about

“Subtle, playful. Softly spoken yet speaks volumes. This is powerful stuff! The absence of music like this is what made me start producing…” —Jackson Bailey/Tapes

“Fairy-tale of dub new-age heaven. Rainbow scenery is spread out in my brain. It's hard for me to get out this world” —H.Takahashi

7FO: pronounced “nana f o” in English, “nana” being seven. Ryu no Nukegara: “dragon’ s husk” . These are the only difficulties you’ ll encounter here. This is warm, friendly, very relaxed music, very “understandable” and yet intriguing, sure to appeal to fans of electronic ambient, dub and chill-out music, as well as artists like Haruomi Hosono, Captain Ganja, La Monte Young, Equiknoxx and Tapes. The Osaka-based 7FO combines groovily sparse electronic percussion with similarly sparse dub-feel synth bass, as well as pentatonic synth and steel pan melodies, the latter with an intriguing Okinawa/Sunda/Malay feel. Sparkling dub-influenced processing and thoughtful mixing gives us a music which is trans-oceanic, warm, and enveloping. Following releases on RVNG, Bokeh Versions and Metron, Ryu no Nukegara is available on digital, CD and 12” LP, featuring a suite of four tracks and the 20-minute title track, whose titular dragon is Asian: a potent symbol of water, strength and good luck.

これが噂の浄土ダブ・ニューエイジ・ベース。あのTapesも惚れ込んだ天然の才、7FOの2018年アルバム。ほのかに草の香り漂う涅槃用BGMでフワフワと白昼夢体験。

7FOの特徴はアンビエント/ニューエイジ的なシンセ・エレクトロニクスを天然のエスニックさでダブ/レゲエっぽく処理する点。そのセンスこそニューエイジ電子音楽、ニュールーツリバイバルからベースミュージック、La Monte YoungからEquiknoxxのファンにまで越境し支持される理由だと思われる。あのTapesに「これで俺が音楽作る理由が無くなった…」と言わしめた、7FOのランドマークとなるであろうナチュラルハイ無添加チルアウト決定盤。樋口寛人氏による装丁がこの音の視覚化に成功。
