Review: Japanese producer Takuya Matsumoto makes a triumphant return to Clone's esteemed Jack For Daze label with his latest offering, following the resounding success of his highly acclaimed EP, '85-88.' In this captivating release, Matsumoto pays homage to the early days of house and techno, delving into specific eras and their unique sonic landscapes. The EP showcases Matsumoto's prowess in creating immersive deep house compositions, richly adorned with FM textures, as evident in the mesmerizing "90". Venturing further, we are treated to captivating and edgy jackin' techno soundscapes that open up like intriguing wormholes on "91". "92" maintains an infectious bounce while embracing lush layers of synth, creating an irresistible fusion. Finally, "93" takes us back in time, reminiscent of the nostalgic garage house sound that once dominated the iconic Strictly Rhythm records from three decades ago. Matsumoto's latest EP stands as a testament to his undeniable talent and cements his position as a visionary producer within the contemporary electronic music landscape.
Review: Takuya Matsumoto's tribute to the heydaze with four beautifully crafted tracks. Touching all the bases of influence from the early years of House Music. This EP takes us all the way back...Infectious, FM-oody, and laden with pitched-down coke-crazed vocals, this one charts the earliest era of house and its sound, emulating it to a T, except without any 303. Gee!
