STUDIOMUL 049LP
|
Kaoru Inoue is a Japanese veteran producer and DJ, active since late '90s. He has been releasing music from his own label Seeds and Ground and other labels like Mule Musiq and Groovement. This album was originally released in 2013 Japan. It's a style mix of world music, field recording, ambient and electronic music. The album starts with the minimal gamelan ambient "Malam," followed by "Selva," a minimal Afro-Brazilian house which reminds listeners of early Luciano or Villalobos. The third track "Kamui Fuchi" is an electric jazz fusion house, while the fourth track, "Sphere," is like Joan Bibiloni in the late '80s. The B-side track "Etenraku" is avant-garde tribal break beats, and the album closes with the beautiful melancholic new age music "Healing Force."

Originally released in 1983 through Apollon Music industrial corp's alty sublabel, Mule Musiq sub-label Studio Mule presents the first official digital reissue of Shinsuke Honda's rare Silence album. Recorded as part of alty's resort mind music series, Honda-san's contemplative guitar instrumentals tint the air with nostalgia, longing and a gentle sadness at the impermanence of all things, transporting the listener to an eternal sunset of the mind. A masterful guitarist and composer with a well-listened ear, Honda-San grew up in Hiroshima during the middle years of the 20th century, eventually making his way to Tokyo in the early 1970s, where he spent several years as a member of the pioneering Japanese language folk-rock group Hachimitsu Pie. After they disbanded, Honda-San spent some time in Japan's jazz and experimental rock scenes before turning his hand to film and television soundtrack work in 1978. Five years later, as new age and kankyō ongaku (environmental music) became commercial record label concerns, alty offered him a record deal. Over Silence's eight songs, Honda-San collapsed time and space, effortlessly integrating his sepia-toned memories of the rock instrumentals of his childhood with his adult love of jazz, minimalism, electric blues and soundtrack composition. Although Honda-San went on to have an accomplished career in soundtrack work, along the way scoring the Japanese films Target of Lust (1979), Koichiro Uno's Shell Competition (1980) and Moonlight Whispers (1999), and working on the theme music for the Fuji tv travel program Kazemakase Shin Shokoku Manyuuki, his early work spent decades languishing in obscurity, until it was rediscovered in recent years by record diggers like Tsunaki Kadowaki and Diego Olivas. Forty years on, Mule Musiq and Studio Mule are pleased to be able to contribute to the critical re-evaluation of Shinsuke Honda's Silence album as an essential desert island disc for lovers of contemporary jazz, steel-string blues and Balearic guitar bliss.

Tenderly propelling and full of haunting melodies: Studio Mule reissues Sakura Tsuruta's so far digital-only, self-released debut album C/O from November 2022. An evocative first long player by Tokyo based artist, who was trained in classical piano during childhood, played with brass instruments, studied music production, and is today active as a composer, live performer, and versatile DJ. With C/O, she expressed her personal history in a fluid, around 43-minute-long light flooded, yet darkish musical vision. Eight profoundly composed tracks, melding complex rhythms with emotional airs, tripping arpeggios, and ghostly sounds, slightly influenced by some of her favorite artist like Björk, Holly Herndon, or Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. "C/O is a love letter for the experiences, people, and memories I had in the last two years that I spent producing this album. I also like that the letter 'c' looks like an incomplete circle, whereas the letter 'o' is a full circle."

The remix release of Japanese jazz fusion masterpiece of Eiki Nonaka which was released in 2022. UK Balearic master Faze Action chose one of the best tracks, "flanged vortex", from the album (this track is licensed for the great Heisei No To compilation on Music From Memory). The result is timeless summer feel Balearic slow house. Studio Mule's new favorite artist in Milano, Simone Du Kunovich, chose a very emotional tune which is reminiscent of Pat Metheny. His remix is stripped-down, no beats, emotional house music.

