COLOURED VINYL! Yoshihiro Hanno aka Radiq is a highly acclaimed musician and composer from Japan, now living and working between Tokyo and Paris. He did releases on imprints like Sub Rosa, Logistic and Progressive Form. Hanno worked with the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra as well as Arto Lindsey or Ryuichi Sakamoto. Besides he got international fame as a composer for different film scores including work with Asian movie master Hou Hsiao-Hsien and film director Jia Zhang-ke. Radiq is since some time well aligned with the Philpot Camp. When he and SoulPhiction met again last year during the Philpot Tour in Japan, co-operation was affirmed and tracks were committed. Two of those funky nuggets are released here, one coming with a brilliant SoulPhiction remix treatment. “Thanks for purchasing a real copy!”

DE:BUG 140 / Bleed: “Yoshihiro Hanno begleitet uns ja schon mehr als ein Jahrzehnt und die neue EP auf Philpot hat nichts von der abseitigen Faszination verloren, die seine Tracks immer wieder auszeichnen. Brilliante deepe extrem funkbasierte Housetracks mit sanften bluesigen Anklängen, die einen aber auch in die Weite der galaktischen Afrodiaspora treiben können und ihren Sound wirklich klingen lassen, nicht so wie einen kurzen Ausflug ins Genre. Der Remix von SoulPhiction reduziert das nochmal mit einer Bonusportion Detroit Anklängen und brummig warmem allesumschlingenden Bass. Perfekter Philpotsound.”
