Bad Album Name = Kickass Muzaik!!!


We have never doubt Shinichi Osawa's ability to make kickass tunes, but we never knew he had so much in him. This former member of the Japanese band Monde Grosso went on to reinvent himself into one of the top electronic dance musicians of our time. With this new album, Sinichi would have cemented his place at the top echelons of the electro-clash musicians.

The thing that surprises me is I've known Shinichi's style to be the lyte-funky, soothe blending type, but since of late after signing with Kitsune, Shinichi had dropped some dirty, banging electro sounds. In this album, he took it up to another notch, integrating alot of Daft Punk/Justic-esque kind of French Touch into his tunes. On top of that, the album also features alot of big name guest vocalists, including Au Revoir Simone, Princess Superstar and Freeform Five. Definately worth listening, and do get your copy when it reaches our shores.
