YOSHIO OJIMA – Club – LP – Vinyl [AUG 23]

LP – Black Vinyl Housed in a Heavy 350gsm Sleeve. Available for the first time on vinyl.

WRWTFWW Records is honoured to announce the first ever vinyl release for esteemed Japanese producer, composer, and environmental music luminary Yoshio Ojimas rare forgotten albumClub, previously only released as a limited edition of 50 cassettes back in 1983. The electronica/proto-techno/experimental gem is available as an LP reissue supervised by the artist, sourced from the original masters and housed in a heavy 350gsm sleeve.

A precious and sought-after item among collectors and enthusiasts of early Japanese electronic music, Club is a stunning and timeless collection of avant-garde electronica, proto-techno, mecha-ambient, and ear-pleasing experimentations from Yoshio Ojima, the ambient/environmental master behind the pivotal Music for Spiral albums released in 1988 (aka Une Collection Des Chanons I and II reissued on WRWTFWW), and producer of Hiroshi Yoshimuras Pier and Loft, Motohiko Hamases #Notes of Forestry, and Satsuki Shibano’s iconic Rendez-Vous.

Filled with quirky minimalist acid-synth-and-drum-machine-handiwork, bouncy collages of beautifully childlike techno and pre-IDM, and the irresistible DIY charm of humble beginnings, the 8-track album is a fun, adventurous and risqu-but-catchy-in-the-most-peculiar-way piece of Japanese electronic music history neatly capturing the incredible creative energy boiling through the countrys scene in the 1980s.

Experience the roots of Japanese electronica!
