With Bitter Principles, Reina Takahashi delivers a meditative yet deeply rhythmic take on minimalist dance and dub, marking both his debut album and the inaugural release from Principle of Rhythm Records.

Spanning five tracks, the album moves at an unhurried pace, each element given space to breathe. Its hypnotic grooves unfold deliberately, balancing restraint with emotional depth.

Recorded live, it carries an organic warmth, with fluid arrangements and subtle imperfections adding to its intimate yet expansive feel, rewarding close-listening.

Limited to 100 CDs presented in a soft-pink matte jacket.
