Satoshi Tomiie

Review: This debut Archivators records release embraces the charms of nudisco, deep house and garage-afro-tribal side and we think it hit on every level with wonky bassline. It's easy-breezy number built around wild drums, warm chords to catch your breath, lovers of rhodes should lend the EP an extra ear, it's pure bliss. All producers on this timeless release known for their contribution to Disco/House Music. Godfather
Frankie Knuckles & Joey Negro has been injecting deep soul & funk into house music since the early 90s, making them one of house music's originators. EP bring unforgettable impressions & inspiration for mind, body & soul. 4 tracks came together to tell music stories about hypnotic deepest stuff, depression, happiness, loneliness, love, miracles and magical experiences. And now we're asking other's to join the sound conversation

Review: It's some 26 years since Satoshi Tomiie announced his arrival via the brilliant Tears single with Robert Owens, and 16 since he released his only album, 1999's impressively eclectic Full Lick. New Day, then, is long overdue. While rooted in deep house - see the sensual vocal outing that doubles as the title track - the album's blend of bold synthesizer lines, crunchy electronic instrumentation and analogue drumbeats has more in common with Metro Area than the booming, mid-90s progressive house for which he was once renowned. It's a hugely enjoyable set, all told, with the shuffling, Balearic-influenced house of "Thursday, 2am" standing out.

Review: House music legend Satoshi Tomiie pushes his all hardware jam sessions forward, this time teaming up with Tokyo's modular synth master Rintaro on his Abstract Architecture label. The Insomniaque EP featuring improvised tracks recorded in one shot, using only physical hardware instruments such as the Eurorack modular system, drum machines, samplers and synthesizers. Features the groovy minimal funk of "Gil", the dark hypnotic afterhours tackle of the title track, to the barely there DJ tool "FRZ", we look forward to the second part on Parisien Yoyaku's YoY.
