Underground καλλιτέχνης footwork
Japanese musicians Shigeru Ishihara (DJ Scotch Egg / Seefeel) and Kiki Hitomi (King Midas Sound) team up for a new release under their mind-bending WaqWaq Kingdom guise, a thrilling exploration of "minyo footwork". Together, Ishihara and Hitomi draw on imagery from traditional Japanese mythology, combining this influence with Jamaican dancehall, 8-bit techno, African polyrhythms and experimental electronic music, with plenty more helping to colour a powerful, vibrant palette. The combined interests, abilities and scope of two hugely creative musicians (both currently based in Germany) results in a brilliant, intoxicating explosion of noise that speaks volumes to their musical powers.
WaqWaq Kingdom creates a unique sound known as "minyo footwork," blending traditional Japanese folk music with experimental electronic, dub, and tribal bass influences.
WaqWaq Kingdom is a duo consisting of vocalist Kiki Hitomi and producer Shigeru Ishihara, also known as DJ Scotch Egg.
WaqWaq Kingdom's members are originally from Japan, but the duo is currently based in Berlin, Germany.
