about

“For me, sampling is like a collaboration,” says DJ Yuta Yamaoka, better known to global beatheads as Pigeondust. Residing in Chiba, Japan, Pigeondust spends his days either vinyl-digging or sourcing samples — that is, creating sonic collaborations — from his discoveries. Pigeondust is also a member of the EN TOKYO crew, representing a new generation of Japanese beat-makers who draw from a large variety of genres. In 2015, Pigeondust joined Cold Busted with his fantastic album Moon, Wisdom & Slackness. He now follows up with an ambitious double album titled Way Back When.

Way Back When explores a galaxy of hip hop styles throughout its whopping 36 cuts. The vibe is gritty and street-smart, samples from jazz, funk, world music, and other pathways poured into one groovable stew. “Chienowa” sets the tone with its tough beat, funk bass pops, and fly-by musical riffs. “Spiral Beat” is also notable for its arpeggiated jazz loop that shifts into gentle ‘70s piano soul. And the collaborations aren’t exclusive with samples — Turkish producer Ozoyo joins Pigeondust for the drum-twisting nature walk of “Magicnight,” and Swiss producer DRWN. appears on cut-up jazz jam “Intense.” There’s much to explore here.

The album is available from Cold Busted on double vinyl, its packaging a loving homage to Yo! MTV Raps and its sought-after trading cards. Each Vinyl album comes with a Pigeondust trading card complete with artist photo and vital stats. Represent.

Crate Invader (point blank fm london): 10/10 - class production

Lakatos Sandor Suefo (Radio Tilos FM 90,3 / Savages y Suefo): Wonderful! I like all these tunes. Rain and Wave are my favourites. I will play these in my radio show today.

Herbert Bachhofer (Shantisan) (Salted Soul / One Note Samba Radio Show on superfly.fm): Lovely sampling and editing action going on here! Very creative!

Andrew Emil (Broadway & Wilson / Four Play Music / Glenview Records / 5Magazine): Love This Release!

DJ Rahdu (BamaLoveSoul / AB+L Radio / Hot107.7 FM (Birmingham, AL)): Oh Yes!

Clive Craske (RadioReverb 97.2FM, Brighton): The edgy distorted melody, spanners-in-a-bag percussion, skittering kicks, and incessant short-loop feel of "Class" is an object lesson in style.Tasty. "Spiral Beat" is a rotating jazz helter skelter of a tune. Loungey hip hop with looping electric piano, trumpet and beats. Niiice! "Wave" circulates in a sunny all-over-tan kinda way. "Rain" takes us back to the hardcore vibraphone, bongos, and more trumpet garnished with subtle scat vocals. Nice bassline too. My fave cut here. The jangly jazz-funk rhythm guitar, trumpetty background, heart-stopping beat-skip cuts, and rocking bass of "B-Boy Blue (Long Version)" make this another top number. "1973" is much more deeply chilled with almost all the sounds except perhaps the beats coming from the party in the next apartment. One for the dawn... Shame there are none of the collaborations in this sampler package - they look interesting. 8/10 for this expertly produced album.

Sasha Perera (Marketing Melodies (music licensing)): Cool sounds

Hober Mallow (Mighty Reel (weekly on 2SER 107.3 FM, Sydney)): Happy new year :) As always, this is spot on for me. Im especially into Spiral Beat on this with it's beat and jazzy interludes. Also like the looped out boogie on B-Boy Blue as well. Thanks as always for the great music, very appreciated.

Magnus Asberg (C-Soul) (On The House Records): Yes yes really cool this will play
