Japan’s Sound Of Speed has been around since 2000. Starting with an LP by a little someone called Jimpster, the label has progressed slowly, preferring to release music of a high calibre instead of constant singles and digital downloads. This time, we’re treated to our favourite Ukrainian, Vakula, and Kuniyuki, a Japanese deep house producer who has been closely affiliated to his native Mule Musiq since 2005. Kuniyuki kicks things off with his version of “Session North #1”, a triumphant parade of growling basslines, beautifully intricate melodies and cleverly arranged percussion – a real peach! Vakula steps up with his say on “Passage To The Moon”, creating what is basically a neo-jazz piece masqueraded as a deep house track – long, winding strings mixing so effortlessly with crisp drum machines and gentle synth pads. For side B, the pair exchange remix duties, with Vakula injecting his familiar jazz-filtered style on “Session North #1” and Kuniyuki created an unusually desolate patchwork for “Passage To The Moon”, one has you lost within its mutating arrangement right form the first kick. Magnificent house excursions.
