Kicking off the third instalment of the series is San Proper's "Your Call", a robust yet dream house workout fueled by choppy bass hits, fluttering synth licks, and a shuffled analog drum groove. Barcelona based trio Triad follow with "Room N", a hypnotic house cut fueled by ethereal chord swells, modulating percussion, and vacillating bass tones. Tokyo's Iori Wakasa then rounds out the release with "Rave In A Village", which, as the name would suggest, embraces a classic house feel via a winding piano chord, twinkling piano melodies, crunchy drums, and mesmeric pads throughout. The 5 Years project also sees a new design concept for the imprint from London's David Surman's painting installation project "Paintings For The Cat Dimension" which "explores the motif of the cat as emblematic of internet aesthetics, a place where all painting styles and modes now exist non-hierarchically as pure information."

For the fourth installment in the series Sound Of Vast welcome Berlin's queen of house, Cinthie, onto its roster with "6am". As the name suggests, it's a heads-down, emotive slice of house aimed at those special moments in the early hours of the dance floor, fusing a robust analog drum workout with bright strings, jazzy piano lines, and driving low-end. Akiko Kiyama's "Dirt Specks" follows, a typically unique offering from the Tokyo based experimentalist, built around swirling bass notes, hypnotizing processed vocals and glitched-out percussion before label co-founder Red Pig Flower's "Mental Adventure" brings Eastern-tinged plucked strings and vacillating atmospherics into the limelight alongside rounded subs and a bumpy rhythmic drive to create a smooth, hypnotic trip.

Tokyo-based Far East recording artist Shinichiro Yokota opens 5 Years Anniversary Series 02 with "I Know You Like" a harkening back to the days of soulful, musical house courtesy of jazzy synth lines, warm chords and choppy bass running alongside a swinging drum groove and vocal hooks uttering the track's title. The Mole follows with "A Simple Day", turning in a typically raw and funk-infused workout via dusty drum sounds, looped guitar licks, warbling low-end tones, and an underlying psychedelic feel.

SOV 015EP

Red Pig Flower's Though Crime EP is conceptually based around George Orwell's classic novel, 1984, backed with a remix from Perlon trio Wareika. "Thought Crime" opens with murky atmospheric textures, skippy hat patterns, and shuffled organic drums grooves. "No Fear" follows, laying focus on a bumpy drum groove, modulating synth swells, ethereal tension-building pads, and a sub bass groove. Wareika rework "Thought Crime" -- the trio shine light on chuggy bass grooves and jazz-tinged, ever-unfolding drums. "Since 1984" is an interlude of bubbling arpeggios, dreamy piano melodies, and swirling, dubbed-out echoes.

"On The Floor" rounds out the package, retaining a similar aesthetic with choppy guitar melodies, penetrating bass stabs, crunchy rhythms and resonant arpeggio synths ebbing and flowing dynamically throughout.
