Ryota OPP
Bop EP
About this item
Tokyo's Encryptnude label returns, with another carefully crafted Ryota OPP selection! Following on from the shamanic feel of his previous work, this 12" also exudes non-dance music psychedelia.
'African Chorus' and 'Kalimba Guitar' on side A create a melodic, spiritual, hi-life feel reminiscent of Wally Badarou on Quaaludes.
'Bop' on side B, beautifully blends dub and free jazz, creating a leftfield dance sound reminiscent of African Head Charge, Claussell's Sacred Rhythm or Frank Zappa's 'Nine Types Of Industrial Pollution' turned deep house. .
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Another thoughtful and sublime take on electronica from this Japanese modernist which possesses a strong Reichian element, paired nicely with the producer's delicate touch.
