Back In Stock

Critically acclaimed composer, producer and electronic musician Mark Barrott releases his new album Jōhatsu () via Reflections, the new imprint from the Anjuna
family, which focuses on downtempo, ambient, and alternative releases.

An artist that creatively speaking, never stops moving, Barrott’s musical career has taken
many forms. From Future Loop Foundation, the alias he used to create and perform ambient
drum and bass from the mid-90s, to his Sketches from an Island albums released under his
own name, and as founder of the highly influential International Feel label, Barrott has spent
close to four decades exploring new sonic territory and pushing the boundaries of various
genres, and is considered a pivotal figure in the revival of the Balearic music scene of the
last decade.


Barrott’s new album, Jōhatsu (), is predictably unpredictable. Released on Reflections, the
new downtempo label from the Anjuna family, it’s a full departure from anything Barrott’s
written before, partly because he was writing to moving picture. Towards the end of 2019, he
had been working so relentlessly as a record producer for artists such as South African DJ
Themba and the late Virgil Abloh, that he developed Repetitive Strain Injury, and was forced
to take time off, and it was during this down-time he received an email from a director
asking him to write the score for his new documentary, ‘Jōhatsu... the art of Evaporation’.

Jōhatsu () is an 8-track journey through the sounds, sights, smells and sensations of
traditional and contemporary Japanese culture.
