DSWAT/UK EXCLUSIVE!!! JAPAN IMPORT!!!

HIMURO YOSHITERU has a remarkable ability to sculpt sweet melodies and weave them into intricate beats. He?s based in Tokyo and has had a number of releases on labels such as Troop Records, Couchblip, Zod Records and French label Invitro. Himuro?s first album Nichiyobi was released in 1998 by the UK record label Worm Interface, alongside artists like Tom Jenkinson (Squarpusher) and Freeform. His releases are mostly within the electronic music genres of drum and bass, electronica, hip hop, braindance and IDM, with a significant jazz influence. His style is often described in the media as very playful. It is comprised of finely chopped, fast rhythms in combination with jazzy bass and synthesizer lines and 8bit sounds (like video game music). In this area he is one of the prominent Japanese musicians of this time. Some of his pieces have been featured on John Peel's Radio show on BBC Radio 1 and one was later released as an mp3 on the Tribute to John Peel Series, as a free download.

Album review (translated by Babelfish):

Now the work mysterious the acoustic image only HIMURO surfaces threely-dimensional 1 electro- sound is plugged!! Slow, while adding the air impression from the melody which surfaces, 1 numbers which hard beat cuts toughly, some days ago release it does 12inch and same with 8 numbers where the guitar kataoka of SMITH which is sold completely yuya participated with beautiful [shinse] and it tastes and deep melody to blend, it announces the good track/truck which keeps being wrapped!!! With 9 numbers which you recommend the joke impression the light piano and the melody which overflow resounded, the beat which bounces to tight and, were effective heavily, electro- like beat intersection, the various timbre, necessary the listening where the cool development where the trick joins is intolerable track/truck!!!! Furthermore [rotsukuteisuto] which distortion applies the introduction and hard beat weaves and the development which is formed hears and answers 14 numbers etc of story characteristic deep title tune which [shinse] which overflows resounds, all the 16 tunes of full load!!!! The HIMURO YOSHITERU world which can charm the new section!!!!
