Ifume

Polaroïd love EP

i-DJ Magazine, when reviewing Komplex de Deep's last release from Chymera, stated "They may not release music that often, but the output from Master-H’s Komplex De Deep imprint is inevitably worth the wait." It's that time taken, and the A&R work of the label chief, that confidently gives us the knowledge that each and every release from the KDD stable, has been thoughtfully created, studied and signed.

The label has already played host to music from a variety of artists. Many well known, and some, as in the case of vocalist Alice Orpheus, being introduced for the first time. Today Master-H looks to once again bring forth new talent, as he presents not only a debut for KDD, but also the very first release for Japanese producer, Ifume.

Born in Japan, and raised in Brazil, Ifume has always been exposed to a variety of musical influence. Whilst his musical aptitude was apparent at early age, learning piano and guitar, Ifume never really exhibited a desire to pursue a career in music. Upon graduating from high-school, Ifume, through his friends, discovered the local club scene, and it was here that his passion was ignited.

Today, Ifume is set to join the new wave of young, exciting house producers. Whilst his sound is far from obvious, it does mirror his love for the New York, Detroit and Chicago scenes. He may well have been too young to experience at first hand, the early sounds coming out of those cities. But his love of the gritty, unpolished and brutally honest sounds of the 80's and early 90's, can be heard in his own intricate productions.

Showcasing quite frighteningly mature production skills, Ifume presents four stunning deep house cuts. Exclusively analog, each one exudes that delectable warmth of sound throughout. This really is a debut release to savour ladies and gents. Listen, download and support Ifume and Komplex de Deep...

Enjoy!

Deejay Magazine Spain - Ya es de todos sabido que somos amantes de la buena musica, del buen deep y de la elegancia. Y Komplex es un sello que referencia tras referencia, y llegada la que hace numero 12, nos ha demostrado que podemos englobarlo dentro de estos adjetivos. Nuevo EP con 4 cortes intensos, profundos, con buenos aires de ritmos calientes y con una mezcla oriental y brasileña en la sangre capaz de helar cualquier pista a ritmo de buen groove, Ifume, nos presenta su particular vision de la electronica. 7 / 10 Mix Destacado: Polaroid Love

DJ Magazine Espana - El sello del productor Frances Master H lleva ya doce singles de una calidad altísima. No se prodigan de manera continua, pero cada publicación es como un vino bueno, se ha madurado. Ifume, el productor japones a en Brasil es el encargado de esta duodecima entrega. Los cuatro cortes tienen ese sonido orgánico que podemos encontrar en sellos como Freerange. ‘Polaroid Love’ y ‘Nanako`s song’ tienen unos sonidos calidos y son probablemente los más indicados para la pista de baile. ‘Backlash’ con sus dos partes son los más instrumentales, con el uso de un sintetizador de sonidos más agudos y con un ritmo trotón (parte II) mientras que su compañero (parte I) tiene un incesante sonido de cuerda con un bajo hipnotico. Calidad. 8.0

De:Bug Magazine Germany – Wie immer, ich bin Fan. Diese Platte ist unschlagbar. “Back-lash” kickt mit extrem einfachern Groove und einer merkwurdigen Funkgitarre (sonst ein Grund meine Ohren aus dem Fenster zu werfen) so lassig und abstract, so nah und nostalgisch, so Frisch uns uberragend zugleich, dass ich gerne einen zweiten Part davon nehme. Der steckt wiederum voller sprieBender Detroitmelodien, die einem das Gluck unter die Haut treiben. Dazu noch der schwer schummrig uberdeepe “Naoko’s Song” und das machtig tanzeind verdrehte “Polaroid Love.” Hat alles, was man braucht, diese Platte. Und das ist bei Komplex De Deep eighentlich auch immer so.
