YUKARI FRESH

Salary_Diz

Anybody else totally dig this chick/band? Shit is soooo genius... especially as far as mixing oddball samples and synthesizers and singy songy happy songs all at the same time without it being a complete trainwreck. this is the most creative music i've heard in years.If you are on soulseek I'd recomend "Erik" to start with. its really short, only like 17 minutes, but those 17 minutes are so fucking awesome. I also like Cityrama too.I know I'm not the only one up on this.... come and celebrate... it EngRish at its most entertaining!

Hello all...
First post, cheers.

I'm living in Tokyo and used to listen to Yukari and that whole Escalator Records crew all the time. Before they got super French...?
Certainly not for everyone, but very interesting and unique.
Could in no way be described as
But Shiit...that shit was my shit.
She's got a new one which I haven't heard.

But if you're diggin it, also check out:
Yugo[star] (yukari's husband), Citrus (trebel insanse), Losfeld (ESC label prex Masashi Naka), and the best of the bunch: CUBISMO GRAFICO (Gakuji Matsuda 1/2 of Neil & Iraiza, who weren't as sample based, but just as good).

I recommend Cubismo Grafico's first LP "TOUT!" and the mini LP "mini".
If you don't have it, grab that Bungalow comp from years back "Escalator Records TOKYO" which is worth the price for Cubismo's "Salon a Sunday" alone.

LP "TOUT!"

NICE. headz know da deal.

NachoManCandySandwich

yes, truly the deal.
heh, although "Travelin'" would have piqued my interest!
but not all that into too much of the J-poppycock (excluding Puffy, and p5 sorta lead me here.)

But back to the Shibuya-kei at hand...

those escalator dudes are putting a track of mine on their new comp.

nice dude

NachoManCandySandwich

That is maximum power!
I haven't been keeping up with their recent stuff, but I'm sure its quality.
Their club nights are fun too.
Whats the name of the comp? I will look for it.
