long served as a key party in the Kansai modern dance scene by hosting acts like SLEEP D, SEB WILDBLOOD, and CHAOS IN THE CBD, one of its founders, KO YANG, is making his debut via New York’s 〈BLISS POINT〉! The title track “PONY” (sample 1)—which firmly locks down the dance floor with its heavy, resilient kicks and inciting vocal samples—includes a remix (sample 3) by ALEX KASSIAN, who also performs as one half of OPAL SUNN! Featuring tracks like “Gianism” (sample 2), where a heavy, meandering bassline syncopates with the drums, this is a masterpiece that shines with floor-oriented grooves.
