Barely hinged drum machine + sampler frivolities formulated by fearless Japanese operator Kopy on her debut album with Stefan Schneider’s TAL - one for fans of owt from Lena Willikens and Elena Colombi to Container, YPY and Dolo Percussion.
Since first cropping up on TAL in 2019, Osaka’s Yuko Kureyama aka Kopy has made a virtue of creating club havoc with minimal means. Debut album ‘Heart Fresh’ sees her firm up a vernacular of effected, off-the-cuff drum machine and sampler chops, developed over a few years of prolific live shows, with a compelling, intuitive fluency that has seen her hailed among the most exciting live acts in a vibrant Japanese scene. In order to best capture her thizzing, offbeat pound, full of corkscrewing dynamism, Kopy recorded the album with just a fairly common set-up of Jomox x Base 09 rhythm machine and Electron Digitakt mini sampler in situ at Ochiai Soup, Tokyo, turning the live/club venue into her personal studio, making great use of its intimacy and acoustics for a wild album brimming over with inventive, livewire energies.
With her aesthetic and stylistic analogs outlined in previous EPs via remixers Lena Willikens and Elena Colombi, Kopy pursues adventurous rhythms across the album comparable to the demented impulse of Container as much as the singeli scenius or frenchtek flashcore nutters. Opening with a brisk skirmish of tabla and jabbed keys swept into Tanzanian ghetto dervish on ‘Night Sarkas’, she toggles the groove between spangled percolator ‘New Walk’, fast fwd madness in ‘Cross Beam’, and up to the nocturnal froth of ‘Moonlight Pond’ in succinct steps. She dices with craftiest Cuban patterns in ‘Hole Hole’ and YPY levels of disruptive badness on ’Tir Tone’, beside more regularly metered groover ‘Blows’ and reserves the right to churn it up like Dolo Percussions on the unstably whirring mechanism ‘Small Garden’.
