Sounds LikeYAMASAKI.
His sounds are steeped in the greats like Hancock, Coltrane and Gil Scott- Heron they are also intrinsically linked to the lure of modern Jazz and Funk. It takes the sterling early nineties work of the Acid Jazz label and builds upon it yet again.

red track reviews

His music seamlessly blends jazz, soul, and big beat breaks into tracks that seriously make you want to get up and groove along with the beats. Save on that vacation to the Bahamas by simply buying a Yamasaki track, loading it into your iPod, throwing on your headphones, standing in a sandbox, and youll swear you were in the tropics.

Yamasaki blends the sounds of; funk, soul, big-beat, and jazz, to create his lounge trip-hop style. Any of the Yamasaki tracks could be the soundtrack to a summer vacation. Imagine a consistently lounge sounding version of Fat Boy Slim, but signed to Ninja Tune, then you might be somewhere close to knowing what Yamasaki sounds like.

Yamasaki - High Tide

I am writer, producer and solo artist Tom Edwards best known as YAMASAKI. 2006 & 2007 has been a great time for me, last year I picked up my first record deal and went on to release albums and EP's with both Just Joe Records and Criminal Recordz, two outstanding independent labels as Yamasaki I have continued to build momentum, working with many great artists along the way (such as Emeson, Echo Armande & the mighty Hiperik and Austin O'Brien) defining my sound and moving onwards and upwards. 2006 saw the release of my debut EP Deep Six and 2007 has seen the release of my first CD Boston Neck to rave reviews........ "an awesome beat creating sound guru who is forever innovative in his approach to music" Yamasaki has enjoyed album releases with the independent labels Criminal Recordz and Just Joe as well as achieving underground acclaim and radio play in 3 continents (including having his tracks feature on Scott Mills show on BBC Radio 1 and The Jazz Suite & Soul Travels Radio in the USA). The Yamasaki sound is "steeped in the greats like Hancock, Coltrane and Gil Scott-Heron, they are also intrinsically linked to the lure of modern Jazz and Funk. It takes the sterling early nineties work of the Acid Jazz label and builds upon it yet again" (Robert McNamara, Redtrackmusic). Yamasaki blends the sounds of funk, soul, big-beat, and jazz, into tracks that seriously make you want to get up and groove along with the beat. Any of the Yamasaki tracks could be the soundtrack to a summer vacation.

RESTORATION
"Captain Power E.P"

Restoration Record’ s highly awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up this hard times. Captain Power and the soldiers of the future will lead the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom. Humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.

THIRD SIDE is the new operative group of Restoration, formed by MARIEU, LUCRETIO and by resident dj of Panorama Bar STEFFI (Klakson/Ostgut Ton).“Ready to Dance” is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but minimalistic at the same time. Very essential in its build-up, its bass line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. We are ready to dance, it’s time to jack!
ANALOGUE COPS.. "Chamber" is a strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. Rushing percussions, piercy hi-hats, a breathless progression. An experiment which turns into a solid club tack.

On side B, “Still me” represents LUCRETIO’s vocation to neoclassicism. The time disappears and a gospel organ full of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on Planet Earth. Dramatic and sweet, it’s evocative and hopeful. LUCRETIO’s track on Rst006 appears on Tama Sumo’s “Panorama Bar - Mix Cd”.
“Mauzy” is MARIEU deepest track on Restoration. Beat-down smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp cymbals, a praising voice. A track for a spiritual elevation, a track to dance until the last second. A track to listen to a million of times.

out now.limited edition: 300 copies.
now you can find it at HARDWAX: http://hardwax.com/59665/ or at decks.de
or in the record shop of your neighbourhood...and if your record shop don't know us...juts let him know...

Hi there, 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! Enjoy, B&W Orange
