WONKThe release of two albums at the same time and a collaboration with the prestigious jazz label Blue Note are just a few examples of the many recent topics of conversation.Epistroph."Another artist of interest from the "Mere Old Man" has appeared on the scene. The album "I against I" by dhrma, an up-and-coming beat maker who also actively participates in overseas labels, was released digitally on January 31.
The more you listen to it, the more addictive its "poisonous" sound will be. The following is an excerpt from the release. For your reference, here it is.
Although based on the traditional sampling style of hip-hop composition, the sound is simple and luxurious at the same time, and repeated listenings of the album will further deepen the listener's appreciation of the music. The album features Aru-2, an up-and-coming beat maker who is also closely associated with WONK.
In conjunction with this release, the first event in the Kansai region organized by "Epistrophe" will be held at "y gion," a new cultural spot in Kyoto. In addition to dhrma, Ballhead, who also released an album, will take the stage. The live performance by these two who will lead the next generation of the Kansai beat scene is not to be missed.
Label mates Hikaru Arata and Phennel Koliander of WONK will join the DJs, and Ayatake Ezaki of WONK will join on keyboards for a special beat session.
We will gather in Kyoto on February 17 (Sat.). Check the details at the bottom of this page for more information!
