about

No digital version available.

Insistent drum machines, resonant synths, phased 'n fuzzed guitar mayhem, the lone magus at play in the studio: there are musical and methodological antecedents for the work of Wicked Witch, but spot-the-influence is a worthless pursuit, crumbling under the relentless focus of the four WW tracks here. For his second release on EM Records, Washington D.C.'s Richard Simms gives us three previously unreleased tracks from his single-mindedly all-encompassing world, plus his own remix of one track. The second disc of this double 12 inch 45 RPM release features remixes/reconstructions by German musician DJ Slyngshot and the Osaka duo YYPYY, which comprises goat's Koshiro Hino alias YPY and renowned DJ Yousuke Yukimatsu. This second disc by turns emphasizes and destabilizes the relentless rhythm and visionary filigree of the Wicked Witch disc. Get ready to be enchanted by the spell of the Wicked Witch.

サイケデリック・マッドネス再び!
ファンク霊界からプリンス様に招かれてご案内するワシントンD.C.の悪魔マシーン・サイコ・ファンク、あのウィキッド・ウィッチが沈黙を破って放つ30年ぶりのシングルは、新旧東西クロスオーバーの12インチ2枚組。

ディスク1にWW新作4曲（1曲再ミックス＆リマスター）、ディスク2にドイツの新進気鋭クリエイター／スケーター、DJ スリングショットのリエディットと、日野浩志郎（YPY）＋行松陽介（YY）の新ユニットYYPYYによる再構築を収録。実はずっと現役で音楽をやっているウィキッド・ウィッチだが、荒涼としたacid ファンク、インド産べースミュージックのような「Funky by U」、何かが外れている「Under Your Spell 2016」とストーンド具合は圧巻（何狙いなのか今回もわからない）。DJ Slyngshotは初期シカゴハウス／オールドスクール／テクノが混在する実験的かつ80sフレイヴァな硬質ビートでリエディット。いっぽう日野と行松は、WWを別の暗黒面に引きずり込んだ変態チューン（＜この2人何を考えてるのか？）。
