WBEEZA, who had been away from the music scene for a while, makes a welcome comeback! From “The Bump” (sample 1)—which pairs a key refrain exuding the deep warmth of jazz fusion with syncopated, dynamic drums—comes a rich, London-style swing. From “The Bump” (sample 1), which features a mysterious sample collage masterfully crafted with the MPC, to the lo-fi, deep track “Holla” (sample 3,” they fully showcase their technical prowess in building jazz-based grooves and their sweet, mellow sound design. The uniqueness of his sampling work remains intact—which should delight his followers—and the album cover is great, too. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
