From Future Loop Foundation, the alias he used to create and perform ambient\ndrum and bass from the mid-90s, to his Sketches from an Island albums released under his\nown name, and as founder of the highly influential International Feel label, Barrott has spent\nclose to four decades exploring new sonic territory and pushing the boundaries of various\ngenres, and is considered a pivotal figure in the revival of the Balearic music scene of the\nlast decade.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarrott’s new album, \u003ci\u003eJōhatsu ()\u003c\/i\u003e, is predictably unpredictable. Released on Reflections, the\nnew downtempo label from the Anjuna family, it’s a full departure from anything Barrott’s\nwritten before, partly because he was writing to moving picture. Towards the end of 2019, he\nhad been working so relentlessly as a record producer for artists such as South African DJ\nThemba and the late Virgil Abloh, that he developed Repetitive Strain Injury, and was forced\nto take time off, and it was during this down-time he received an email from a director\nasking him to write the score for his new documentary, ‘Jōhatsu... the art of Evaporation’.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJōhatsu ()\u003c\/i\u003e is an 8-track journey through the sounds, sights, smells and sensations of\ntraditional and contemporary Japanese culture.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reflections","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50431186174283,"sku":"2013091","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/20000000182460_a7b625bb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726856202","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/johatsu","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
