夏のある日、差出人不明の荷物を受け取った。薄っぺらいその小包の消印には1984年の日付。
中身は時間をかけてボロボロになったテープだった。長年カーステレオなんかでその役目を果たしてきただろうその外見にOl’ Fashion Blendsの文字。タイムパラドックスの話は一旦置いておいて、なにかの悪戯で1984年に送り込まれたCBSが存在したならこんなテープを作っていたんだろう。

ビート次第でさまざまな表情を見せるCBSのリリック、オールドスクールのDJたちがそうしてきたようにブレイクをループさせるブレンド妙技がこのテープのメインディッシュだ。
80年代に深夜のFMで流れていたであろう煌びやかなソウルミュージックやジャズの一部を拝借してCBS2が時間を逆行し再構築された。
今回はピスタチオスタジオの好意により、特別にその貴重なテープの内容を配信、また複製し発売することとなった。

Artist Profile

  • CBS

    A hip-hop group from Kanagawa with a singular approach to blending neo-soul, jazz, and rap through live band sessions and collaborative production. The group consists of three MCs kyon, takaya, and basho alongside beatmaker and drummer ryo takahashi. They launched their career in Kanagawa in 2005, releasing five projects on Bandcamp between 2012 and 2017. From 2016, they began performing as a full band setup with Chicken Is Nice, the house band of Pistachio Studio, the recording studio they founded themselves. In July 2017, they dropped their first physical album, Classic Brown Sounds, which includes "WAVEY," a soulful co-write with Chicken Is Nice that draws directly from their live band experience. The album features contributions from beatmakers including TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C), SUPPLE, esme mori, and tajima hal, placing it in dialogue with the increasingly sophisticated beat music landscape of the time. In 2018, they released the single "Stay Up All Night," with production by Chicken Is Nice and mixing and mastering handled by illicit tsuboi, a refined presentation of the synthesis between live performance and sampling. November 2019 saw the release of "All I Can Say," a single ahead of their second album, followed by the full-length Classic Brown Sounds 2 in 2022. As of 2023, true to the independent spirit that has defined them since day one, they continue to perform as an eight-piece live unit with CBS × Chicken Is Nice while steadily crafting material for their next release.
