Another Interplanetary Star Creature team up for a Chicago <-> Tokyo expedition across a fusional soundscape ranging from bossa nova lounge to pre-vaporwave exotica; new age city pop to minimal library boogie.

June Chikuma is best known now for her ground breaking Video Game soundtrack throughout the late 1980s and early 90s, most notably the now cult-classic status Bomberman Hero OST for Nintendo. During this same period of the late , she produced many recordings for a wide variety of clients including Japanese Public Transit Commercials, Video Game Arcades and VHS Nature Documentaries.

We reached out to June in 2019 with the hopes of combing her archives to present the modern listener base here on Earth. We selected a nice mix of tracks as entry point in June's work. These tracks have been rescued from obscurity, remastered and waxed up for contemporary universal enjoyment.

Hear Chikuma & Co. interpret influence's from Kraftwerk to Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock to Eric Dolphy, and Composers Ali Sriti to Paul Hindemith across a legendary line up of hardware synths ranging from Yamaha DX7, Korg Polysix, Roland D-550, and Oberheim Matrix-1000.

After a brief hiatus, one of Belgrade’s finest returns in 2021 with a double-header on Tim Zawada’s legendary Star Creature Records! MIMS is proud to present the A side of this heavy 7”.

With its atmospheric layers, synth jabs and Lone-esque melodies, “Heavy in Stereo” is a deep, modern funk banger, simply begging to be played on long summer night drives. 

“Funnily enough, this was a track I had in the vault since around 2017. If there was one good thing to come out of the pandemic, then it was that the lockdown made musicians go in to the lab and work on their craft”, Jadranin says. 

The 7” is available via Star Creature and is out next week in all relevant stores.

Exclusive Premiere: Igor Jadranin "Heavy In Stereo"

This is whatever I want it to be when I need it.
