Review: First released back in 2021, Belgian-Japanese artist Ailli's debut EP - a collaboration with another hotly-tipped Belgian producer, Transistorcake - returns in expanded form. Fittingly, this new edition adds a wealth of unheard remixes from Japanese artists. There's plenty to set the pulse racing among the five original tracks on show, including the low-slung, dubbed-out psych-disco chug of 'Dansu', the sparkling Italo-disco revivalism of acid-fired throb-job 'Oki', and the immersive, dawn-ready dreaminess of 'Genki'. Remix wise,Shinichi Osawa's TB-303 powered acid house take on 'Dansu' is superb, Narkiaki's Maurice Fulton-esque tweak of 'Pari Pari' is a treat, and the Stones Taro revision of solo Aili tune 'Toki-Doki' is an impossible-to-pigeonhole, groove-driven delight. In a word: essential!
