Hey everyone, I’m a beatmaker from Japan. Just wanted to share a new beat I’ve been working on lately. I tried blending a gentle Bossa Nova vibe with classic Boom Bap, and I’d really appreciate any thoughts or feedback you might have.

I hope you enjoy the chorus, I put a lot of heart into it.

I snapped that cover photo myself at Tennoji Zoo here in Japan.

I’m actually quite familiar with Ninja Tune and Wagon Christ. Their early catalog has been a major source of inspiration for me, so drawing that comparison is a huge compliment. I’ll be sure to share my new material right here once it’s ready.

    That's great to hear. I lived through the mid-late 2000s on a diet of Ninja Tune and Bill Laswell, and it's nice to see someone familiar with either of them. Also, I assume you know about Wagon Christ's alternative identity, which was to spur Aphex Twin to switch from ambient to drill'n'bass of 'Richard D. James Album'.
