Lost Weekend - Down The Road '2022

Tracks list

       Japanese DJ/Producer duo Slowly launch new project LOST WEEKEND
A fictional soundtrack of the weekends lost during the pandemic Mellow, endless
melodies and lo-fi, dubby, effects-processed soundscapes.
There is a spring after the cold winter, and “Down the Road” by Lost
Weekend captures our collective reawakening. This collaborative album was born
when Japanese producer/DJ duo Slowly's Masato Komatsu and Ryo Kawahara discussed
and compared each other’s perspectives on music during the pandemic.
“As the pandemic continued, how I listened to music and values within me
changed.
I started to feel that the music I was making was slightly different from the
real world.”
Slowly are best known for their uptempo tunes and remixes that often utilise
reggae rhythms. They are a DJ’s DJ and DJ’s producer as many of
their 7-inch releases have sold out and get played on dancefloors across the
globe. Their remix of Struggle For Pride’s “Make a Rainbow feat.
Yoshie Nakano” was selected as one of the best songs of 2020 on Gilles
Peterson on his BBC Radio 6. With reggae at the core of his roots,
Masato’s eclectic sound making is highly praised, and consists of a
mixture of genres with futuristic visions to serve a worldwide audience.
Disruptions from the pandemic hit club culture hard in Japan. When Masato and
Ryo sat down, and compared their music notes over this long spell, they
discovered that both were inspired by a similar direction in music: exotica,
balearic and chillout. With the reassurance of looking in the same direction,
during this challenging time, they decided to draw upon a new canvas. Bravely
taking a big step away from the Slowly sound, they present Lost Weekend, a new
project, creating a fictional soundtrack “longing for the weekend”
that we lost during the pandemic.
