We’ve got a long-awaited 12-inch in stock from MODERN LOVE, run by an artist (or is it a pseudonym?) named NO ICONS—a longtime friend of the label! From the experimental broken beat track “Dojo” (sample 1)—which features a light yet intricate broken-step rhythm and collages of processed samples—to the gritty ambient breaks of “Nothing But Fixes” (sample 2) and the mutant electronic reggaeton of “Carinho” (sample 3). From the sonic palette to the way the bass is worked in, I’m really drawn to the post-rave nostalgia of the 2010s and thereabouts. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
