I got into Arai through his album "Mind Edit" which was released in Europe on The Leaf Label. This was only available in Japan but it was worth the import price. Raw, chopped-up instrumental hip-hop with phat booty-shaking beats, this makes DJ Shadow look like a toddler. It loses just one star for being a bit too much like the last album.

Description
[Machine Translation] In 1999, Riow Arai made a name for himself in the Japanese club music scene as a "heretical windbreaker" with his third album "Mind Edit," whose shocking content completely overturned the preconceived notions of club and dance music and defined his career. Arai. With his numerous releases on Soup-Disk, he continues to shake up the club/dance music scene as a whole, and has established an unshakeable position as one of the few artists that Japan can now boast of in the world. Riow Arai has now taken the opportunity to move to a new label, Rebirth Music, based on the concept of "the evolution and perpetuation of breakbeats," and has decided to release a new album that is more focused on breakbeats. The album includes "break infection", which was included in the compilation album "Listening is Believing" and became a hot topic, as well as other tracks. The songs, including "break infection" and "break infection", each present various possibilities of breakbeats with tough drums and melodic sample sources, and their unique and eccentric style, which even Funkstrung ("K7" Records) has praised, has no doubt created followers anywhere in the world. The beat of Riow Arai's music is stoic and unique, with a unique pause and space created by the drums and hats, and in a sense it is almost manic, blowing away the cliched riffs of guitar and piano in a single shot. If the drums are the foundation of dance music, which is characterized by the fusion of rhythm and groove, then his one-of-a-kind musical worldview that creates incredible narcotic grooves and dramatic sound spectacles with just the drums alone is truly "the ultimate dance music created by pure drums. The ultimate dance music created by pure drums". Riow Arai is the embodiment of the evolving breakbeat genre, and his beats, which are rich in humanism, are not only for the techno, break beats, and electronica listeners who have been his main field up to now, but also for the people who have been listening to his music for years. His beats, which are rich in humanism, are not only for the Techno, Break Beats, and Electronica listeners who have been his main field so far, but also for drum musicians in both name and reality.

Raugh Machine / Riow Arai
1999年、そのあまりにも衝撃的過ぎる内容がそれまでのクラブ/ダンスミュージックにおける既成概念を根底から覆しキャリアを決定付けた3rdAlbum"Mind Edit"で一躍、日本のクラブミュージックシーンにおける「異端の風雲児」として名を轟かせたRiow Arai。★Soup-Diskからの数々のリリースにより、クラブ/ダンスミュージックシーン全体を震撼させ続け、今や日本が世界に誇る数少ないアーティストの1人として揺るぎない地位を築いている。そんなRiow Araiが満を辞して「ブレイクビーツの進化と永劫」をコンセプトに置く新レーベル「リバイアスミュージック」へレーベルを移籍、ブレイクビーツにより傾倒したニューアルバムをリリースすることが決定した。コンピレーション・アルバム" Listening is Believing "に収録され、大きな話題となった" break infection"を初めとする本楽曲群はタフなドラムとメランコリックなサンプルソースを持って各々が様々な形でブレイクビーツの可能性を提示し、あのFunkstrung(K7"Records)さえもが絶賛したフォロワーさえ生み得ないそのあまりにも独特奇抜な作風は世界のどこを探しても右に出る者は間違い無くいない。ドラムとハットが織り成す独特の間 と空間を持ってストイックかつユニークに展開して行き、ギターやピアノの陳腐なリ フなぞ一発で吹っ飛ばしてしまうある意味狂喜的とも言うべきRiow Araiのビートは ドラムという必要不可欠のリズムパートが最もグルーブ、いや音楽の根源を成していることをまざまざと証明しており、リズムとグルーブの融合を最大の特徴とするダンスミュージックの礎をドラムとするならば、そのドラムだけで信じられないような麻 薬的グルーブと劇的なサウンドスペクタクルを創造する彼の唯一無比な音楽世界観こそまさに「純然たるドラムが生み出した究極のダンスミュージック」と言えよう。進化するブレイクビーツを体現する男、Riow Arai。PC上ではなく、リアルタイムに自らの手で打ち込むことに強いこだわりを見せるドラマー出身の彼ならではのヒューマニズムに富んだそのビートはこれまでの彼のメインフィールドであったTechno、Break Beats、Electronicaリスナーはもちろん、名実共にドラムミュージ
