The album artwork is once again brought to you by Takumi and Sausen , our talented in-house designers at TRES.

Although I miss LA so much, there are some benefits living in Japan. This is one of them. I don’t think this book is issued in English.
This year marks our 20th Anniversary, and we’re thrilled to announce a series of special projects to mark this incredible journey.
Kicking off our celebration is the beat album collaboration between Ohmega Watts from Lightheaded and Chikaramanga from Giant Panda. Our very first full-length release was Giant Panda’s “Fly School Reunion”, closely followed by Lightheaded’s “Wrong Way”. These albums not only set the tone for our early years but also paved the way for our current focus on beats.
This beat album will be released on both vinyl and digital formats! Stay tuned for more updates!
Straight out from Sichuan. The real Dan Dan Noodles.
Music: Chikaramanga “Hibiki”
It is our CFO’s birthday today! She dictates our R&D budget (how much I can spend on records every month). Happy birthday!
Chikaramanga’s new beat album, “Progressing to the Stone Age Phase One” is now available on all major digital platforms!
Chikara's approach to beat making is heavily influenced by 90s Hip Hop. As part of a new generation of beat makers who are creating fresh styles, he recognizes the unique qualities of the 90s beat making style. You can hear his respect for the era in this beat album.
Turn on the sound for this post! Dive into snippets of four tracks from the album. And if you haven't already, check out our previous post to listen to more tracks from the album!

"In 2024, TRES proudly celebrates its 20-year anniversary. Marking this momentous occasion, we are reigniting our passion by resuming the release of new titles, with a special emphasis on beat albums. These instrumental titles will feature TRES's distinctive black logo, fondly referred to internally as the 'black label'. This stands in contrast to TRES's original and iconic red logo, reflecting our commitment to our roots while charting a fresh direction. On 12/1/2023, we are thrilled to release the inaugural phase of Chikaramanga's beat series, 'Progressing to the Stone Age'."
Moving has officially been completed by setting these up at our new place in Tokyo. Thank you, for the speaker recommendation! These speakers sound amazing! New releases, new beats are coming!
