ユートピア

A 2017 slushwave blueprint that’s been chasing its own format destiny across tape and disc—now finally planted on wax. From Tokyo to Honolulu constructs a melancholic drift through neon-soaked mall ambience and fractured city sounds, the kind of album that sounds equally at home in a late-night convenience store or dissolving into sleep. If you’ve heard the acolytes but not the source, this explains why so many producers spent the last decade chasing this particular shade of resigned beauty.

Originally released in 2017, ユートピア (Utopia) quickly became one of the defining albums of the slushwave scene. It was later released on cassette and MiniDisc by Aloe City in 2019, and on cassette again by Qingdao Market in 2025.

Now it's finally coming to vinyl for the first time via No Problema Tapes
