Check out this upcoming EP from Lost My Dog label, it's new YSE and his excellent deep tech A Life Sentience EP. When a songwriter, producer, composer and DJ of the calibre of Atjazz states: “You’ve blown my socks off mate...I'm all the f*ck over this record, the whole thing is a classic in the making” you know you’ve got a special record on your hands! Therefore Lost My Dog are delighted, in fact, over-the-friggin-moon to present Yse’s ‘A Life Sentience EP’. Yse (pronounced ‘Eese’ dontchaknow) is back on the imprint recently described by DMC Update as “the UK’s best house label” after a break of far too long. Perhaps best known as one half of deep house duo Rhythm Plate, Ant Plate aka Yse delivers his 3rd original EP for LMD and, as with the previous two, it’s another absolute corker. ‘Worry’ features the talents of Beckford, a veteran Birmingham based vocalist, and sees rhodes-driven deep house meet early 90’s rave. DJ Bene, a young producer from Georgia provides a remix after contacting Yse via Myspace. ‘Things Never Said’ is a bouncing deep house number that picks up where Yse’s previous release ‘Bounce Back’ left off, and ‘Disappear’ is warm deep house drenched in sweeping pads with a spoken word.

Junichi Hoshino is one of the most revered producers working in Tokyo today. Under his alias, Tokyo Counterpoint, he has mixed disparate styles into one intoxicating musical brew. Originally producing and remixing tracks for some of Japan’s biggest J-Pop acts, he has stretched out into uncharted territory with Tokyo Counterpoint’s brilliant “Oval”. Working under the Tokyo Counterpoint alias since 2004, Junichi Hoshino’s blends breezy bossa nova bounce with ethereal jazz-tinged electronica, defying genres and transcending labels. From the opening notes of “To the Sky”, Junichi Hoshino takes the listener on a highflying aural journey to the stars and back. With majestic piano, bright summer beats and understatedly funky bass, “To the Sky” announces Hoshino’s stately vision of silky smooth grooves. One of the undeniable highlights of the song is the vocals of Japanese chanteuse WAWA. Her vocal range is as sprawling as Junichi Hoshino’s musical pallet, her voice capable of high-pitched cascades and lower register phrasing. Other highlights of the album are the rhythmically intoxicating “Twist of Fate”, the driving “Sine and Pulse” and the delicately grooving “Grandism”.
