Fresh in the post from the DIY hub of Prepaid Records, Leipzig, 7 Patterns created via the brain of Yosuke Tokunaga, out of Japan -


Proper blue hours, rainy afternoon / gazing out of the window type beats, melodies and rhythms are contained in here, Yosuke and the Prepaid crew have put together a very immersive and intriguing thing.

As our friend Mr 'The Bug' has said, quote: "Like an ice cool cocktail of Burial, DJ Krush and Scorn, i got no idea why more ppl aren't shouting about Yosuke Tokunaga!"

And as our new friends from Prepaid say:
"Tokunaga uses a minimalistic compositional mentality in his works. Simple structures and consistent rules are defining his style as well as his sound aesthetics. "7 Patterns" follows the same path of sketch-type and filtered tracks."

Yep, we agree wholeheartedly with the above sentiments -
This one really stood out to us when we delved into the world of Prepaid and their DIY tape operations recently.
Maybe it's easy to make a connection with the likes of Yasuaki Shimizu due to the Japanese location, but we get strong 'Music For Commercials' vibes from some of this, as well as a nice reminder of that golden period of L.A. beats from the likes of Samiyam, Flying Lotus & crew, around 2008 or something..

Anyway, the magic is in the music here - just take a listen to the clips, and rest assured that the full tape follows suit real nice.

Guaranteed musical journey'ing from the time you insert the tape, with this one!
