Fake Memories

✺ Japanese Record Store Day 2021 Exclusive✺ First time on 7"Momoe Shimano gained popularity for her cool singing voice during the R & B boom that swept the 2000s.From “Free Soul Moe Her Mellow Lovers Twilight Amour”, which was announced in 2009 and attracted many listeners in a blink of an eye, the number that decorated the opening is the long-awaited analog release.The A-side, which beautifully covers Minako Yoshida’s famous song “Shooting Star of Love,” is a mellow number that matches the voice that sings while looking up at the original song and the softly swaying electric piano.On the B side, a Japanese R & B “Late Show” that swings gently is coupled to acid jazz-like. I would like you to get the songs that are indispensable for tracing the genealogy of Japanese soul-R & B and city pop, with 7inch.

Trad Vibe records is happy and proud to present you this project as well execptional as unpublished!We are in 1994, DJ Clyde left the group Assassin and launched the 1st French Mixtapes but he sees even further and launches into the production for the 1st time since he became a hip-hop activist. His set up seems very simple but unusual and innovative for the time especially in France with a SP1200 and two S950 and a maximum of Soul, Funk, Jazz vinyls that he digs with his crew Hypnotyc Djs (Dj Clyde, Dj Max, Dj Asko). The project is also exceptional because it comes from a cassette archived by Clyde of beats sent for the album Paris Sous Les Bombes of the famous group Suprême NTM (3rd album of the group).Of course you will not find the beats released with his last but all the unselected gems that reveals the talent and the advance that Dj Clyde had taken in the production at that time! More than an instrumental album or beat tape, this project is a testimony of the history of Hip-Hop and moreover of Beatmaking in France in the 90s which was not supposed to see the day.The cover is made by the talented grafiti artist Cyril "Kongo" of the famous and historical crew of graffiti artists MAC (founded in 1986 in Montreuil).
