On Amadeus, the latest Ghostly effort from New York’s Lord RAJA, the shapeshifting producer answers his own question with a cunning, childlike purity not felt since he started tinkering with Fruity Loops aged six. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough his means of music-making have matured since then—on Amadeus he utilizes an arsenal of drum machines along with synthesizers and an Allen \u0026amp; Heath analog mixer slammed through for extra crunch—RAJA describes a deliberate return to youthful experimentation and immediacy, clearing the way for a “vista to his childhood.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLongtime fans of the producer may be accustomed to productions more directly aligned with hip-hop and leftfield beats, but his swagger hasn’t gone anywhere despite the decidedly dancier change of form. The release is bookended by an exuberant and naturally collaborative piece with AceMo—a fellow New Yorker whom RAJA describes as his favorite producer—and bonus track “Fox Den,” an eight-minute cosmic meander released as part of the Adult Swim singles series last year. On standout “O.K” his customary percussive potpourri mingles with vocal chops and an electro bounce even the most humorless club patron couldn’t resist. “Black Coffee,” another highlight, features synth lines so darkly acidic they should come with toxic warnings. RAJA describes the track title as a literal take - a soundtrack to jolt first date jitters, a call to cool courage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmadeus, meanwhile, he suggests is a cheeky nod to the complex richness of his musical heritage. He says, “I think it’s kinda funny to flip an idea of western imperialism and how it proliferated.

I released my second LP; I played nearly 180 shows in 360 days; I made the move back home from Brooklyn, NY to Detroit, MI; a six-year relationship of mine came to an end and I made it 30 years on the planet.\" The music of Zach Saginaw, aka Shigeto, has always been deeply rooted in his personal history. His debut EPs Semi-Circle and What We Held Onto explored his grandmother’s experience from a US internment camp through ambient, beat driven tracks, nostalgic melodies and spliced vocal samples, including his grandmother’s vocals. His debut album Full Circle became a culmination of these EPs and further refinement of obsessive field recording and meticulous percussion, creating lush, sumptuous instrumental hip-hop. 2012’s sophomore album Lineage was a musical journey through his heritage combined with the sounds of jazz, hip-hop, funk and folk. The cover of his great grandfather's house in Hiroshima even adorned the Lineage artwork. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e For all that Saginaw reveres his connections to his past, however, his new album seems very much about the idea of living in the moment. The signs of this idea are all over No Better Time Than Now — from the obvious connotations of the album title, through song titles that seem harbingers of change and immediacy (\"First Saturn Return\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e,\" \"Soul Searching\") to the music itself. It's an album that reflects a pivotal year in the life of its creator. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This sense of the restless vigor that change can bring is palpable throughout No Better Time Than Now. Fans of Shigeto's previous work will find all the hallmarks of his sound here — the warm, inviting washes of liquid synth sounds, the intricate production, the jazz-influenced arrangements. Now, however, they're imbued with a subtle energy — \"Detroit Part 1,\" for instance, features a surprisingly pounding hip hop beat, while \"Ringleader\" is propelled by an insistent hi-hat pattern that sits slightly ahead of the beat, giving the track a driving mood that belies its tempo. Even the quieter tracks retain a certain sense of urgency — the aforementioned \"Soul Searching,\" for instance, is a track that sounds just as reflective as its name might suggest, but it's kept from drifting too far into introspection by a powerful, echo-laden beat. The title track starts out in a similarly pensive vein, but builds slowly into a storm of fuzzy synth sounds and clattering drums. Even the penultimate \"Silver Lining,\" a quietly beautiful mixture of Shigeto’s evocative vocals and tinkling electric piano, features one of the punchier kickdrum sounds you'll ever hear. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Despite its origins in change and unrest, No Better Time Than Now is ultimately a positive work: \"The last year was definitely a significant turning point in my life both musically and personally,\" Saginaw says, \"but life has its way of working things out in the strangest of ways. I spent most of the year traveling and that gave me a lot of time to think. I got to know myself a lot better and that helped me be more honest with myself… that helped me write more honest music and gave me inspiration and excitement for the future.\" \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This sense of internal reflection and confidence imbues every moment of this record. As Saginaw says, \"I feel when things change so much so fast, you are forced to look at what is right in front of you… [to] look at what's happening in the moment, [which] sometimes helps you embrace that moment. These songs are that for me. Don't sleep on a feeling. If it feels right it is. We say life is 'short,' but [we] know it feels 'long,' so when you have a chance to be honest with yourself, take it — there is no better time than now.\" No better time, indeed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/62tmAcovHK4IMrHxNO3h0s\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":40895233851568,"sku":"DCD-SGONBT","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/1759\/0704\/files\/Shigeto-NoBetterTimeThanNow_CD.png?v=1694205251"},{"product_id":"mux-mool-partly-cloudy","title":"Mux Mool - Partly Cloudy (Cassette)","description":"Mux Mool lets the music breath on Partly Cloudy.

