{"product_id":"702334208649","title":"Pigeondust: Moon Wisdom \u0026 Slackness (Vinyl LP)","description":"Producer and DJ Yuta Yamaoka - better known in the beats world as Pigeondust - resides in Chiba, Japan, and spends his days either flipping through dusty records or pulling samples from these vinyl treasures. For me, sampling is more like a collaboration, says Pigeondust. I could make music from scratch if I wanted to, but by sampling I can achieve something I could never have made by myself. A member of the EN TOKYO crew alongside Salty and Bugseed, Pigeondust represents a new generation of Japanese beat-makers drawing upon a plethora of global influences to develop a distinctive sound. Ultimately this sound recalls classic hip hop, but with the loose spirit of jazz and a sense of sonic experimentation. Pigeondust's 17-track album Moon, Wisdom \u0026amp; Slackness - out on the Cold Busted label - exhibits these qualities in spades. The cuts are prime examples of Pigeondust's meticulous beat construction, fitting the samples, loops, and beats together like pieces of a complex puzzle. Harps grabs with it's angelic rising tones, lounge-like vibraphone, and hardy rhythm. A Night Thought - a collaboration with Sugarloaf on jazzy guitar - feels like a back-alley cruise through midnight Tokyo, while Mindtrip pleases with it's chopped-up beats and nerdy synthesizer lines. Family Affair shows the prominent jazz influence as gentle sax and piano play over a snappy drum loop and vinyl pops, sounding like a lost transmission from another era. There are many other moods to explore - Pigeondust reveals a multi-layered palette on the expressive Moon, Wisdom \u0026amp; Slackness.  1995, Loop, Galacticos1994, Harps, Knowledge, Lives in the Clouds, Here Comes Midnight, Stars, Mindtrip, Straight Ahead, The Life, A Night Thought, With You, Family Affair, Knife in a Pocket, Railroad Jam, Coda","brand":"Cold Busted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35361627373718,"sku":"702334208649","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2231\/7305\/products\/3914596.jpg?v=1705026974","url":"https:\/\/www.besvinyl.com\/products\/702334208649","provider":"besvinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
