The Disturbance EP is Japanese producer Riow Arai¹s first ever release
outside Japan. A Greatest Hits¹ package of sorts, the EP draws from Arai¹s
extensive catalogue of twisted instrumental hiphop on the cult Japanese
Soup-Disk label.
The five DJ friendly cuts include two re-edits of tracks from the
forthcoming Mind Edit album, and three from a selection of previous Japanese
releases, stretching back to 1998.
This is hiphop like you've never heard before, masterfully crafted,
incredibly fresh and quite unique. Riow¹s got the funk, and he¹s bringing it
to y¹all in spades.
Riow Arai made his debut in 1995, and has released four albums since, with a
new Japanese release to come later this year. He has created soundtracks for
Playstation games, played in Japan with Matthew Herbert, Hexstatic, Four Tet
and Skam Records, and produced numerous Japanese artists, including Mego¹s
Tujiko Noriko. Nobukazu Takemura described his second album as ³unmistakably
the best Japanese dancefloor record of the year².

"When you¹ve got the likes of Jonathan More, Si Begg and John Peel singing
your praises you know you must be doing something right, and in this
instance we can only concur. This is great stuff. Like Primo, Akufen,
Prefuse 73 and Dabrye knocking heads for a finely tuned foray into low slung
instrumental hip hop and twisted downbeat machine funk. Excellent" **** DJ
³Strong, grimy and minimal with lots of character² Mr Scruff
³Unspeakably good and sublime pick-up for the patently brilliant Leaf. I
have a few older things by RA so this is a breath of fresh air. Sounds
like the love children of Krush and DJ Shadow² Disastronaut
