Are you sure about that? All the info i've ever
gotten about Takemura mentions his own Lollop
label.
FROM FORCED EXPOSURE CATALOG:
. LOLLOP SAMPLER CD (LRCD001)
"Japanese underground/experimental dance label started by DJ Takemura in
1993 (known for his Audio Sports associations, as well at the Child's View
album). Mostly a 12" label to date, they have now released these 2 CDs.
This sampler features exclusive tracks from 8 Japanese artists associated
with Lollop: Reflection ("the most watched band from Lollop. The sound was
created by programming and guitar. Strange but danceable and melodious
sound has mysterious charm"); DJ Dan & Ho ("Hiroshi Okamoto's sampling
tracks"); Tuttle & Dynamo Labo ("techno rock unit from Osaka"), Child's
View ("new unit by DJ Takemura"); Modern Conception; Filter Works ("hip hop
breakbeat tracks"); Liberal Music ("new ambient approach"); Voice Of The
Instrument (DJ Toshi's unit). "
FROM A REVIEW IN MUZIK MAGAZINE:
Reflection "Transparent"
Anyone familiar with Japan's ever healthy jazz and hip hop scene,
represented by labels such as Idyllic, Bellisima!, and Lollop, will also
know the music of producers like Nobukazu Takemura, The Silent Poets and DJ
Krush. The debut album from Reflection has already established the artist's
reputation as one of Japan's finest exponents of this form of music, and
has been received with high acclaim amongst their peers both in Japan and
Europe. Reflection are two brothers Ichiro Taniguchi (programming) and
Kenji Taniguchi (guitars & programming) who, alongside bass player Kozo
Ueda, have had a string of releases on Takemura's Lollop label and two
remixes on his "Child's View" album on Idyllic alongside Aphex Twin,
Coldcut and the Mad Professor. "This is sci-fi jazz for the millenium!"
(Muzik)
FROM A CLEAR LABEL WEBSITE:
Reflection::
Ichiro och Kenji Taniguchi, two brothers living in Tokyo, have been on
the top of the japanese jazz-hop pyramid since it was built. Their debut
"The Errornormous World" have established their reputation as one of the
most brilliant music producers in the genre. The EP releases on Nobukazu
Takemura's Lollop label gave rise to this, and then Clear brought the debut
album to Europe. Watch out for these ones, jazzy junk and brassy funk for
the future!
Or does DJ Takemura have more than one label?
