Tokyo deep house master Soshi Takeda returns with a long-awaited six-song sequel to 2021’s landmark FloaJng Mountains, surfing deeper into mystery, moJon, and liquid dreams: Secret CommunicaJon. Recorded across 2022 and 2023 at his home studio with a unique assemblage of 80’s and 90’s hardware, the tracks cruise through a la\cework of skyways on lush pads, bubbling bass, and blissed BPMs, dusted in sunrise acid and cosmic piano. His is a dance music of idyllic emoJons and inner worlds, yearning for new horizons. DramaJc events overlapped with the album’s creaJon: “Wars broke out. On the other hand, my child was born. There were sad and beauJful moments in my life.” Secret CommunicaJon contains vistas, valleys, glimpses of lives unled, swirling above the grey noise of the city. From the jazzy daydream of “Can ImaginaJon Transcend Distance?” to the sleek starlight house of “Rainstorm” to the farewell ecstasy of the Jtle track, Takeda’s music touches and transports, a portal to places beyond. Fantasy and feeling, intenJon and inspiraJon, all become one: “When I listen to beauJful deep house, I feel a mysterious atmosphere. Dreamy scenes come to mind. I aim to create that sound.”