A pure journey inward into the headspace of an artist, that reveals his gaze at the Earthly zones he walks in: Song for Joni, the new album by Japanese musician Shunji Mori, offers pure natural music full of artificial nuances, creating a conversation with analog tones. A new kind of musical nature, loaded with vibrant seasons, unknown to the unwise humans. The album is a fine continuation of Japan's rich ambient leaning music traditions, carrying them into Lorren Connor's like pending guitar galaxies. In the 1990s, Tokyo based Mori was part of the trip-hop, nu-jazz, deep house, and down-tempo duo Natural Calamity, releasing a string of albums and EPs on labels like legendary London based imprint Nuphonic, Japanese Idyllic Records, or Down 2 Earth Recordings. In 2003, he launched the instrumental guitar duo Gabby & Lopez with his buddy Masayuki Ishii. Together they created three albums and performed live. Additionally, Mori plays improvisational concerts with Japanese musician, multi-instrumentalist, and stage director Daiho Soga and finds time to invent his very own, charismatic guitar music. His solo work now finally gets introduced with a full-length album for Studio Mule, consisting of recent compositions and ones that a decade old, all merely recorded with the electric guitar, pedals, and field recordings. In the center of Song for Joni is the guitar, spreading longing, drifting melodies. Free floating, yet deeply felt compositions, performed in an accurate journey music style. Around the strings, ambient landscapes soar and vanish. In some moments, the guitar works like a slow-mo yacht rock lead, flying speed less over and under imaginative sonic clouds. Then, Mori's music distributes psychedelic effects in the tradition of krautrock legends like Günter Schickert, just without the echo fuzz. Additionally, in warm vibrating seconds, his creations are reminiscent of the calm flashes in the musical work of English photographer, musician, and artist designer Steve Hiett, while Mori's ambient spheres come close to the magic vibe of records like Pier & Loft by his fellow countryman, Hiroshi Yoshimura. A mixture that transports considerate listeners into a meditative world, a calm island of bliss, made for all those that follow the heedful path of life.

Once again Studio Mule dives deep into the music history of Japan, unearthing the multi-colored album A-Key by Eiki Nonaka, released as CD only on the short-lived Japanese label Sun & Moon Records in 1995. An album, that uniquely unifies global ethnic music styles, the playfulness of jazz, innovative electronic soundscapes, and the winding personality of spiritual music. It's the only solo album of a musician that has influenced the advancement of electronic Japanese music culture since the early 1980s. Eiki Nonaka was part of electronic new age quartet Interiors releasing the two minimalistic, synth-pop leaning albums: Interior (1982) and Design (1987). Likewise, he was a member of Haruomi Hosono's band Friends Of Earth, playing, voicing, and tuning the drum machine, guitar, synthesizers, and microphone on their second landmark experimental, pop electronic album Sex, Energy and Star, released Hosono's outstanding Non-Standard label in 1986. His one-and-only solo album A-Key features the essence of all his musical journeys until 1995, bringing, as he puts it on his blog: "all my musical career up to that point designed in sounds that were ringing in my head at that time. It's extremely introspective, but the various mental landscapes of that time are still vibrating fresh and acoustically new."

Studio Mule present a reissue of Eitetsu Hayashi's Kaze No Shisha, originally released in 1983. Spiritual leaning rhythms come from none other than Eitetsu Hayashi, one of Japan's most renown taiko drummers, a percussive instrument that is deeply rooted in the mythology of Japanese folklore. Kaze No Shisha is a crucial album in his long-spanning career, that started in 1971 when Hayashi joined the famed Ondekoza Group. The so-called "demon drum group" established the taiko drumming to a global audience and intensively toured around the globe between 1975 and 1981. Shortly after, Hayashi and some like-minded spirits formed Kodo, a new drum troupe with Hayashi as the lead drummer. After their first live performances he left the ensemble again in order to launch his solo career, an output first marked by Kaze No Shisha, released in 1983 on the Japanese subsidiary of the US record company Victor. The album's six compositions feature Hayashi on taiko drum and other percussion by famed Japanese composer Midori Takada on marimba, cymbal, and bells, Shuichi Chino on synthesizer, Chi Soungja on the traditional Korean zither gayageum and the Korean janggu drum, as well as the singers Kamur and Tenko, also known as The Honeymoons. The record's A side starts rough and traditional with "Kintonun", a tune in which Hayashi bangs the taiko stormy while charmingly dancing with Chi Soungja's Korean janggu drum performance. A propulsive start that slides into "cosmos" -- a slow glooming melancholic trance-folk-spiritual tranquilizer, featuring Hayashi playing the piano and koto, while Chi Soungja ghostly weeps on his gayageum zither. A perfectly built folk drama, deeply charged with a musical infinity. Its followed by "kalavinka", an industrial leaning composition that lifts off with metal tones and meditative chanting, only to melt into a mesmerizing melodic marimba crescendo, played by Midori Takada. B side opener "Kaze No Shisha" presents a slow growing performance by Hayashi on the Japanese zither koto. His nervous play transforms into a synth drone played by Shuichi Chino, that slowly makes space for Hayashi's tribal taiko drumming that again disappears in another wave of koto string notes. The follow-up "Bakuon" launches with a supersonic transport sound and operatic singing by The Honeymoons, which amalgamate with Hayashi's feverish performance on his main instrument, the taiko. On "Seiten", Hayashi creates a conversation between the taiko and mokugyo, also known as the Buddhist wooden fish. A captivating, experimental album, full of Japanese music mysticism, surprising non-linear shock-waves, repetitive minimal structures, and frenziedly drumming.

