PREMIERE: Red Pig Flower - Mental Adventure [Sound of Vast]
The Sound Of Vast imprint marks its five year anniversary this year and to celebrate it’s offering up five special various artist packages across 2019 limited to 250 copies each, featuring material from the likes of Vid, The Mole, Cinthie, Shinichiro Yokota, Com Sin aka Cosmin TRG.
Sound of Vast, headed up by Tokyo’s Knock and Berlin-based artist Red Pig Flower has grown to be become a highly respected imprint in underground House & Techno over the past few years. Exploring a ‘vast’ range of styles, which is where the name comes from, the imprint has welcomed revered producers onto the label’s catalogue such as Vid aka Egal 3, The Mole, Soichi Terada, Wareika and many more. Here though we see the focus on the core family as well as some new additions, celebrating the artists involved over the past five years and looking towards the future with some fresh, hotly tipped acts. This project also sees a new design concept for the imprint from London’s David Surman’s painting installation project ‘Paintings For The Cat Dimension’ which ‘’explores the motif of the cat as emblematic of internet aesthetics, a place where all painting styles and modes now exist non-hierarchically as pure information.’’
Label co-founder Red Pig Flower’s ‘Mental Adventure’ brings eastern-tinged plucked strings and vacillating atmospherics into the limelight alongside rounded subs and a bumpy rhythmic drive to create a smooth, hypnotic trip.
