bezier: mina

Honey Soundsystem is proud to reinaugurate their record label with a new 12” from resident DJ Robert Yang, also known as Bézier. Over the past several years Robert has seen releases on the Dark Entries record imprint, the most recent of which is the “Telomeres” EP. The title track 皆 (pronounced ‘mina’) translates from Japanese to ‘Everyone’. "Mina" is the story of a journey through space. The initial ascent is marked by uncertainty: "Is this vessel safe, and where is it bound?". Calm resumes after leaving orbit, until the space craft reaches its final destination: an interplanetary discotheque! Mina was recorded and mixed this year with the assistance of Mark Pistel. The track also features SF drummer Kevin Woodruff of Tussle fame. The B-side includes two previously released tracks, now available for the first time on vinyl. ‘Serengeti Drive’ is a chugging slow burner, and first appeared on Honey Soundsystem’s earlier HNYTRX compilation of queer dancefloor artists. ‘Mysteries of the Deep’ explores more aquatic terrain, and was released on the JACKTONE cassette compilation of Bay Area electronic music stars. Both tracks were recorded, produced and mixed by Robert in his home studio in 2009. Vinyl EQ and lacquer were cut by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. Each 12” comes housed in a custom made die-cut jacket featuring an illustration of the San Francisco skyline by Studio Nico.
