Cyber Centre - Electronic Music, OSTs and Interviews — kawaii

Noencity Records is a label out of Hongkong that I have adored since their release of one of my all time favourite EPs, Moe Moe, by Moe Shop back in Fall of 2018. They have released some incredible music from artists like MACROXX 8299, Yung Bae, ミカヅキBIGWAVE and Mark Redito who is responsible for my absolute favourite Underwater Squad remix. Neoncity Records has been at the forfront of nu-disco, future funk, kawaii bass, city pop and all the other vapor adjacent genres without ever pigeonholing themselves out of dropping a cool off genre release. You can dig through and find some synthwave, dream pop or...

Brimming with all the kawaii bass staples like orchestral sections, adorable sound effects and of coarse that pulsating bass synth but amamori P AKA 雨漏り P brings a lot of fresh ideas to the table with this, their latest EP "OMOIDE BASSは未来に繋がらない". This is their second EP to have dropped in 2020 along with "POP'n Hate" which was released at the end of January. They have also had their work appear on the soundtracks to several rhythm games.  The first half of "OMOIDE BASSは未来に繋がらない" is essentially kawaii vocaloid bedroom pop, drawing clear influence from the city pop sound.  Many of the songs later in the...

"Holiday Girl" by Kshiraki is a soundtrack to the 'chillest Mode 7 SNES racing game' never made. These nine tracks are perfect for staring out of a window and daydreaming. Kshiraki is an electronic artist from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan with a sassy, sophisticated sound and a charming back catalogue. This is some sunny afternoon pack-a-picnic-and-hold-hands-with-your-homies type shit. Applying jazz fundamentals to chiptune compositions has always been a winning formula. The precise and deliberate constraints in which tracker music is made make riffing on a square wave inherently interesting. Favourite tracks: "Morning Sun" and "Train Travel".  FFO: Derris-Kharlan, Keiji Tamagishi and Elektrobear.  Holiday Girl by KshirakiFind more of their music below!  kshiraki2.bandcamp.com

Couple N is an artist with an audibly adorable discography, boasting an impressive catalogue of songs, having only been active since 2018. They have almost no information about themselves anywhere but what I can tell you for sure is that they live in Japan and make enchanting downtempo kawaii bass. "Magical Pieces" is a relaxing 5 track adventure full of sparkling synths, future bass fundamentals and  wonderful use of piano and guitar sounds. Favourite track "EARMIE". Magical Pieces by Couple NFFO: Zakku, Yunomi and Ujico*/Snail's House Find more of their music below! couple-n.bandcamp.comsoundcloud.com/couple-n-music
