for its 4th release, malka tuti is welcoming j.a.k.a.m. to its ever-expanding family. born in tokyo japan, j.a.k.a.m. has been been one of the leading figures developing the music scene in japan from the early 90s as a dj, producer and a band member. his wide variety of musical influences ranges from house, hip hop, drum&bass, techno, reggae, jazz, rock and world music. with combining these different styles of inspirations and tradition, he creates the most unique time and space on the dance floor, a kind of fusion of early tribal house (recording live instruments in the studio), world music with a pinch of shamanic spiritual vibes. on his ep for malka tuti he delivers 2 original epic tunes, followed by a smokey dub version by versatile records boss gilb r and a total dance-floor smashing remix by aussie prodigy - dreems.

j.a.k.a.m is japanese artist takashige miyawaki, a long standing producer commonly found on crosspoint records. on this release for the ever intriguing malka tuti label miyawaki draws on a thrilling spread of influences to make a truly soul-stirring track. at times the vocals lean towards a middle eastern lilt while the saxophone burns with the fire of the post punk era. with monolithic drum hits, yearning violin and plenty more besides, wabi sabi is a many-headed beast of a track. moscoman takes the original and simmers it down to a more focused but no less exotic tribal house workout.

the lyon imprint hard fist strikes again with the collaborative princes of abzu ep, federating producers hailing from multiple horizons.
