Cho and Random Impetus - Brother Sister / Candlelight (Remixed) '2022

Tracks list

       Straight out of New York, the debut 7 inch by Cho and Random Impetus was
presented by Menace label and first released in the USA in July 2019. Featuring
the two singles "Brother Sister" and "Candlelight", the EP is a powerful call to
humanity. Previously released on vinyl, this project was directed by Japanese
artist Cho and features local musicians. It was recorded in analog, giving the
track a very old school vibe by utilizing jazz, funk, soul and disco melodies to
create a rich 1970s-esque sound. "Brother Sister", is a feel-good modern disco
that could easily pass as something from the heyday of the genre, and
"Candlelight," another sure-shot tune is a funk groover with its jazzy horn
harmonies and strong male vocals. Many DJs featured the 7 inch record during
their sets shortly after its release, including Floating Points, DJ Muro, Richie
Medina and many more... becoming a club anthem in New York City. The record also
caught the attention of Paris-based French DJ Hugo LX, who is very close to the
Menace collective and also a genuine funk and disco enthusiast. Offering a remix
album for Cho and Random Impetus' 7-inch record seemed evident for him. He
invited DJ Spinna, the renowned hip-hop and house producer from Brooklyn, as
well as his long-time friend and collaborator, to join him on the project. This
remixed record actually enters a cycle in Hugo LX's work, as he collaborates
with Japanese artists on a yearly-basis, among others Satoshi Tomiie, Toshio
Matsuura, Kuniyuki or Takecha. The Paris-NYC-Tokyo triangle is also key in his
work: his music drew many influences from these cities. Hugo LX remixed the
track "Brother Sister" in a style matching the soul, funk, and disco vibes of
his DJ sets, with a more contemporary approach. As for DJ Spinna, he delivered a
progressive version of the track "Candlelight": more electronic-sounding, it
feels softly psychedelic
