The Berlin based Styles, who was once upon a time label manager of Crosstown Rebels, has also released on BPitch Control, Diamond & Pearls and Dinky’s Horizontal imprint, and has a long standing reputation for being something of a DJ’s DJ.

Aji-No-Moto sees Styles turn in drum-heavy, Chicago inspired tracks, with opening cut “Montana” also coming in stripped-back ‘bonus beat’ form. B-Side track “Hot!” bristles with a vintage Chicago bassline, while the burrowing “Sixty Ways” features a breathy vocal turn from the aforementioned Dinky.
