Most Excellent Unlimited MXU-003 | Oyama Edit (Mori-Ra & DJ Ground) / Ghost Guide 12"EPリリース!




Ghost Guide - 御山Δ EDIT (Oyama Edit) 12"リリース!

MOST EXCELLENT UNLIMITED MXU-003
Most Excellent Unlimited presents "Ghost Guide," a deep listening session from Osaka's Mori Ra & DJ Ground aka Oyama Edit (御山Δ Edit). Four psyched-out cuts edited from the duo's obscure record collection, and overdubbed in their home studio, range from chilled cosmic disco jams to frantic psychedelic krautrock pieces that make for both a killer listening session, and head-turning tools for the discerning dance floor. Vinyl only edition of 400 ships late March 2015.
All tracks recorded and edited by Mori Ra & DJ Ground at Mori Ra Studios in Osaka, Japan. Mastered & Distributed by Dietrich Shoenemann at Complete USA. Jacket artwork by Jesse Fillingham. Art Direction by Paul Raffaele. © & Ⓟ 2015 Most Excellent Unlimited Recordings.
Tracklisting:
a1. Niagra Pink 
a2. Space Flight 
b1. Ghost Guide 
b2. Love & Love

 これぞまさに「遂にリリース」という言葉がぴったりのリリース。御山EDITに声を最初に声をかけてくれたのが、このMOST EXCELLENT UNLIMITEDとROTATING SOUL RECORDS。最初に声がかかってからかれこれ2、3年越しのリリースとなりましたが、レコード屋さんの反応も良くて売れ行きも好調とのことで何より!400枚プレスですがレーベル在庫もすでに無いようです。

 収録曲は初期のEDITで大地くんがネタを選び最初にEDITに取り組んだA1NIAGRA PINKは御山EDITの1番ということで、まさか初めてのEDITがレコードリリースされるとは当時思ってもいませんでした。A2、B1、B2はそれぞれヨーロピアン・ライブラリーからセレクトしたEDITですがどれもお気に入りです。やっぱりEDITしたものがアナログカットされるのは最高です!音質もとても良い仕上がり!

また、同時リリース予定のMIX TAPEは納品が遅れているようですが、まもなくリリースされると思いますのでお楽しみに!

juno records review
Launched in late 2013, Paul Raffaele's Most Excellent Unltd has developed into a most unpredictable label, equally happy to facilitate more thunderous techno from Phil Moffa being released as it is to coax Mr K edits out of Danny Krivit. The label's first point of business for 2015 swings the focus on the edit talents of Japanese selectors Mori Ra and DJ Ground, two heads with deep knowledge of their country's musical heritage (here's a tip: check Mori Ra's Japanese Breeze mix series). Anyway Ghost Guide is a fine edit 12", veering from thunderous psyche drum work outs to slinky proto house via sultry 80s sax pop workouts and cosmic jazz. This one is likely to remain in many a record box!

Piccadilly Records review
From the land of the rising sun, Sailor Moon and throwing stars comes this superb edit EP of mindbending cosmic sounds. Oyama Edits is the studio moniker for a couple of Japan's underground legends, renowned diggers and DJs Mori Ra and DJ Ground. For the uninitiated, Mori Ra's "Japanese Breeze" series has offered heads around the world a rare window into the obscure and inscrutible world of Japanese electronics, while Daichi Furukawa's mixes on Chillmountain have caused a stir in the deepest musical circles. The Oyama rocket ship instantly hits warp speed with the spiralling sequences of "Niagra Pink", a brainpulping psyche edit that could easily serves as an alternate soundtrack to THAT scene in Kubrick's 2001. All manner of howls, traffic sounds and dislocated voices swirl through the background while clattering percussion tumbles over the wormhole synth, finally dropping us in the motorik breakdown at the track's conclusion. "Space Flight" takes a calmer approach, albeit still at about 125 bpm, flinging us around a melodic milky way on a carousel of filtering sequences, meteor showers and space dust, while the droning synthline waxes and wanes. This is the kind of space disco I lost my heart to back in the mid 2000s, and is a total treat for anyone with a healthy stash of Feedelity and Full Pup in their collection. For the flipside we drop out of warp speed, instead opting for a couple of wonked out zero gravity trips in the form of "Ghost Guide" and "Love & Love". The former kicks off the B-side with a irresistible bass groove, expansive strings and an ascending staircase of key changes which keeps you peaking again and again. The closest analogue I can come up with is Logic System's superb "Unit", but with the weight of dub effects and space echo going on here, that's still way off the mark. "Love & Love" closes the set in emotional form thanks to a killer fusion of cosmic magic, jazzy instrumentation and tripped out sonics, perfect for leaving you elated, inflated and a little unbalanced.  Domo arigato!

