安定した4/4軸を据えながら、徐々に変調させたアルペジオでコード迷子に陥らせる覚醒ダンススケープ!YOUNG MARCO主宰の 〈SAFE TRIP〉や〈ESP INSTITUTE〉からもリリースする謎多き邦人アーティストHOSHINA ANNIVERSARYが、NYC拠点の長尺トラック専科〈PATIENCE〉に登場。

これまでにもJOHN CARROLL KIRBY, HOSHINA ANNIVERSARY, LEO JAMESらが名を残してきた〈PATIENCE〉に東京在住HOSHINA ANNIVERSARYがエントリー!くっきりとした四つ打ちを基礎に、鋭角なピアノコードとアルペジオ、アシッドをレイヤーした「Karakurenaini」(sample1)は、ぬるっと変調するコード進行が危険。 (Akie)

Prolific and singular Japanese producer Hoshina Anniversary presents Hyakunin Isshu, a two tracker of extended jaunts deeper into the mystery than he’s yet dared to venture. With a growing reputation for sizzling productions combining propulsive house rhythms with gyrating arpeggios and textured sound design punctured by jazz-inflected keys, Hyakunin Isshu further expands the limits.

On Hyakunin Isshu, Hoshina Anniversary paces it out over the course of two complimentary side-long runs. The A side Karakurenaini rides on a steady 4/4 as cycling percussion loops, squelchy acid basslines and angular piano chords float in and out of the mix. Deployed and rinsed to peak effect, it's relentless repetition evolves just enough to get completely lost in.

On side B Kirigirisu slows the pace down to a crawl, a lurching rhythm and haunting riff ascending almost to the point of vertigo toppling and giving way to a sci-fi drum break, a stirring prolonged break and triumphant culmination, it’s slow-mo future strut equally indebted to melodies of the past.

Hyakunin Isshu is named for Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, an anthology of delicate, reflective Japanese poetry comprised of works from the 12th and 13th centuries. Both tracks share their titles with different entries in the series.

Hoshina Anniversary is the alias of Yoshinobu Hoshina, a reverent reinterpreter of jazz, dance music and traditional Japanese instrumentation. The last couple of years have seen the producer from the Tokyo suburbs release a torrent of inimitable missives on esteemed maisons disques like ESP Institute, Osare Editions, Alien Jams and Youth. Also forthcoming in the summer of 2022 is an LP on Impatience.
