PAPERKRAFT レコード& CD

Review: Get ready to ride a cosmic wave of progressive sounds and speedy acid baselines with these new sounds from Osaka's enigmatic Ryunosuke Tahara, aka Paperkraft. For the past decade, this Japanese producer and DJ has been hard at work crafting the beautiful four-track EP 'Acid Asia' and it opens with 'P Spectrum,' a psy-trance anthem packed with ravy sounds, fast beats and potent acid bass. The title track explores a cruising house groove and melodies from the Land of the Rising Sun. On the B-side, 'Munchakoopas' offers sweet melodies next to edgy acid synths, and a nod to Yoshi, the legendary Nintendo character. 'Cosmic Flower' shuts down with strong percussion and psytrance vocals that will leave you entranced.
