This summer, Boiler Room & Native Instruments took Kode9 to Tokyo to explore the full spectrum of Japanese bass culture. A central focal point of our trip was an introduction to the ancient discipline of taiko: the enormous tree-hollowed drums used in Japanese culture for thousands of years. Originally used as fearful instruments in the theatre of war, it's only in the last half-century that they've been used for performance. As an academic in sonic warfare and the theoretics of bass, Kode9 was our ideal candidate to tackle their sheer magnitude.

Over the course of a few days, he set out sampling various taiko and took them into the studio with Osaka-based footwork producer DJ Fulltono. The result is "TKO", a heavy-duty 160BPM workout that brings the ancient drums right into the modern context of Tokyo's futurist footwork scene.

Welcome to my world! 
It's getting bigger everyday.

My music isn't very categorised. I have quite some categories I think. I just want to make everything I think of when I hear synths and sounds and even sing along when I feel like.

A lot of experimenting, f*cking around and finding out, getting happily lost in the world of sounds 🥰 Meanwhile trying to master the endless possibilities of digital music making. FL Studio, a midi keyboard and me.

I am building this world to give an extra dimension to my current (musical) reality as a piano teacher and choir conductor.
🌬 Life is demanding and I need a way out sometimes (often!).

This summer I'll try to share more of that world. With almost 200 tracks on soundcloud it's time to go next level! ☀️

A big, big, big thank you for all my followers, supporters and all the creators here on Soundcloud. It's very inspiring and uplifting to hear and to be in touch with so many amazing musicians!

The discord Music For Cars Collective has raised me up to new heights, happy and proud to be a part of that now as well! 

Being selected to NEW18 in 2024 has reassured me to proceed this trip into electronic music 😍

Music has NO LIMITS, which suits me very much.
