{"product_id":"hoshina-anniversary-hisyochi-new-vinyl","title":"Hoshina Anniversary - Hisyochi (New Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHoshina Anniversary offers a new LP of fluid, alchemical dance music in the shape of Hisyochi, on Impatience. Moving well beyond the initial influence of jazz fusion, electronica and his Japanese heritage, Hoshina Anniversary continues to carve deeper into his own cosm, and Hisyochi arguably represents this prolific producer at his most singular, refined and potent yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith nowhere to go and little to do, Hoshina was making music at a seemingly unstoppable torrent throughout the pandemic, sometimes sketching close to 100 tracks in any given month. Opening up a session from a previous track, he would erase all but one element, using it as a starting point for a completely new experiment, lending the body of work a subtle yet tangible coherence. Hisyochi was pieced together from a swathe of productions that came out of a particularly fertile period in the first half of 2021, which also birthed his recent release on Patience, Hyakunin Isshu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRoughly translating to “somewhere cool to relax during a hot summer” according to Hoshina, Hisyochi transcends seasons but undoubtedly runs hot. Drum patterns are crisp, varied and invariably body-moving, basslines ascend at vertigo-inducing velocity, and dimly-lit jazz-bar piano is often the only element anchoring the sound to terra firma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFollowing the plaintive, palette cleansing introduction of Rakka, Irahu plots the course with a light arpeggiator over a chugging rhythm before a warbly piano line to creeps in the back door. Misebayana is a jolt of gyrating mutant dance, part video game suspense and part footwork for drums and koto, while Kokoro no Heisei (Peace Of Mind) sees Hoshina deliver a salvo to stillness over a meandering, dubby spacewalk. Roman is an invigorating cut of warped dancehall tango, while the closing title track perfectly encapsulates the essence of the record and Hoshina Anniversary in 2022 in one elegant, acidic rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHoshina Anniversary is Yoshinobu Hoshina, from Hachioji, outside of Tokyo. He’s released records as Hoshina Anniversary on ESP Institute, Alien Jams and Youth, under his Suemori moniker for Osare! Editions and as Shifting Gears for Toucan Sounds, amongst others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHisyochi was written, produced and mixed by Hoshina Anniversary. It was mastered by Josh Bonati in NYC, and artwork is by Luca Schenardi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rush Hour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44122237796583,"sku":"123608","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0094\/8718\/8015\/products\/Hoshina-Anniversary-Hisyochi-New-Vinyl.jpg?v=1745574189","url":"https:\/\/www.sonicboommusic.com\/products\/hoshina-anniversary-hisyochi-new-vinyl","provider":"Sonic Boom Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
