Funky Fresh: Metome’s Cloud EP
“Noctilucent Cloud” starts the same way a lot of electronic songs made by independent producers in Japan do – a minimalist beat and some clicking, ominous background noise and what sounds like giant drips of water hitting the bottom of a sink. Nothing wrong with this approach to production, but it would have left Metome…
PixaPhonica #2 Compilation Featuring Kai Takahashi, Rapunzel8083 And PNDR PSLY
As mainstream Japanese music continues to revolve around only a handful of pop-leaning acts – the biggest sales all come courtesy of groups with a “48” in their name or a boy group from Johnny’s – underground artists who will never have a shot at breaking through into the Oricon world have turned to the…
New Figure: “Make Me Dry”
Nagoya’s Figure pretty much exists outside of any current Japanese music scene going today. His music easily could be classified as DIY indie-pop, but dude’s work is both too dark and too gravely to match up with the rest of Japan’s sunny twee charms. Figure also isn’t particularly arty or wild, discounting him from the…

Jazz Aged: Supple’s Minato Tape
I do not profess to being a guy who knows much about Japanese hip-hop. I have about as basic an understanding of the scene one can get, but that’s it – I don’t know the intricacies or the regional differences or even, like, the fashions (I think Yankees’ caps are popular?). What I do know,…
Moscow Club Tease New Album With Tracks “Letter From Six-Gamelan Syndicate” And “Opening Ceremony;” Also, Give Them Money!
Over the past few weeks, Tokyo’s Moscow Club have been trying to raise funds to put together their first vinyl LP. You can chip in over at Indiegogo, where you can also learn more about the project featuring some of Tokyo’s best (and, uhhhh, me, far from the best) telling you why you should throw…
New Boyish: “Farewell Kisses”
“Farewell Kisses” was up on Tokyo indie-pop group Boyish’s SoundCloud about a month ago, but now it comes attached with a found-footage video. The song is right in Boyish’s comfort zone – the sort of guitar-driven song that you can bounce along too but also cry to.

AAPS Remix…Themselves…Rework “Wearing Light Space”
AAPS have been a little mum as of late, but just in time for the holidays they are back with…a remix of an old song. The group dropped the tropical-tinged number “Wearing Light Space” earlier in the year, and now they’ve got a slightly reworked version of the song streaming over at their MySpace. The…
End Of January Electronic Round Up: New And Vice Versa, Trekkie Trax And Lidly
– Lost in the shuffle of the New Year, Osaka’s And Vice Versa released a new EP via Kiniro Tapes. The founding member of INNIT made a hypnotic set of dust-covered techno, as tracks such as “Magnet” peel like paint at places but still end up morphing into engaging numbers (And Vice Versa gets downright…
New ΔKTR: CAMOble
ΔKTR has long re-arranged songs from yesteryear into new forms, but with CAMOble the producer tries something a little different. Here he is taking the 2017 Camoflauge EP by the rapper Kyoh3i and basically remixing it, swapping out the sparse boom-bap inspired beats of the original for backdrops ripped from ΔKTR’s record collection, resulting in…
New Paperkraft: Here With You / S Act
Three releases deep now, and Kyoto’s NC4K label now looks like a legit player to keep an eye on when it comes to electronic music in Kansai. Their latest comes from Osaka’s Paperkraft, a producer who is often associated with the “lo-fi house” style. That term can be a bit divisive — the main argument…
Tropical Mayhem: Alfred Beach Sandal’s “Camping Car Is Dead”
On “Camping Car Is Dead,” Alfred Beach Sandal propose an intriguing idea – beach music that sounds like it belongs nowhere near an actual coastline. Despite having several sand-coasted trademarks, including very prominent steel drum bouncing, “Camping Car Is Dead” feels like a jigsaw puzzle of Malibu constructed in such a way that everything sorta…
