Petter B - Japan EP

Review by Karan Gleddie

Japan, the latest album by Petter B, is a mesmerizing journey through the sounds and rhythms of the Far East. From the opening track, "Tokyo," with its pulsating beats and haunting melodies, to the closing number, "Kyoto," with its delicate piano and strings, the album is a masterful blend of electronic and traditional Japanese music.

The album features a range of instruments, from the shakuhachi flute to the koto and taiko drums, all expertly woven into Petter B's signature techno sound. The result is a collection of tracks that are both ethereal and danceable, with moments of introspection and moments of pure energy.

One standout track is "Sakura," which features a beautiful vocal performance by Japanese singer Yui Onodera. Her voice floats above a bed of shimmering synths and a driving beat, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that is both soothing and invigorating.

Japan is a stunning achievement by Petter B, showcasing his skill as a producer and his deep appreciation for Japanese culture and music. It is an album that rewards repeated listens, revealing new layers and textures with each play. Fans of techno, world music, or just great music in general, should not miss this one.
