Kutikula EP 2015 by Reza Fantasy – A Hidden Gem You Didn’t Know You Needed
Alright, so let’s talk about Kutikula EP 2015 by Reza Fantasy. Released under Anything Records in Japan back in—you guessed it—2015, this little EP packs a punch for fans of electronic music with its house and synthwave vibes. It’s not gonna blow up the charts or anything, but man, does it have some moments that stick with you.
First off, I gotta shout out “Ultra Se7en.” This track is like… imagine cruising through neon-lit streets at night on a hoverbike (yeah, I said hoverbike). The beat hits hard, kinda groovy but also kinda mysterious. There’s this one synth riff that just loops in your head long after the song ends—it’s sneaky like that. Like, you’ll be brushing your teeth or whatever and BAM, there it is again. Super catchy without trying too hard, which is rare these days. Honestly, if they made a video game level based around this track, I’d play it nonstop.
Then there’s “Ada Elah Ada,” which feels completely different from the first one. It’s more chill, almost dreamy, like floating in a pool while someone hands you snacks. But don’t get me wrong—it still has that signature Reza Fantasy vibe. The layers build up slowly, and before you know it, you’re vibing harder than expected. There’s something oddly hypnotic about how smooth the transitions are. Feels like getting lost in thought during a lazy Sunday afternoon. Oh, and those subtle vocal chops? Chef’s kiss.
“Udin” rounds out the EP, but honestly, it didn’t grab me as much as the other two tracks. Still solid though! It fits right into the whole aesthetic Reza Fantasy seems to go for—retro-futuristic sounds mixed with modern beats. Kinda niche, but hey, sometimes niche is exactly what you need.
What makes Kutikula EP 2015 stand out isn’t just the music itself—it’s the mood it creates. Listening to it feels like stumbling across an underground club in Tokyo where everyone knows the secret handshake except you. And yet, instead of feeling left out, you feel invited. Weird flex, but okay.
Here’s the thing: albums like this remind you why we love exploring random stuff online. You could’ve easily skipped past this because, ya know, life gets busy. But finding gems like Kutikula makes you wonder how many other awesome things you’re missing out on. Maybe next time you see some obscure Japanese electronica pop up, give it a shot. Or don’t. Your call. Either way, props to Reza Fantasy for making something that sticks around longer than most playlists do.
Oh, and fun fact: I listened to this while eating instant ramen once, and suddenly my dinner felt way cooler. True story.