A staple in Detroit's underground beat scene, Pastel Arsenal's sound hovers somewhere between lush downtempo electronic and fuzz-heavy instrumental hip-hop. Live, his minimalist MIDI performances bump with finesse, made unique by improvised live remixes and complimented with the warmth of a SP-404. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If You Want To\" is Pastel's first official release since his 2014 EP \"Fields.\" The album balances synth, jazz, funk and hip-hop sounds. Regarding the influences for the album, Pastel states “I was listening to a lot of George Duke, Alan Hawkshaw library tracks, Devonwho, Gleen Astro and getting back into Parliament around that time. I don’t generally go for a particular sound when writing tracks, but all of those influences definitely affected the sound.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBesides composing and producing the album, Pastel also served as audio engineer, both mixing and mastering the 8-song project. At a tight 20 minutes in the length, If You Want To doesn’t waste time and quickly builds momentum from one song to the next. Although some of the tracks barley last over a minute, they never feel too short and make an impact without over-looped sections or filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2kmM4zsZfRUpMNsxN6GnpV\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Young Heavy Souls","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":42813564485808,"sku":"YCD-PAIYW","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/1759\/0704\/files\/PastelArsenalIfYouWanttO2xCD.jpg?v=1712242084"},{"product_id":"epicure-in-my-minds-eye-cd","title":"Epicure - In My Mind's Eye (CD)","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eCD of Epicure's release \"In My Mind's Eye\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3BSIncoFDu2Zbl1kPSCuHR\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Young Heavy Souls","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":42813739958448,"sku":"YCD-EPIME","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/1759\/0704\/files\/Epicure-InMyMind_sEye_CD.png?v=1694457748"},{"product_id":"minutes-unlimited-gang-ep-8","title":"Minutes Unlimited - Gang EP (7\")","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eProduced at the tail-end of 2019 and originally slated as Record Store Day 2020 release, Minutes Unlimited \u0026amp; Young Heavy Souls proudly present the Gang EP, a 15-minute beat conditioning where East Coast rawness meets West Coast funk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eUtilizing their unfadeable MS-20, SP-1200, Moog Prodigy, and Juno-106 combined with advanced computer software, producers Eliot Lipp \u0026amp; Michna continue to deliver their built from scratch spirit when crafting songs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the record, the duo insert hi-def easter eggs in the form of re-sampling themselves capped with on-brand hidden vaporludes.\u003cbr\u003eGang EP takes you to a gritty place where absolutely no one receives Special Treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe height=\"380\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5JytHewfVtt6E5zleBkGVb\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Young Heavy Souls","offers":[{"title":"7\" Vinyl","offer_id":42813791600816,"sku":"YSI-MING","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/1759\/0704\/files\/Minutes_Gang_EP_7_2522_c06bc5ec-79b2-4758-98b9-e5ed3e579af6.jpg?v=1694460461"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.youngheavysouls.com\/collections\/electronic.oembed","provider":"YHS Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
