Cold Busted’s acclaimed IWYMI series makes the jump to vinyl with a
four song IWYMI INTNl 7” (It’s What You Make It International)” focusing
on Japanese beatmakers. Curated by Es-K and Vitamin D, the single
aims to expose a quartet of worthy producers from the Land of the Rising
Sun to turntables worldwide. EN Tokyo’s Pigeondust launches the wax
with his smooth and sexy “Bboy Blue,” flled with glistening keys and
guitar chops over intricate rhythms. The lilting “Inheritance” comes next
via Utsunomiya’s Axion117 (Collective Resonance), easing the listener
into a quiet storm mentality. The mesmerizing vibes continue as Tokyobased beat-slinger Bugseed drops the dreamy “Mindless” straight to the
platter. Tajima Hal (Hermit City Recordings) closes out the single in style
with “All Day,” featuring cut-up beats, looped guitar and vocals, and an
otherworldly ?avor. The IWYMI INTNl: Japan 7” is a prime sampler of
the innovative sounds coming from Japan’s instrumental hip-hop scene |