Studio Mule open the roster towards sophisticated spiritual sounds on the crossroads of electrified jazz, oriental fourth-world spheres and deeply composed experimental sounds. This time, the label welcomes Japanese artist Ya-Sukazu Sato, aka Yas-Kaz, a university-trained percussionist, that gained global success as a composer for the internationally known Butoh dance troupe Sankai Juku which has toured the world since 1975. His infrequent musical amalgamation of ancient Eastern genres, airy soundscapes, and ritualistic dance percussions perfectly accompanied the modern dance movements of an avant-garde dance group that is known for slow, mesmerizing dance passages, whose repetitive body movements sometimes focusing only on the feet or fingers. Besides his theater work, Yas-Kaz composed scores for Japanese movies, performed live along stars like US-American jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter or legendary Japanese new-age musical group Himekami, and recorded a number of collaborative and solo albums. Studio Mule reissues his third solo album, Virgo Indigo, originally published on the Japanese label canyon in 1986. The album opens with "Djidanda", a composition whose melodic drive and percussive groove is reminiscent of Moondog's spirit. Melancholic strings, loose guitar riffs, spiritual cowbells and wild, yet mild rhythms form a repetitive maelstrom that is made for all sorts of acrobatic body movements. Its followed by the album's title track "Virgo Indigo", a spiritual jazz leaning arrangement featuring Wayne Shorter on the soprano saxophone, delivering a crystal-clear performance above tribal rhythms and traces of Gamelan. The story-arc of the ten-minute long composition also brings minimalistic percussive moments, oriental ambient zones, and some electronic drones. "Kara-Kira ~Windscape III~" is an airy spiritual illusion that melds joyful flute notes with gentle chime melodies. "WADJI" starts with an industrial feel, just to break down into a manic, again Moondog-ish, atmosphere full of darkish sounds and nebulous ambient music. Yas-Kaz enters the oriental zones with "Notarinotari", seducing with a jazz-laden romantic soundtrack mood. The final tune, "Jasmin", is yet another surprise, a percussive-driven neon cocktail bar pop that features a humming female voice and mesmerizing synth and guitar melodies. Six tracks that introduce six different locations of Yas-Kaz's ramified artistic work, combining sweetish melodies, dynamic percussions, statuesque minimalism, and world music traditions in spacious compositions.

The second album of mysterious Japanese singer Nadja haunts immediately and marks one of the most exquisite reissues in the ever-growing catalog of Studio Mule. Originally released in 1989 as promo-only CD on the Japanese label Polystar, the album features some of the finest '80s pop funk fusion arrangements of the era. A deeply enchanting lost gem, that gets listeners instantly into heavy repeat addiction. All ten songs are arranged by a group of grandmasters of their art. Japanese saxophonist, composer, and music producer Yasuaki Shimizu, man behind the electronic ambient fusion classic Kakashi, was in charge for tunes like "Wac-Wack", a neon light funk pop song, full of soft big city eroticism, ultra-slick synth lines and real funkateer explosions. It's followed by "夢のとりこ", the most stirring pop tune on the album, that originally was written by French composer Areski Belkacem, known for his and long-time collaborations with French avant-garde singer Brigitte Fontaine. Shimizu transformed the song into a low-hanging funk jewel, with a cool rolling bassline, dub depth, and synths that cry for cosmic help. Above all Nadja signs with a sexy chill, that somehow could only emerge in the '80s, when the cold war even made pop music real cool. The follow up is named "真珠のように", features again music by Belkacem, this time transformed by Shimizu into electronic erotic pop -- dreamy, witchy and precisely musical composed. The B-side opens with "Velvet Rain", a funky urban boogie composition by Japanese keyboard player, composer, and producer Akira Inoue, enlarged with glimmer camp kitsch, that immediately puts a smile on the listeners faces. It gets followed by "Paradise Catcher", a soft pop tune with longing string and horn sections, arranged by legendary Jamaican rhythm and production duo Sly & Robbie. It somehow marks one of the strangest songs in their longstanding career, as it is largely minimal orchestral but yet super tight when it comes down to the rhythmic magnitudes. The next tune, "Private Tripper", also stays soulful, funky and horn driven. Always pleasing the super tight, yet feathery voice of Nadja, that is dancing about boogie grooves and illuminating melodies with a seducing tragical coolness. Finally, the album ends with a stylistic break in the overall musical atmosphere. It comes from Japanese musician Hiroaki Goto, it's called "地図をずっと南へ"and features Afro-Brazilian voodoo rhythms, pan flutes, cosmic piano notes.

