Those who play Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, or the Japanese game of 100 ghost stories, do so as a test of courage. Game of 100 Ghosts is the title of Rennie Foster’s third full-length album, and the first artist album to be released on his signature label, RF.
Attached to each and every piece of music here, there is a story and a puzzle. This album explores my thoughts and ideas about the state of civilization, and the interconnected role that music, the shaman, and dance, continue to play in the shaping of reality over time.
It also examines the physical stories about life as an obsessed artist, a seeker, a dedicated father, and a warrior, stalking the terrain of ideas and technology.
Intricately designed to blur the boundaries of preconceived definitions, the tracks are not intended to fit into a popular dance-floor genre, but rather to de-occult the sub-cultural connections that run deeply through all spirits of the underground.
Initially, the message of unity is at the fore, while multiple listens will allow obscured messages to emerge and reveal themselves, depending on the willingness of the listener.
NO TO DIVISION. NO TO POLARIZATION. NO TO CENSORSHIP. NO TO WAR.

Firstly, thank you so much to all the supporters of my music everywhere. Every small effort of support is greatly appreciated. Thank you to the promoters and venues that book me, the DJs who play my tracks, and the people that come to dance. Thank you to the many labels that have released and promoted my work over the years. My source of endless inspiration is my family. Thank you to my original partners in the real, Dahlia and Mariko, and my heart Karah Goshinmon. Thank you to my mom and Tony. Thank you to my real friends. Thanks to the creator, the universe, love everlasting. Respect the architects. This album is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Carl, Rest In Power. Shouts going out to all hi-tech underdogs and homeless housers in this music game. Fuck being famous, be infamous. Peace.
The sound of RF, the label, is much like a Rennie Foster DJ set, a unique style that references several eras and genres, and
yet remains completely distinct. RF pays homage to Detroit techno, Chicago house music, B-boy culture and all other subculture that fuels Rennie's rebellious and infamous presence in the underground....more

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
