#23 Feat. Staff Picks in Bass / Club

A distinct blend of Nikki Nair and Foodmans musical styles, Nagoya EP started life in March when Nikki, on tour in Japan, visited Foodman, and they started to build tracks together. Later, across the net, they continued working up the material, which is flavoured as much by the memory of their days socialising together in Nagoya is it is by their time in the studio. Sorry I Lost My Glasses In The Public Bathhouse is the wild opener, Nikkis chopped and edited live drumming gives the rhythm an off kilter, jungle-like feel, switching around a strange, alien melody and occasional soft chords that in combination exude unusual energy. Deep Miso has sparse dizzying drums, chasing hiccuping sounds around the speakers, until it finally resolves over a single held chord.
