HOLD Re-SAMPLE QUARTET

ジャズ・ピアニスト／作曲家／ビートメイカーであるAaron Choulaiの呼びかけにより結成。ループベースでありがならもサンプリングとプレイヤーの演奏をSP404mkⅡで再構築したサウンドが特徴。
メンバーは盟友であり実力派として知られるサクソフォニストYoshimoto Akihiro 、オーストラリア在住のトランペッターEugene Ball、MCにはOilWorksからのリリースも記憶に新しい田中光(Dry Echoes)。

Hold Re-Sample Quartet is an ensemble based around the SP-404 sampler. With Dilla style techniques applied to hard bop and free jazz samples, the two-horn frontline plays carefully constructed melodies, backing figures and improvisations that re-contextualize and colour off-kilter loops. Added to this are the lyrics and flow of MC Hikaru Tanaka, which creates a blend of jazz meets hip-hop that is at the same time new and experimental, while having its roots in the traditions of Dilla, Horace Silver and the Art Ensemble Of Chicago.