Studio Mule the label announces a killer remix package. Superpitcher (aka Pachanga Boys) made three versions of remix. Studio Mule's original version which is produced by Kuniyuki Takahashi and sung by Miyako Koda (aka Dip In The Pool) is a cover version of a Japanese '80s dance classic by Taeko Onuki. Superpitcher's main mix is for peaktime in DJ sets. It's much more groovy and dancefloor friendly than original version. The "Dub Mix" is a more stripped-down version and for the more disco-oriented DJ. The "Ambient Mix" sounds like a Japanese Kankyo Ongaku, it's simply beautiful meditative music. Beautiful cover design by New York artist Lily Fei.

Studio Mule drops Anthologia, the final chapter of a close look on the work of the Tokyo born DJ and producer Takayuki Shiraishi, a jack of all trades, that sways through Tokyo's vast music scene since the late '70s. As part of the band BGM he released in 1980 the album Back Ground Music on Osaka based label, Vanity. In 2019, Studio Mule reissued BGM's no wave, free funk minimal treasure (STUDIOMUL 024LP). A few months earlier, Studio Mule already published Missing Link (STUDIOMUL 022LP), a thrilling retrospect on Takayuki Shiraishi's unreleased material from the late 1980s. And now Anthologia, a record that is dedicated to his work during the years 1990 to 1996, a time span, in which Shiraishi moved on to produce house, downbeat, and playful electronica. Shiraishi was also a prominent figure of Tokyo's club nightlife, DJing alongside Jeff Mills as well as krautrock icons like Holger Czukay. Anthologia features three unreleased tunes of this lapse of time, as well as highlights some work Shiraishi produced together with his friend Jun Sonohara as Musica Nova and a hidden gem he tuned in for the Isolated Audio Players 1 compilation, published by the Tokyo based Pickin' Mushroom Recordings label in 2000. The three unreleased tracks display his love for diversification. "Distant Thunder" is a drone driven ambient voyage, that slowly melds into a gentle rhythmic sensation driven by loose hi-hat patterns and a soft chord crescendo. "Lapis Lazuli" comes around as a mellow melodic downbeat trip enlarged with twisted rhythms and cosmic infiniteness. "A Voyage" shows his love for house music with a grooving arrangement that comes close to the kinky house gems of contemporary producers, like Lowtec. Also, the already known Isolated Audio Players 1 compilation tune, "Flicker" is located in the house spheres, delivering nervous jacking minimal vibes emerging from a precise produced dance of melodies, grooves, and sound effects. In comparison, the four Musica Nova tracks show again another side of Takayuki Shiraishi's many musical talents. "Birds In Paradise" is an elegant triphop tranquilizer, while tunes like "Nocturnal Tribes" and "Green On Green" express his passion for electronic arrangements that think out of the box with airy melodies, slow-motion big beat rhythms, and jazz particles. The tune "Shifting Sand" goes the same direction, while adding esoteric reverberations and a touch of drum and bass.

Some of his famous works are mellow jazz fusion masterpiece Tarika Blue (1977), dance jazz classic Trinkets And Things (1978), cosmic new wave jazz Lucky Lady (1983), Balearic jazz album Little Tree (1980), and many more. Electric World was released on Kawasaki's own label, Satellites Records, in 1987. It seems the release was in very small production -- it's hard to find an original copy. The original version of "Electric World" and "727" are electric, jazzy, fusion disco. The main track on the EP is an extended version of "Electric World" -- a very playful, '80s freestyle boogie track.

Japanese crate digger "Chee" picked this album as his favorite album from Japan on Resident Advisor. Little Tree is the first album that Ryo Kawasaki used a self-made guitar synthesizer. Rich in variety, Little Tree includes the Japanese Brazilian jazz fusion classic "Looking Around You", experimental guitar ambient piece "Capricho Arabe", the cosmic fusion of "Quasar Infection", Balearic jazz masterpiece "You Are The Sunlight", club jazz classic "Little Tree", folky jazz vocal "Jamiko" -- there's a lot of great songs on this album.
