15 track album

The day has come, fans. SATANICPORNOCULTSHOP and Zona Music(a) unite! And sounds are a-Pollock. Always not your typical SATANICPORNOCULTSHOP affair, but forever the same vein of freedom, their new release The Rise And Fall Of... is among some of the 2018 heavy movers. You going cross country? The Rise And Fall Of... is the soundtrack to get you on the continue-path. Major shouts-out to the “Strategy” track ft. EQ WHY (fyi: snoop WHYTRAX aye-es-aye-pea). Someone

This year is already feeling like a particularly strong one for Japan's juke community, with plenty more to come. Yet Osaka outfit Satanicpornocultshop just went and dropped the first great front-to-back album of 2018. The Rise And Fall Of... doesn't mark any massive departure from their usual sound, nor does it find them even pushing juke music into some new, experimental territory. Rather, it finds Satanicpornocultshop sticking to the style's basics, loading up on jittery beats and sliced-thin vocal samples sourced from all over the place. Part of the fun is just in seeing what they pull out next and take a knife to —- Edwin Birdsong's "Cola Bottle Baby" (errrrr, or is it Daft Punk?) gets mashed up with Auto-tuned gurgles, Michael Jackson becomes a stutter, and Laurie Anderson's "O Superman" goes through the meat grinder on the tongue-in-cheek "Ooo Sperman." This set is just really fun, and for all the clever nods and small jokes, Satanicpornocultshop make sure the tracks here move

When you need a little burst of energy during a busy day, Osaka's Satanicpornocultshop always comes through. The juke-leaning collective's new Green Papaya EP zeroes in on percussion, with nearly every track here interlaying different beats over one another to create shuffling rhythm tracks. It runs from the sparse, skin-tingling wooden sounds of "Mouthwash" to the shimmering snaps of "The Scent Of Green Papaya," all of it simple but also effective at movement. This is Satanicpornocultshop's unplugged album, or at least as close as it will ever come, and they make it work. Get it here, or listen below. Green Papaya e.p. (neji-188) by Satanicpornocultshop
