Futatsudomoe EP

[Machine Translation] A collaboration EP of 5 tracks by a house maestro and a young spearhead rapper, both born and raised in Kanazawa! Two groups, each continuing their individual musical activities under the harsh cold weather of the Hokuriku region. One is tanaka scat, a trackmaker specializing in detroit house. On the other side is t.kawada as PHOENIX, a rapper who is rumored to be the spearhead of the young generation. While their live performances are sure to get the party going, their recordings are often recorded in the dark, dancing alone in silence. These two groups with such unique personalities have now fused together to create a miraculous cross fade. Opening with M1, a unique ethereal loop, t.kawada responds to tanaka scat's four beat track, which is completely designed for the floor, with a flow that sometimes intertwines and at other times seems to push him away. Introspective and liberating at the same time, the EP is an EP without abandon. All together, this is the first collaboration of its kind! Mastering was done by CARREC, one of the most important figures in the Kanazawa hip-hop scene, and the jacket was designed by designer uddy, who has done artwork for past works by t.kawada as PHOENIX and his own brand "ysobad".

金沢生まれ金沢育ち、ハウスマエストロと若手急先鋒ラッパーによる全5曲の全力投球コラボEP! 北陸の厳しい寒空の下、それぞれ個人で音楽活動を続けている2組。片やデトロイティッシュなハウスを得意とするトラックメイカー・tanaka scat。もう一方は若手急先鋒と噂されるラッパー・t.kawada as PHOENIX。ライブではパーティーの盛り上げ役として確実にフロアを沸かしつつ、その録音作品では薄暗いもやの中黙々と1人で踊る・・・自らの孤独と向き合うような作風を持ち合わせる。そんな独自の個性を放つ2組がこのたび融合、奇跡のクロスフェードを果たした。独特な幽玄ループのM1で幕を開け、tanaka scatの駆使する完全フロア仕様の4つ打ちトラックに、t.kawadaが時に絡みつき、ときに突き放すようなフロウで応える。内省的なようで解放的、EPながら捨て曲なし。すべてがっぷり四つの初合作集がここに完成! マスタリングは金沢のヒップホップシーンの最重要人物CARRECが、ジャケットに過去のt.kawada as PHOENIX作品のアートワークや自身のブランド「ysobad」を仕掛けるデザイナーuddyが担当。
