Humandrone from Japan featured on this lemon yellow release from We Play House.

Marked firmly on our Soundcloud page and in various publications: WPH does not accept nor listen to demos. A way of working that was shattered when one day Red D found a ‘real’ physical demo in his postbox. From a galaxy far far away called Japan came Humandrone a.k.a. Takaaki Shibuya, with his twist on jackin’ Chicago rhythms. A twist deeply melancholic, almost Detroit like, showing us that Chicago music can be both jackin’ and musical at the same time.
Not one to change his demo policy, Red D could not help but make Humandrone the exception to the rule, and thus WPH Yellow is upon us. As always limited to 600 copies coloured vinyl only.
The A-side opens up with ‘Rude Low’, a monster of a track built around intricate drum patterns and a killer piano stab. Canada’s James Teej – who featured with an original track on WPH Red – was immediately up for a deeper than deep remix of ‘Rude Low’, completing the A-side. On the B-side Humandrone takes up deeper into his universe with ‘Babylon’, reminding us of K!nk doing his jacking thing. ‘Northern Roader’ finishes the E.P in style, going a bit deeper and focusing on the melodic side of Humandrone, while still keeping that jack. WPH always wanted to do something Chicago, Humandrone just decided how that was gonna sound: fresh!
