LASTorderや不可思議/wonderboyらの作品に参加してきたビートメイカーの初作は、人間の内側に潜む〈冷たい暴力〉がテーマ。静と動が共存した深遠でメランコリックなサウンドスケープが印象的だ。初期のフライング・ロータスを彷彿とさせる“Stellar”など、ヒップホップ～アブストラクト～チルウェイヴを行き交う多彩なビートメイキング――そのダークで美しい音像にはハッとさせられる。このセンスで弱冠20歳とは恐るべし!

[English Translation]
Known for the remarkable appearances on the works of fellow artists such as beatmaker LASTorder or the deceased real-life poetry rapper Fukashigi/Wonderboy, the 1995-born rising beatmaker Ryuuta Takaki‘s 1st full-length release conveys the theme that’s hidden deep within each of us. Impressively unfolding a profound and melancholic soundscape where silence and motion peacefully coexist, this instrumental album demonstrates his colorful beatmaking, enjoyably hopping around the realms of hip hop～abstract～chillwave, as affirmed by the early Flying Lotus-ish track “Steller”, and the dark and beautiful sound image truly sends shivers down our spine. An almost scaryingly amazing sensitivity at a tender age of 20!
