Back in stock! A rich remix album of “Tracks,” the 2023 masterpiece by the Kyoto-based three-piece band Kukan Gendai—known for their collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, ECD, and Gozo Yoshimasu—has been released by 〈Leftbrain/HEADZ〉. This album represents an exploration and expansion by artists with whom they’ve shared the stage at “Soto,” the live music venue they run. Every track comes highly recommended.

D.J. Fulltono, a leading figure in the juke/footwork scene; Element, a dub producer who runs the label “Riddim Chango” with 1TA as well as his own label “Parallel Line” and was selected for WIRE’s “Best Of” list; Kafu, a trackmaker and friend of the unconventional Ghost Coast hip-hop group Moe and Ghosts; New York’s maverick MADTEO, who connects with underground scenes across the country and releases works on labels like Honest Jon’s, DDS, and Sahko; and a previously released remix by computer music maestro Carl Stone, who has long maintained a base in Japan. It transforms experiments with repetition and error—rooted in physical performance—and a sense of distortion into an exhilarating new form that amplifies, solidifies, and reflects these elements from various disciplines. Furthermore, the two bonus remixes, available exclusively via the included download code, are a must-listen. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
