Septemba EP is the first EP under the name bitowa, also known as KOR-ONE. KOR-ONE is best-known as a hip-hop beat maker and member of the collective TempleATS during the 00s. Originally, for about 10 years, he had been creating music using only an MPC2000 and samples from records. However, after changes in his production environment, personal relationships, and relocation to Okinawa, he discovered the sound of beats made with synth drums. And about 7-8 years ago, he transitioned to four-on-the-floor music. In March 2024, I offered to release this EP after hearing the original version of Septemba that he created around 2021. Then, in May, I visited him and his family in Okinawa. Together, we absorbed the Okinawan air, ate local food, got drenched in the rainy season, and deepened our relationship. Dotei Records created this record as an important milestone in the timeline of his musical journey. As you drop the needle on the record, imagine the vast, vivid Okinawan sea and sky, and the indescribable air that fills you the moment you step off the plane. Enjoy.
