( RCR 004 ) Hayato HAYASHI - Just A Touch (12") Roof Club Italy

Roof Records is a label from Isernia, Italy established in 2019 and founded/curated by three guys named Paolo, Diego and Lucio. Last year saw some killer EPs by the likes of Orbes and Erica Menei, now the first release of 2021 is by Japanese producer Hayato Hayashi: a staple of the iElektronix digital label who makes his vinyl debut here - Just A Touch. From the dirty basement bounce of 'Something Easy' and the minimal acid sleaze of 'Emotional Moment' on the A side, 'Emotional Moment' on the flip reduces rave techno to a slower, steady tempo that's perfect for getting weird at the afterhours. All in all, these are dusty, hardware-oriented house jams from an old school state of mind.
