about

京都を拠点にするSSW/プロデューサー、NTsKi(エヌ・ティー・エス・ケー・アイ)と内外で評判の浄土ニューエイジ・ダブ・アーティスト、7FO(ななえふおー)のコラボレーション・シングル。このコンビが今も愛され続ける80sポストパンク名曲、ブレンダ・レイの「ドゥヤ・ヒア・ミー!」を怪しくもドリーミーな似非ラヴァーズ・ロックにダブ・アップ。ビムワン& CVNのリミックス2曲をカップリングしたe.pです。7FOファンにはカラオケversionをおすすめ。

7FOが担当した妙なタイム感を持つオケの暖かみと弛緩具合は期待を裏切らないが、NTsKiのウィスパリング・ヴォーカルが乗った瞬間、怪しくもドリーミーなラヴァーズ・ロックに変化。DIYな打ち込み&ギターで歌われたオリジナル版とは景色の違うこのグルーヴは、ジャマイカを遠く離れ各国訛りのDUBが増殖していく現在、日本訛りのDUBアップの極北ともいえる。

このチューンをダンスホールDJセットのど真ん中に連れてくる匠の技REMIXを施したのは、通称”ビムワン”としてベース・ミュージック界にその名を轟かせるエレクトロ・レゲエ・リズム・プロダクション、Bim One Productionだ。7FOをして悶絶KOさせたサウンド作りはまさにプロの仕事。

もうひとつ目玉はOrange Milkからアルバム(※NTsKiをヴォーカルにフィーチャー)を発表したエレクトリック・ミュージック・プロデューサー、CVNによるリミックス。彼の一面であるノイズインダストリアル・センスをアクセントに利かせるハード&スタイリッシュなREMIXで、どこか80sの4ADもしくはフレンチ・ポップを連想させる仕上がりが新鮮。

released November 1, 2019

In 1981, Brenda Ray / Naffi Sandwich released the sweetly yearning “D’Ya Hear Me!”. The song is now considered a post-punk classic, and here we have a warm digi-reggae version sung by Kyoto composer/producer/vocalist NTsKI (“n-t-s-k-i”), with backing tracks performed, recorded and mixed by Osaka-based producer/guitarist 7FO (“nana f o”). Also on this release are a karaoke version, plus two remixes, the first a dancehall-flavoured version by Bim One Production, a Tokyo electro-reggae production duo. The second mix is from Nagoya-based electronic producer CVN, who provides a harder version. This revisioning of a much-loved classic is available on CD, 10-inch vinyl and digital.
