Charkha Discs 5: Face To Face

As we carry on face to face, even thru screens and windows, here are some sounds that calm and suppress. From artists who are always looking for new futures, creating sonic worlds where tactile instruments sound plastic, where machines mimic and replicate environmental fluidity and frailty. First 30 bubbles up gently, with contemporary artists Yu Su, D.K, DJ Wave dancing between conceptions of left-field and groove. Moving into a steady groove the sweet UK translation of street soul bangs against the shimmer and bubble of Japanese city pop. Eventually we are dropped at the feet of Taeko Ohnuki and Ichiko Hashimoto. 'Opening The Door Of The Heaven, There Overflowed The Orange Shine'.
