MOOD HUT欠番だったMH006番がついにリリースです！PEOPLE PLUSとしてのリリースでもお馴染みCZ WANGとNEO IMAGEの二人+アルファの「Just Off Wave」。
Mood Hut’s CZ Wang and Neo Image officially release MH006, a 12-inch that features their long-leaked and celebrated west coast party starter Just Off Wave. Originally recorded in 2014, these tracks sat on ice until they finally passed Claudio’s Cadillac-test™.
Side A’s Just Off Wave throws back to a pioneering moment of Pacific Northwest hip-hop mysticism. It first gained sneaky notoriety as a favourite of local DJs, eventually making it around the world thanks to some—in classic Mood Hut fashion—misplaced CDRs. The track is blessed with the hypnotiq call-and-response vocals of the low-key but legendary Separated At Birth crew —an alias of two Canadian rappers born on the same day. Contract restrictions prohibit us from revealing any more.
Side B features Open Mic Beat, an ecstatic DJ tool centred around an improvised drum machine traffic jam. This tune got its legs at early Mood Hut parties where it became a natural prompt, encouraging microphone-grabbing party guests to step up and freestyle.

MOOD HUTニューリリース。到着しました！CZ WANGとNEO IMAGE+αによる"Just Off Wave"。太平洋岸北西部ヒップホップシーン黎明期の神秘主義に立ち返った曲で、契約上の制限で名前は明かせないけれど、あるパーティーでその日に誕生した伝説の2人のラッパー Separated At Birthをフィーチャリング。ローカル DJの間で密かに話題を呼び、うっかり出回ったCDRのおかげでクラシック化していた。NINJA TUNEと契約以前のJAYDA Gのボイラールームでのプレイでも披露されながらリリースされていないままだった曲！B-SIDEは、初期のMOODHUTパーティーでこの曲がかかると、マイクをとってフリースタイルへとうながせた、即興的ドラムマシーンのエクスタティックなDJツール。ベースのうなりもイカす。ヴァンクーバーのDIYなゲットーハウスシーンの熱い一枚。 (サイトウ)
