Kihon Ido Japan Vinyl & CDs

Review: Kihon Ido is a brand new Japan-based label whose name translates as 'Fundamental Movements' and we're told it is here to focus on timeless dance music by exploring foundational sounds across styles and eras. Its debut release from Extra delves into deep, hypnotic and textured techno from the off. 'Visigoth' is a sophisticated blend of atmospheric layers and smudged dub chords - it's music that transcends the dance floor trends while remaining immersive and evocative. The other cuts explore more smooth and loopy DJ Nobu style cuts with 'Full Circle' offering a more playful and light melodic sound.
