shinichiro yokota/the mole: 5 years anniversary series 02

Tokyo-based Far East recording artist Shinichiro Yokota opens 5 Years Anniversary Series 02 with "I Know You Like" a harkening back to the days of soulful, musical house courtesy of jazzy synth lines, warm chords and choppy bass running alongside a swinging drum groove and vocal hooks uttering the track's title. The Mole follows with "A Simple Day", turning in a typically raw and funk-infused workout via dusty drum sounds, looped guitar licks, warbling low-end tones, and an underlying psychedelic feel.
