Kimochi Electronic & Dance 9 Items

Radiant melodies interwoven with slippery polyrhythms are the order for the day on the first Kimochi Sound release for 2021. Shielding shows a mastery beyond genre borders, incorporating shades of highlife, bass, drone, djembe, and triphop. It's a challenging & rewarding 32 minute journey. Essential.

Effervescent, even buoyant optimism shoots effortlessly through this quartet of tunes. The vivid neon melody rippling at the core of Post-Typhoon Shakeddown moves towards a more subdued soaring warmth on From The Cockpit. Love The Lights is propelled by a glowing momentum; Paw Print closes the record with a carefree breeze. Conoley Ospovat is back on Kimochi Sound.

After Sw. contributed heavily to Kimochi 13, 14, and 15, he's taken a little sabbatical to travel the world - releasing sounds for LOVEiT, R&S sublabel Apollo, Night Defined, Acido, and of course his homebase at Sued. Now, a triumphant return to Kimochi Sound for #44, where Sw. takes the opportunity to really spread his wings. From the instantly catchy UK garage stylings of inCOMPlete to 90s hrdcr supreme to the jazz-inflected percussion workout of rOAch rOAd 0.1 X-loose to the industrial spatial noise exploration of herbperp, this is an auteur who dares you to name the genre.

After a period of quiet, Area is back with friends on Kimochi Sound.
All the tracks here are reworks of Area productions, but the collaborators take the originals in new and exciting directions.
Gauss' Natan H offers up a stomping version of Dare To Be Different, whereas Freerotation's Leif contrasts with a fleetfooted rendition of The Face Yours Reminds Me Of. Longtime label contributor Benjamin Brunn gets the whole B-side to traverse tempos and textures and round out the emotive release.

This hand-numbered white vinyl 12" in spray-painted sleeve limited to 200 copies (comes in different coloured sleeve we cannot guarantee which one you will receive). A cold gentle cycle of soft blue, periwinkle, and hints of green. A welcoming, restful environment. Fits perfectly, quilted, plush. Comfortable, shoegaze ambient techno to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Easy care.

Today Kimochi Sound gets Baltic Sea sonar pinging techno deep, maybe something like bridging the gap between Sleeparchive and Mono Junk. There are enough hypnotic spaces and hallucinatory frequencies in these loops to tide over the dark winter months, with enough funk packed into the riddims to inspire some heated early morning grooves.

Shielding's Innerlig is viscous, densely detailed, trippy music. Dripping with texture, these are supple tunes that generously expand to fill whatever space they're in, loops stretching towards the lilac virtual horizon. Constantly mutating rhythms, heavily atmospheric grooves. RIYL Harmonious Thelonious, Jan Jelinek, Theo Parrish.

Building on his very sexy works for the Borft weirdos, Jon Doppler's Security is a meeting of Sued's minimal funk sound and the post-acid house trip of early Rephlex. The elasticized acid of Ciphertext, the skanky dub of Wonwah, and the mammoth low end of Lag Down all propel from below, while the swollen synthwork on Hot Sauce and showstopping MK650 inspire from above. These are late, late night jams that growl ominously in the bassbins, enhancing the foggy atmosphere and begging you to stay for one last dance.

Hand-numbered clear mint vinyl 12" in spray-painted sleeve limited to 200 copies (comes in different coloured sleeve, we cannot guarantee which one you will receive!
Sweltering, humid emotion permeates the gauzy atmosphere and rolling basslines on Neotnas' latest. The tracks here combine the artists' loves of junglism, 'ardcore, stoned ambience, and classic house. Taken together, it's a batch of instantly nostalgic grooves and future / past chillout rave reimaginings.
