As a DJ, I'll be sharing the "sounds" that catch my ear each day—or perhaps the things and people that evoke sound. My hope is that we can weave more music into our lives, much like fashion, art, or fine food and drink, creating opportunities to enrich our lives just a little.
Being as a DJ, I'm introducing some "Sounds" (or something or persons that I feel the "Sound" from) in here, such as fashion, art, good drink and food, I hope we can put some more music in our lives so as to make it a little bit more satisfying.
Quasimode / The Land of Freedom (Geneon)
Quasimode (クオシモード) burst onto the scene as a Japanese club jazz band, following in the footsteps of Sleep Walker and Soil & "Pimp" Sessions. Their 2006 releases, the 12-inch singles "Down In The Village" and "Ipe Amarelo" on Sweden's Raw Fusion label, became smash hits in clubs worldwide. Simultaneously, their debut album, "oneself-LIKENESS," garnered significant attention.
This unconventional quartet—drums, bass, keyboards, and percussion—blends the rhythms of dance music with a foundation in 60s and 70s jazz, presenting it as contemporary music.
This rising generation of talent, known for their flexible approach of incorporating guest artists into their songs, is set to make their major label debut this autumn with their highly anticipated second album. Featuring guests such as Carmen Lundy, a gifted vocalist, actress, and painter, and Masato Nakamura, saxophonist for Sleep Walker, the album...
...is a work brimming with enhanced expressiveness and overflowing with energy.
I'm eagerly awaiting the release of "The Land of Freedom," which includes a cover of my favorite song, "Time Is Love."
