"This visual component here is a recreation of the visual performance that accompanied The Five Elements live. It is a collaboration between two visual artists - Videographer Kohei Makita works with material taken by photographer Mitsuaki Koshizuka in Togakushi. At the actual live performance, a reed screen was set up in front of the stage and the video projected onto it with real-time effects.
In her own words: “I made this set entitled "The Five Elements" under the theme of the yin-yang five elements, because I felt that the venue Togakushi village, which is a time-honored sacred ground, has the energy of those elements. In the theory of the five elements, it is considered that the natural world circulates in harmony by keeping the balance of the five elements that influence each other. I visited Togakushi beforehand and recorded various sound materials associated with the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), and composed music by using them while trying to find a balance between the organic natural sounds and the artificial electronic sounds, which also based on one of the common themes of my expression - harmony and contrast of order and chaos.”"

Keep coming back to part 2 of a 3 piece series put together by Natureboy aka Milo Johnson, ex-Wild Bunch, who moved from Bristol to NY aeons ago (when thinking about Caribbean roots in the latter city). No idea if it‘s vinyl only or a mix of records and digi but god damn it’s addictive

Semi irrelevant bio when you can funnel so many thumping mid-tempo chug monsters into 4 hours and still leave you rewinding tracks to double or triple dose you ears, talk about cherry picking other people’s sets

One of a small handful of people still capable of transcendent 4/4 mixes, cuts and pastes or goes longer transitionally, mad key matches, can work around all the tricks of momentum but most of all it slaps hard as a groove feast. If you ever see DJ Nature listed at an event near you get the fuck in

In the summer of 2012, Onra & Lexis joined forces to tackle a project based on a music period they both love so much. That brief period from approximately ’93 to ’96: the New Jack Swing sound got dated and soulful club music became much closer to the Hip-Hop productions of the time to create this Urban R’n’B type of music.

We simply call this era the “Throw Em’ Up” period in reference to the way that everyone in clubs and videos was vibin’ to these tracks: just throw up both your arms and wave them around nonchalantly (if possible with a champagne glass). The selection rules we followed for Vol. 2 are simple: #1: Soul artists featuring MC’s are ok, but not the other way around. #2: All of the picks have to pass the “throw em’ up” dance test, which means: no New Jack Swing stuff, no Timbaland because although Timbo is a genius it’s really a different kind of sound which shaped the late 90′s / early 2000′s sound.

I've only listened to vol2 but its quality, check the tl!

In 2014, his second book, a study of the Oasis album Definitely Maybe, was published in Bloomsbury's 33⅓ series.[9] The Times Literary Supplement praised its "convincing modulation between a discussion of the post-Thatcher north-west England that informed Oasis's early lyrics, and the finer points of pentatonic and mixolydian melody governing Noel Gallagher's early songwriting".[10]

Bluegrass is mixolydian-heavy world (just put mixolydian scales into YT and you have ears developed enough to instantly recognise the emphasis) but throw in minor pentatonic pivots and you have chord changes which feature in a raft of Aosis songs
