"We’re back like blossom in the spring after a short winter hiatus to present you the new EP by some old Japanese friends: CRYSTAL. Some of you might remember them from their two awesome releases on the late Institubes “Initiative” and “Magic”. The group formed by Shinya Sato, Keita Onishi, Ryota Miyake & Sunao Maruyama is known for incorporating strangely poetic computer-generated visuals to their songs, their visual identity is as strong as their sonic identity. Early in their career, their tracks varied from naive early Shinjuku electro hommages to melancholic 3D tear drop synth ballads tied together by an obsession for laserdisc and video games aesthetics.

The “GET IT?!” EP taylor-made for Sound Pellegrino is a whole different story. While the Kraftwerk and YMO influences are still palpable, this time the music is willingly functional and club-ready, they are not exploring the past but rather inventing a new sound for Crystal, giving life to their aesthetics in a club context, still motivated by pure feelings of digital romanticism, the megalopolis and the ever-changing world of technology."
