Calm presents KF – Shining of Life Flutemental Unreleased Mixes – Music Concept Japan
Review
Some 20 years ago, Japanese producer donned the K.F alias (the initials of his given name, Kiyotaka Fukagawa) and delivered the astonishingly good ‘Shining of Life’, a sun-soaked Balearic house treat shot through with Japanese nu-jazz musicality, gospel-influenced vocals and expansive, life-affirming piano solos. This EP offers up previously unheard ‘Shining of Light Flutemental’ takes. Calm’s own ‘unreleased mix’ retains some of the key elements of the 2004 original while adding morning-fresh flute solos and starry sounds seemingly inspired by Detroit techno. The ‘Lambros Jahmans Sunset Mix’ is a dreamy and immersive interpretation underpinned by an Afro-house style beat, while the ‘Space Ritual Dub’ is an almost entirely beat-free soundscape. On ‘Undub (Space Ritual Dub)’, the same producer wraps echoing flute and piano motifs around a tactile, hand percussion-driven rhythm track.
