about

Umeko Ando (1932-2004) recorded "Iuta Upopo" in 2003, the original track has been produced by Oki Kano (Oki Dub Ainu Band).

“Upopo” is the name of a particular singing style which involves repetition, while “Iuta” simply means song. Umeko Ando performs this minimalistic vocal in a brittle, emotional manner which is framed by a slow, percussive pulse and Oki’s Tonkori patterns (the Tonkori is a string instrument of the Ainu).

When Pingipung’s Andi Otto toured Japan in 2017, he came across this enchanting, folkloristic and danceable song in a DJ set of a friend. He made contact with Oki Kano who agreed to license the track from his own label Chikar Studio. It is pressed on vinyl for the first time. This single is part of Pingipung’s ongoing Concentrical Series of 7inches.

We are very pleased to have a M.Rux Remix on the B side. He is not only a brilliant original producer, as his EP “In the Hold” (YNFND 2016) has proved; his claim to fame is a sublime collection of edits & cuts (for free on his bandcamp) which skillfully takes classics by Nina Simone, Townes Van Zandt and others to the slowhouse dancefloor.
His remix adds a gliding subbass, a kickdrum and occasional claps to the enhanced percussive structures of the original. Umeko Ando’s vocals adapt seamlessly to M.Rux’s powerful electronic production.

1曲目雨を思わせる背景音がムードを形成いいねっ。一番最初に聞いたときがまさに雨の夜に外に出ようというタイミングだった。あとでよく晴れた昼に聞いたとき、その雨の夜を思い出し、二重状態に…。シンプルに音楽の魔法を感じる。 8曲目歪んだサウンドとトボけたフレーズがゆるやかにpanしてディレイが昼でも夜でも酩酊千鳥足でいいねっ。 9曲目 yolatengoを思わせるトーンがいいねっ。yolatengo大好きなもんで…。 iwamoog
