New Foodman: “Sonzai Mondai”
ByPatrick St. Michel June 8, 2016

Everything is coming up Foodman. His recently released Ez Minoku has gotten some welcome critical love (and is one of my favorites of 2016, for sure), while the wonky producer is also set to go on a European tour later this year. And now he has hooked up with Mad Decent sub-label Good Enuff…who also…

Carpainter Teams Up With Maxo For “Amazing!!!”
ByPatrick St. Michel October 22, 2015

Premiered over at Nest HQ, Carpainter has teamed up with New York producer Maxo for a new single called “Amazing!!!” It’s tempting to always talk about collaborations like this “striking a balance,” as that’s an easy way to talk about a song made by two people.

New Sakanaction Video: “Years”
ByPatrick St. Michel July 17, 2015

Sakanaction have a new album out the first week of August! Pump the brakes a bit…Japan’s best (and most ambitious) chart-gracing band will release a “concept album,” though the concept turns out to be “b-sides and remixes” which…hey, fresh Sakanaction is better than no Sakanaction, but let’s not go throwing the “c” word around for…

ByPatrick St. Michel November 27, 2017

Wasabi Tapes continue to be the go-to destination in Japan for nerve-frying experimental music, and the label’s two newest albums highlight two sides to their approach. PF’s Dreamscape recalls the chaotic sample-deluge of DJWWWW and N. Brennan’s Scary Moments series, with sounds sourced from radio station bumps, movies and video games (MONSTER KILL) colliding together….

Junior Boys Remix Yoko Ono’s “Give Me Something”
ByPatrick St. Michel April 16, 2010

Obligatory “Yoko Ono’s an amazing artist and if you think differently you are very wrong” point. OK, with that out of the way…the Japanese avant-gardist’s 1980 tune “Give Me Something” gets a 21st century makeover courtesy of Junior Boys. The Canadian duo transform Ono’s track into…a Junior Boys track. It’s all sexy synths and space….

Blurred Voices, Blurry Results: Ziyoou-Vachi’s “Desco”
ByPatrick St. Michel August 11, 2011

Not to turn this blog into a “hey gang, look at my life!” sorta thing, but last night I went to an event put on by Sony Music Japan meant to promote relatively new signing Ziyoou-Vachi. The concert happened in an old cabaret within the sleazy backstreets of Kabuki-cho, a district overflowing with all sorts…
