Over this period, he has had multiple releases spanning a range of styles, but \u003cem\u003eMagic Hour\u003c\/em\u003e promises to be a collection of tracks showcasing his personal evolution as an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis previous releases under the moniker Sato showcased the dub and ambient side of his sonic repertoire, and Magic Hour appears to build and expand on these ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track ‘Magic Hour’ — is a prime example of the sound he’s honing in on for this project. At seven-and-a-half minutes long, it’s a slow-burner, with new elements expertly placed, creating a moody, atmospheric sensation. The almost whisper-like percussion is as soothing and euphoric as the bass is rolling, driving the track along its path. It’s a collaboration with Kuniyuki Takahashi on percussion, giving the track its undeniably natural and organic feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remainder of the LP is as equally dub and minimal-influenced as the title track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Blast’ is a much slower Tomiie than we’re used to, with a beefy in-your-face dub hitting your core. ‘Meditation in an Emergency’ is a slowed-down minimal techno track with synths unlike any other surrounding you in bliss. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mixmag.asia\/read\/satoshi-tomiie-third-album-magic-hour-dub-minimal-techno-abstract-architecture-new-releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMixMag Asia\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/03MuhiJHR86ewwuY45MdrT?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl tracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA1  You Are Here\u003cbr\u003eA2  M01\u003cbr\u003eAA1 Magic Hour \u003cbr\u003eAA2 Blast\u003cbr\u003eC1  A52\u003cbr\u003eC2  Phase Space\u003cbr\u003eD1  Meditation In An Emergency\u003cbr\u003eD2  Fast Track\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Abstract Architecture \u003cbr\u003eFormat:2 x Vinyl, 12\", Album\u003cbr\u003eRepressed: 2025 \/ Original: 2024\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: House, Deep House, Dub Techno\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Electronic \/\/ House\/Electro\/Techno\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abstract Architecture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46192684892318,"sku":"AALP003","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a_df78f75b-3d98-4621-9013-57ac295e3f73.jpg?v=1763197727","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/satoshi-tomiie-magic-hour-2025-repress","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
