Hoshina Anniversary

Hot seducers. Two of them. On one 7inch. A/B Side business, hard to choose a fav, as both so fab.

The A-Side is called "Happen". It comes from prolific Tokyo based DJ and producer Hoshina Anniversary. A simple drum machine groove, a manic melody, witching siren sounds, psychedelic voices, some soft chords, and soulful high-pitched singing, somewhere between Dam-Funk coolness and Ian Svenonius-The-Make-Up sixties pop longing.

One for warm sexy nights under neon lights. 𝙊𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙘 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙨. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙥 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖 𝘿𝙤𝙡𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

Their freshly recorded version comes with haunting nonchalant singing, displaying the tunes core melody as a more prominent actor of the play. Michael-Mann-Pop-Nostalgia with a baroque touch, that waves dark-ish. Even some Jon Hassle feeling is in there. Hoshina Anniversary disclosed, that the original song is inspired by jazz musicians like Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius and Keith Jarrett.

None of them is directly stylistically audible. But their kind of blue is all over. On the A as well as on the B. Twice soul music for the free.
