(Minimal, Tech House) So Inagawa - Integritithm (Cabaret | CAB 005) Vinyl - 2015, MP3, 320 kbps

Japanese micro-house champ So Inagawa has long been serving up delectable singles for labels such as Minimood and Trimsound, and it seems high time that he delivered an album, ten years after his first single was released. This long player for Cabaret allows Inagawa to stretch out his styles without losing focus on what his distinctive sonic identity is. The grooves stay slight and serene throughout, with delicate threads of instrumentation woven in and amongst the needlepoint drums, and the overriding feeling is one of strung-out jazz. Closing track “I Will Do It The Same Way” perhaps says it all, this is an album of consistency that hits upon a refined style and maintains it throughout.
