Geskia is back!
The Tokyo-based breakbeats master, who released the critically acclaimed
album "Silent 77", and received rave reviews from all over
the world, including WIRE magazine of UK, is back with his latest EP
"Eclipse 323".
This stunning EP is beautifully stamped with Geskiaﾕs signature break
beats style, by combining various musical elements like laptop acoustic,
psychedelic, shoegazing and glitch, and at the same time, infused with
a lovely twist of trip-hop revival. These trademark sounds of Geskia
create an "atmosphere of uncertainty, upsurge of sentiment, beautiful
but yet decadent". This EP is indeed an awesome feast for all the
fans of hip hop, breakbeats and IDM. And if you are into Flying Lotus,
Chris Clark, this is definitely a must-have album for you.
To top if off, we have 3 superb remixes included inside this ep, which
are contributed by some of the most important figures in the current
breakbeats / hip hop scene, including: Caural - the famous hip hop /
breakbeats artist from chocolate industries, Bracken - the project by
Chris Adams (Hood) from anticon , and Lukid - the brilliant London-based
young producer whose works have received praises from Herbert and Kode
9.
In "Eclipse 323", the future of underground hip hop is taking
shape.

-reviews-
a cracking little album. Good stuff indeed. - smallfish
funky electronica which veers from yr melodic electronica to some more
awkward hip hop inspired beaty moments like Flying Lotus, Clark, Funkstorung
- norman records
Geskia soaks synthetic keyboard melodies and beats in a glutinous bath
of voice fragments, instrument samples, and digital dirt - textura
Eclipse 323 might be viewed as a midway point between glitchy, post-IDM
micro-beats and the more contemporary, harder hitting sounds of current
generation Warp artists like Clark, Flying Lotus and Hudson Mohawke. In
production terms this is hugely enjoyable, full of complex, flowing beat
designs and the level of detail is astonishing - boomkat
Geskia is a Japanese breakbeat wizard, creating organic, lush, beautifully
woven abstract soundscapes that is eerily similar to acts like Flying
Lotus. Incredibly solid and groundbreaking music. Extremely refined music;
very detailed and very polished. A diamond in a desert of sand. - i slept
