Description

– The Analog Vault // Essential Listening –

Sun-kissed and sumptuous tropical tunes ideal for the magic hour. This collaboration between Japanese luminaries, DJ and producer Masanori Ikeda and keyboardist Takumi Kaneko (from Jazzy Sports Cro-Magnon), is a picturesque Baleriac wonder, evoking balmy images of seaside lounge-arounds – a gentle breeze on your face and a coconut rum punch in your hand. Highlights include deft covers of Ralph McDonald`s East Dry River and Azymuth`s Last Summer In Rio, alongside divine downtempo cuts such as “Sunset Reflection,” “Coastline,” “Half Moon Shadow” and “Down Town”. Ikedas beatific beats are the sandy and head-noddy complements the melodic sophistication of Kanekos keys – combining to create laidback and uplifting fusions of house, future jazz, nu-disco and bossa nova. – The Analog Vault
