Study

8 months after the release of Second Nature, Tigersushi presents a rich and diverse collection of remixes from the acclaimed album that proposed to redefine our relationship to Nature.
This is an occasion for Joakim, who hand-picked all the remixers here, to bridge the gap between generations, genres and eras as he always likes to do. You’ll find a wide spectrum of artists on the leftfield and avant-garde side of electronic music, from all around the world : some pioneers and legends, some young upcoming talents and some unsung heroes of the underground.
The goal was also to create a remix album that is not just a collection of club bangers but rather a consistent record that you can listen to from start to finish.

808 State surprised us with an amazing free-form electronic Jazz version of Kepler-39 proving that you can still re-invent yourself after more than 30 years of outstanding releases.

JOAKIM - Kepler - 39 (808 State Remix)

"Writing an album gave me the opportunity to expand what I was making beyond the club, and I found myself returning to the world of some of the earliest sketches I made for Wordcolour. In these experiments, I was kind of trying to create "scenes". Tracks which had the emotional tone and texture of a scene from a movie, but without the visuals or the narrative. Kind of like how it feels to fall asleep in front of an episode of the X files or something."

"This track features some amazing percussion work by Michael Anklin. I came across Michi's work on his brilliant collaborative record with Kilchhofer on the Marionette label. I asked Michi to record a number of different textures and improvisations for me which I would then cut up and reorder. I remember the day the first recordings arrived I had such a big smile on my face, and this track really showcases his work on the record."

"I also worked with my friend Es Morgan to create a long list of beautiful, evocative words which I then recorded, cut up, and used throughout the record. On Crescent, I arranged the words to try to create the hint of a narrative. I'll leave you to see if you can figure out what is happening: a strange and vivid moment in the forest."

ISLA33 - “Somaesthesia” is for the body, for how the body feels and how the body communicates with its soul. It was written through a year of growth and sickness, which stimmed inflection to a body at rest, a body aroused, a body communicating needs, a body happy, a homeostatic body, a friend body.

I Don't Wanna Let You Go

DIEMAJIN is the duo of Berlin-based producer @DJDIESOON (Daisuke Imamura) and Tokyo-based vocalist MA. Their self-titled debut is equal parts scrambled hip-hop, simmering noise and spectral Tokusatsu soundtrack. A set of cursed beats and possessed raps inspired by Japanese sci-fi and supernatural-horror films from the 1960s.

The pair, both originally from Japan, first collaborated live at an event in Berlin organised by Morphine Records in 2019. But the eleven tracks on their self-titled debut were made by swapping beats, sounds and acapellas across the internet. Editing, arranging and degrading them into the collection presented here.

DIEMAJIN’s theme is Japanese movies from the sixties. Especially influential is Daimajin (which the duo’s name references alongside being a loose portmanteau of their solo monikers). A 1960 film about a giant warrior god, Daimajin falls under the Tokusatsu umbrella - live action movies which use practical, ‘handmade’ special effects, whether monster suits, miniature model cities, or everyday objects hi-jacked into props.

“I’m interested in how they made those movies. I think how my music is made is very similar,” explains MA. “I use the sound of my life when I make music. Hitting the table, the wind blowing. I think it’s like how the flying saucer in the movie was made by an ashtray. Some of the sounds in "UYAMUYA" [track six on DIEMAJIN] were actually made using an ashtray.”

Embedded in Tokyo’s hip-hop scene, MA’s distinct rapping has also drawn comparison with ancient Japanese vocal methods. His previous releases and collaborations showcase a triumphant combination of extended technique and liquid flow. “I do that without thinking,” MA explains. “It’s like Michael Jackson’s “POW!” or heavy metal‘s shout. I don’t know why I do that. Burst out. Energy flow.”

Those instinctive vocal gymnastics are still present with DIEMAJIN, most notably in the gurgling start to “UYAMUYA”, but they’re reeled into far more ominous, apparitional ends. MA rants and cackles over DJ DIE SOON’s coarse electronic tones and incessant minimal patterns. The producer’s mutated synths and warped samples embrace a more textural, less explicitly rhythmic terrain than his recent productions. Beats do come in, such as on “GYAFOOON” or “MOSHI MOSHI”, but they serve to amplify rather than release the scuffed and eerie gait seeping through the album.

Daisuke mentions two more movies, Jigoku and Kwaidan, which ventured into folk-horror terrain but used similar production techniques to Tokusatsu, as also being influential on DIEMAJIN. While DIEMAJIN don’t sample from these films, they emulate their ambiences. It can be heard in the heavy compression through the album and the cracked yet vivid space the voice and sounds erect. “These films have a special texture, they’re beautiful despite the old-fashioned technologies and processes they used to make them,” Daisuke continues. “But also, when you see these movies now, they’ve really degraded with age. When someone screams, the sound distorts.”

It is this quality: a scream from the past becoming distorted through the medium of its transmission, perhaps, that DIEMAJIN most concretely channel in their music. A sense of some cursed broadcast leaking broken and mangled into the present. There’s a long thread connecting hip-hop to cinema. From Wu-Tang Clan’s kung-fu movie samples through to the Horrorcore of Geto Boys and Gravediggaz. DIEMAJIN plug into this history but bring in their own reference points. In doing so, they fixate on the disturbing mechanics of foreboding itself. Slow-building disquiet rather than shock and gore, they leave a mark far more pervasive than a momentary jump-scare.