Macadam Mambo | Tokyo Matt / Mori Ra & ASN / Balearico Cosmico Editsuリリース!



TOKYO MATT/MORI RA & ASN - BALEARICO COSMICO EDITSU リリース!
MACADAM MAMBO - MME3003 
On this new 12”, we present 3 big names of the digging scene: Tokyo Matt from the Otaku Soundsystem originally based in Hong-Honk, and Mori Ra & Asn from Tokyo Oyama Edit, well know for their releases on Curt Jackson Rotating Souls’s label.
The 4 edits they are presenting are just out of this world. All very atmospherics, they are the ideal combination of space disco, Balearic rock, jazz, pop and fusion. Another EP to take very seriously.
Tracklisting:
A1: Tokyo Matt – I Had A Dream Of You 5:22
A2: Mori Ra & Asn – Just Another Story 6:01
B1: Mori Ra & Asn – Tour De Montreux 4:24
B2: Tokyo Matt – The passenger 7:28

 遂にリリースされました!フランスのMacadam Mambo Editsより香港をベースにOtaku Sound Systemとして活躍するTokyo Mattとのスプリット12"EP!今回のEditは東京のAsnとタッグを組んでのリリースとなりました。
 A2は原曲のイナタイおっさんボーカル全面カット(これはこれで味があるのですが)と原曲のサビ部分は変拍子なんですがこれをイーブンキックに作り替えDJで使いやすくEditしたDJユースなEDIT。前半のモロダー風シンセから中盤にゴージャスなドラムが加わり、極めつけは80'sフレイバーな大げさなブレイクで悶絶。Lifetideパーティーの後、我が家に移動し浅野君と1日で仕上げた一品。
 B1の原曲は2分と短いのでDJユースにロングEDITを施し、原曲のBPM揺れを矯正し、ボトムを足して音圧を上げたEditで泣きのシンセフレーズに昇天。Soundloudで非常に評判が良かったお気に入りのEDIT。
 そしてTokyo Mattはなんと和物!マスターが上がってきた時にこっちが自分たちと間違われそう~と思った笑。JAZもMIXの1曲目に使っていた原マスミのEDITと、東海林修のEDIT。実はMattのEditタイトルと僕たちのタイトルがA面、B面とも偶然対になってるっていう流れの良さです。実際曲の流れも非常に良いので是非手に取って聞いてみて下さい。
また、年末と年始にリリースが内定してるので、レーベルから正規インフォが出たらお知らせできるかと!お楽しみに。

DEAことAradea Barandnaは忙しないインドネシアの首都ジャカルタで70'sディスコやプログレッシブ・ロックへの情熱とともに育った。
2003年にロンドンへ移り、サウンド・デザインや作曲を学びイースト・ギャラリー・バーでレジデントを勤めるようになって間もなく東京やストックホルム、サンモリッツやパリといった海外を含む様々な土地でプレイするようになる。インプレッシブなヴァイナル・コレクションへの情熱と共に平行して親友であるRichardo Piccoloのバンド、Asphalt Piratesにもミュージシャン/プロデューサーとして参加している。
2010年に名うてのスゥエディッシュ・ディスコ・エース、Albion Venables, DissidentからのEditリリースも評判のSpacelexと共に、数珠のオブスキュア・エレクトリック・ディスコへの敬愛を表したエディット・レーベル、Frisbee Recordsを立ち上げる。Lovefingers主催のBlackdiscoからもBD011としてオブスキュアなディスコ・エディットを2曲提供。COSMICの権化、Daniele BaldelliやJonny Nashらとも親交が深い。
Heavy Rotationシリーズの次回作である“3”は11月後半、そしてDeaのバンド・プロジェクトによる別リリースも予定している。
Dea, grown up in Jakarta, the bustling capital of Indonesia, where he began to develop his passion for 70′s underground disco . In 2003 he moved to London to pursue sound design & music composition studies. Shortly after he became resident dj of East Gallery Bar in London & little by little began to play abroad from later on in various venues such as Tokyo, Stockholm, St Moritz and Bali.
Passionated crate-digger and owner of an impressive vinyl collection, Dea is also a musician & producer alongside his pal Ricardo Piccolo with whom he created the band Asphalt Pirates. In 2010 with notorious swede’s disco ace Albion Venables & Spacelex, he launched Frisbee Records, devoted to edits of obscure electronic disco gems. The next edition Heavy Rotation 3 is soon to be released, late june or beginning of july.
