須永辰緒 『World Standard.09』

レコード番長によるミックスCDシリーズの最新作が5年ぶりに登場。今回もジャズを媒介にしたジャンルレスなプレイを繰り広げているのだが、これまで以上にテッキーでミニマルなトラックを登用しているのが印象的で、もとより特異なDJスタイルもいよいよすごいことになってきたなあ、と。チャールズ・ミンガスの長尺曲を丸ごと投下したりする中盤のディープな展開も圧倒的。DJ観を覆す刺激がたっぷり詰まってます。

[English Translation]
Tatsuo Sunaga "World Standard.09"

The latest release of his signature "World Standard" mix CD series in 5 years from DJ and producer, Tatsuo Sunaga, a.k.a. the 'Record Bancho (Mr. King-of-Vinyls)' (due to his devoted passion and knowledge about vinyls). Using jazz as the medium but sticking to a non-genre interpretation of performance, the album is striking in the way more techy and minimal tracks are embraced than ever and one cannot feel that his initially peculiar DJ style has become increasingly intense. The deep settings midway the album including the spinning of a Charles Mingus feature-length piece in its entirety is absolutely overwhelming. A piece packed with inspirations that would completely demolish the expected DJ-ness.
