Tokyo's Taka Noda doesn't come across as the kind of artist who would unveil a new piece before it's all ripe and perfected, and each and every single track of the arrangement sounds just as intended. This of course is a method that inevitably results in what might be considered a somewhat slow output, with only a new tune every other day, but in our times of excessive production and exaggerated buzz, this is actually nothing short of a relief. In fact, and without getting all overly excited here, Noda's work under his
Mystica Tribe guise so far for me is among the most intriguing and engaging music of its kind out there right now, which would be something between dub and more straight house, restrained and intricate and skillful, headphone music that should nonetheless please any crowd on the dancefloor. Check out Noda's brand new track "Butterflies" below,
his second published piece in 2012. No word on an official release whatsoever yet, but we'll keep you informed.
