Brilliant minimal experimentalism from two highly trusted leaders of the game appearing on Fumiya Tanaka’s Sundance imprint. While the genre may have taken some stick in recent years, it’s stuff like this that keeps it relevant in our books, as Ricardo Villalobos is a singluarly minded auteur whose skill lies in shaping individual elements with an innately funky quality that simply can’t be found elsewhere. ‘Fumiyaandric 1′ is primed for the deepest moments of the dance with Latin influenced cowbell patterns and fretting bassline warps finding their rhythm while a sublime drone envelops the whole thing in it’s own fragile ecosystem. ‘Fumiyandric 2′ is just as stripped, but this time fills the space with Fumiya’s dissected Japanese vocals slithering over the groove while an undercurrent of supple bass supports eerie samples and a hypnotic guitar riff gives something to latch on to. Villalobos releases have been thin on the ground this year but that’s no problem when he drops records of this quality. Ace.
