Thanks to Soulection I’m here.  Great sounds. I’m only 2 tracks in & I’m obssessed! 

When most people hear the name HARIKIRI they immediately conjure up the vivid images depicted in Japanese films of disgraced Samurai committing ritual self-disembowelment in a bid to regain their honour.

Outside of Japan "ha-ri-kiri" is an incredibly widespread misspelling of the Japanese word "ha-ra-kiri" (腹切り, "cutting the belly"), a coarse alternative to the word that is more formally used inside Japan, Seppuku (切腹, "stomach-cutting").

Harikiri's name embodies a number of more colourful meanings, the gerund form of the Japanese verb "hari-kiru" (張り切る). This word simultaneously means to be high-spirited and full of vigour, passion and fearlessly strive further than any other has dared before. 

After learning about the derivation of his name it's no surprise that Harikiri makes such incredible and culturally diverse music.  Born in Birmingham with Jamaican and part Scottish ethnicities; Harikiri (real name André) stumbled upon a copy of Fruity Loops on a laptop at the young age of 15 and began experimenting. 

After receiving co-signs from the likes of ETC!ETC! and other notable DJs, Harikiri worked on his craft with his Transformers EP and expanded his range to include Moomahton, Dubstep, Twerk and Drum N Bass music as well as laying down several remixes. 

From studying Mandarin and Linguistics at degree level, Dré went travelling for a while putting his languages to good use and he currently resides in London despite his fascination with oriental artwork. 
 
After losing all of the data on a hardrive with 4 years worth of music, Harikiri still made major moves in 2014 with releases with our homies Trapdoor Records, the good folks over at Trap93 and it is our pleasure to unveil and support his latest single 'In Memory Of.'
