Head DJ NOBU makes his long-awaited comeback to 〈BITTA〉, which has been on a roll with a string of successful releases! This split single features JAKOJAKO, a modular artist who remains at the forefront of the DJ scene while also consistently releasing works on labels such as 〈WSNWG〉 and 〈MUTE〉. Featuring layered pads and delicately crafted high-pitched synths, “Wax and Wane” (sample 1) maintains an introspective mood while injecting a powerful beat to boost its momentum—be sure to check out JAKOJAKO’s remix, which retains the original’s mystique while incorporating undulating, dynamic drums! JAKOJAKO’s original track “Nodus” (sample 2) is avant-garde techno that captivates with a finely intricate, enigmatic beat accompanied by synth stabs. A superb work where the artistic sensibilities of both artists interact beautifully. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
