Form@ Slit Art 2

From the Form@ Records Bandcamp page:

“I am delighted to be able to release the second compilation in FORM@ RECORDS' sub-series SLIT ART. While FORM@ RECORDS is increasingly recognized as a Japanese underground techno label from the 1990s onwards, particularly in the IDM vein, SLIT ART is a series I have continued modestly with the desire to broaden the label's scope.
I released our first compilation in 2025, and through wonderful artists providing tracks, I experienced both deep gratitude and a renewed awareness that my label is one capable of connecting with such diverse artists. While I cannot say awareness has spread widely, I hope that by continuing on, we will gradually gain more fans.”

The latest installment of FORM@ RECORDS’ popular compilation series, Art Form - Art Form 4.

Although it has been released only about half a year after the previous volume, getting to this point was by no means easy. The concept had been in mind since the Art Form 3 era, and right after that release we began gathering tracks for this new compilation. At one point, we thought we might be able to release it as early as April or May. While the tracks our artists sent us were all outstanding, they were also quite diverse in genre, which made it difficult to achieve a cohesive compilation.
As a result, we decided to create the first-ever compilation for our sub-series SLIT ART, with a different musical direction from Art Form. By separating the tracks according to genre, we reallocated the submissions and planned to release both projects simultaneously.

We could share many behind-the-scenes stories, but above all, we are simply happy that both projects are now complete and ready to share with you. Incidentally, with the exception of Missing Project, the lineup of artists on Art Form 4 is different from Art Form 3. This happened partly by chance, but also reflects our intentional choices. This does not mean we have grown distant from the artists who appeared previously. We see the Art Form series as a continuing platform and a place to introduce new artists to our audience as well as to provide a stage for familiar artists to take on new creative challenges."
