AFTERLIFE (STEVE MILLER)
"Really fresh and nu style but gentle also. Lovely!"
“確固たる証拠”という意味を持つVALID EVIDENCEは、二人の日本人から成るプロジェクト。ピアノを基軸にしたクラブ・サウンドは、現代版ジャズマスターズ、あるいはシャカタクといった体裁を取りながらも、過去のクラブ・クラシックへのオマージュが散りばめられているので、ハウス・ミュージック・ラヴァーならニヤリとする箇所がてんこ盛り。サウンドも幅広く、ハウスだけでなく、ブレイクス、ダウンテンポ、ラウンジ、チルアウト．．．と様々な音楽的要素を含有している。サウンドをクリエイトするのは、フロア系サウンドだけでなく、AMBROZIAなどの名義でチルアウト・スタッフでも世界的に評価の高いDJ 19と、ヒーリング・ミュージックを別名義にて活動している新進気鋭のクリエイターであるYU-TA。VALID EVIDENCEとしては、舞台音楽の制作などを手掛けている。このアルバムからは、先行して「SHOW ME THE WAY」が海外のコンピレーションにピックアップされ、遂に満を持して2008年11月19日にデビュー・アルバム『This Is A Journey Into Sound』をVILLAGE AGAINからドロップした。
Valid Evidence hails from Tokyo and is a production duo, DJ 19 & YU-TA. Named checked by the likes of Afterlife already. This is a collection of beautiful piano sounds that are reminiscent of the Cafe Del Mar compilations. VALID EVIDENCE is pure sea-soaked melancholy-and has no doubt proven the perfect accompaniment to a thousand Balearic tequila sunrises, sitting somewhere between smooth jazz king's JAZZMASTERS and SHAKATAK's fusion sound to modern life, sounds like the sophisticated European cousin of that Japanese traditional sound, and some house essence. You can feel the same texture of CHICANE, BT, RYUIICHI SAKAMOTO and off course JAZZMASTERS. If this doesn't put a glow in the hearth of your heart to see you through those long winter nights then nothing will. Their debut abum『This Is A Journey Into Sound』was out through VILLAGE AGAIN on Nov. 19th.

listen to our latest release [BWO027] SAX SECRETS - KLANGFREQUENZ FT YVES LE FRANC supported by Tim Green, Dean Facer, Paul Loraine, Tony Rodriguez, Igor Marijuan, Kiko Martinez and many more!! Sambuca surely shows more the deep, melodic but very stylish side of Deep House music whereas Klangfrequenz' remix of E-Wozz' original track Gwada is a more pumpy and drum orientated display of playful Tech House. Watch out for these tracks, it's a great way to release the warm summer feelings once more before the winter delivers the opposite!

“Essence” compilations have attained legendary status in Japanese club scene due to them being the first DJ compilations which released regular basis. Before “Essence” came to prominence in the Japanese market, compilations involving dance music were more cheesy ‘This Is Dance Music 199x’-type-ventures. These releases were a summary of the biggest dance hits of the year and failed to hit the mark when it came to showcasing what was really going on in Japanese underground clubs. Hence, in 1999 DJ 19 decided to make a compilation that gave focus to genres such as Trance(Progressive), Warp House (Hard House) and Chillout(Downtempo). As a result of this groundbreaking marketing, “Trance Essence Edge2” sold over 20,000 copies only in Japan! After 2003 the Essence series took a much-needed break after releasing 10 CDs. Fast forward to 2009. Seminal Japanese underground electronic dance music label 19BOX RECORDINGS is celebrating its 10th anniversary, so what a better way than to bring back the series that helped launch the label? “Essence” is back. The first release is "Essenc - Chillout Sessions -", which is compiled by 19Box label head honcho, DJ 19. It features 10 Balearic moods and grooves of utmost quality. Most of the tracks are unreleased and pack the expected punch that comes with the “Essence” series. Furthermore, this return sees DJ 19 provide tracks under his DJ 19, AMBROZIA and VALID EVIDENCE monikers. Lastly, this CD includes a fantastic cover version of SHAKATAK's "Night Birds". Out on June 25th at beatport.
