Wewantsounds is pleased to announce the release of Touch, a selection of iconic tracks produced by Yuji Ohno, the legendary Japanese producer who mixes jazz, space funk and disco and is a favorite with DJs around the world. The selection, infused with the producer’s unique sound, features Nanako Sato, Hatsumi Shibata and Ken Tanaka and tracks from the cult anime soundtracks Lupin III and Captain Future. Touch has been remastered by Nippon Columbia and features commentary by Nick Luscombe in conversation with Yuji Ohno. Around the early 1960s, Yuji Ohno began to turn his attention away from the jazz scene and turned his attention to film and television, producing artists for Japan’s most prestigious labels. He became one of Tokyo’s most sought-after composers, arrangers and producers. He enjoyed enormous success with his soundtracks for animated films, most notably for the Lupin III series – from which the very funky “Silhouette” can be seen here. is taken Whether it's jazz, funk, disco or pop, Ohno's sound is instantly recognizable in both his melodies, which are refined yet accessible, and his arrangements, which are characterized by a great sense of space. In this, he is on a par with legends such as Quincy Jones and Michel Legrand.
