I Have Dreams - Three Days Till Christmas

I Have Dreams - Countless Rooftops

‘From the Sauna to the Mizuburo
Ecstasy only for those who endure it.‘

Taken from Ill Japonia’s eponymous EP ‘Ill’, Sauna Mizuburo’ dives head first into an ice-cold plunge pool. Frozen synths, crushed snares & Ill Japonia’s piercing screams populate an aural landscape that mutates through (t)rap, shoegaze & metal. Sung in English, Japanese and his own self-invented language, ‘Sauna Mizuburo’ is the sound of artist crystallising their identity right in front of you.

‘Ill’ is the the stargazing debut EP from Ill Japonia. Drawing from a decade of influences being a ringleader of psychedelic acid rock weirdos Bo Ningen, ‘Ill’ is vulnerability and introspection; screamed to the world with pride. Tracing a line between the swagger of The Blue Hearts, the ecstasy of Babymetal and the vivacity of Shibuya’s 2020 rap scene, Ill Japonia places a marker in the sand for all challengers.

This is the first release from Eastern Margins, a platform for sounds from the margins of East & South-East Asia and its diaspora. Rooted in physical community, Eastern Margins is a portal into a new world of unheard voices.
