Drowsy Carnival

Test Pressing

A solitary moment by the shoreline, where inner voices echo between waves and chords.
Floating pianos, mellow upright bass, and the subtle whisper of "it’s me" drift through space,
creating an introspective, lo-fi jazzhop groove.

A moment held in stillness.
Muted drums, slow-moving bass, and a piano that barely speaks—yet says everything.
A single drop falls onto the keys, echoing into quiet.
No story, no tension—just a loop of feeling.
Minimal, emotional, and quietly overwhelming.

Based in the outskirts of Chiba, I produce a wide range of tracks—from jazzy hip-hop to dark, minimal, and experimental beats.
Unbound by genre, I focus on groove, texture, and spatial atmosphere, building tracks daily in my home studio.

My musical influences include DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Nujabes, Green Assassin Dollar, KREVA, Dadamnphreaknoizphunk, Mark Rae, and Slo Five.

I began my career as a DJ in 1995 at the age of 17. In the early days, I was deeply drawn to the hypnotic, immersive side of techno, especially artists like Justin Berkovi.
Later, I became immersed in the underground, funk-infused tech house scene surrounding London’s WIGGLE movement, led by artists such as Terry Francis and Nathan Coles. I performed with a focus on minimal, swing-heavy grooves.

Today, drawing from those sensibilities, I produce instrumental works rooted in hip-hop, breakbeats, and leftfield rhythms—emphasizing space, groove, and the expressive potential of restraint.
