COEO Tonic Edits Vol. 6 (The Japan Reworks)Format : 12" Label : Toy Tonics Catalog # : toyt096 Genre : House Coeo have been travelling in Japan and discovered the magic of City Pop: That Japanese Disco movement of the 1980ies. Back then there were amazing dance tracks coming out of Japan. Some with Japanese lyrics others with American vocals. Often so perfectly played and recorded that it was hard to tell if the music came out of NYC basement studios or for real Asiatic studio musicians. Coeo

rework and re-rework bore new fruit

minimalistic beats and layered melodies

and Caribbean ‘soca-soul’ for your enjoyment - and bound to fit well into modern

afro track that will get the house dancers throwing down

and yet the sonic architecture of the whole feels both planned and refined

This was also a way to put OTODI on the path of a more heavily hued funk sound- the backbone of which maintains flexibility and agility when moving over to highlife

Like all albums prior to Mordechai

the trio Metá Metá’s Metá Metá (2011) and MetaL MetaL (2012)

rich in orchestrations of keyboards

internal and aesthetic battles which brokered ‘LXXXVIII'’’s creation
