Submeditate, one of Tokyo’s finest events, has settled in to its new home in Daikanyama’s Saloon. The regular crew will be playing a mixture of dark downbeats, dubstep and breaks on Thursday 18th March from 8pm – 2am. The door charge is 1500 yen with flyer and 1000 yen for Submeditate members. It’s going to be a great night of electronic music in one of the most chilled spots in Tokyo, a full three floors below street level so they can turn it up loud.

Here’s the full line-up:

MANATHOL (bwugung.com)　-LIVE-
DJ NESSILL (OPUESTO)　-DJ-
SECAI (DASMAN + NSD | www.secai.info)　-LIVE-

So Krush will be down at Unit on Saturday the 27th of February from 12 AM. Apparently he’s playing a 6 hour long set. Opuesto’s own DJ Nessill will be rocking the spot, and it promises to be a great night out for all electronic music lovers in Tokyo. It’s also only 2000 yen with a flyer. Boom! Recession beating beats!

UNIT.

News « TwistedTools.com.

TwistedTools.com launches with 6 wonderful Reaktor ensembles and their own vicious, granular sound-molester, Vortex. Yay! Perfect for making electronic music jams or electronic jam music.

Oh yeah, first of January and what a lovely surprise over at the new Rephlex  online store!

DMX is back with 17 choice electro cuts available for a very reasonable six pounds twenty five pence! This a great electronic music release – listening to it as I type, and DMX keeps it funky, full of warm analogue bleeps and my favourite part about it – good solid basslines. Download it, stick it on your ipod, grab your tracksuit and bump it out from your motor. Boom!

Tokyo’s greatest dub and roots reggae system is back for a cheeky bout of bass and beats on Sunday December 6th @ Daikanyama’s Saloon. 1000 yen on the door and it all kicks off at 6pm. As usual, the dope selectahs will be spinning their favourite island anthems, but this event will feature a special live from Mantis, who, based on previous performances will be bringing massive beats to rock Tokyo’s fattest system. Surely an event not to be missed and a special treat for all fans of electronica in Japan.

What happens when you type “japanese electronica” into the tag search of last.fm? It throws up some unusual choices, but you do come across some great artists that you’ve never heard of. Keep hitting that skip button often enough and you’ll soon slap the last.fm robot selectah into shape. So far, today’s click-hopping came up with these little treats:

Fleckfumie

Tiny, but not tinny. Rather like having a bath in an old cupboard and then dozing off to find all of those old board games that you used to play when you were a kid have fallen in the water with you and you are now surrounded by soggy monopoly money and bones from “Operation”. The music, is thankfully a lot better than my writing, so go check ‘em out.

Akihiro Yokotani

No messin’ about here. Straight in with dark, distorted beats dropped onto a dark background of spooky pads. I’m a sucker for this sort of thing, and fair play to the lad, he knows what he’s doing. Good ipod electronica for the following activities: skulking, stalking, buying/selling drugs and making love (when you’re really tired).

Moskitoo

Never heard of her before despite being remixed by a ton of famous producers. I’m just not as hip as I used to think I was. It’s how J-Pop would sound if it was produced on a busted netbook running a cracked copy of max/msp. In other words, it’s pretty damn good. Atmospheric and twisted, but more like a cinnamon twist than a twisted sister.

Naohito Uchiyama

What’s with Japanese dudes always using their real names to make music under? Can’t anyone just use a weird pseudonym anymore? Anyway, this fellow makes sweet beats, minimal and atmospheric. He’s from Sapporo apparently, which means  he must have a lot of free time to polish up those groovy electronic sounds. Good work Naohito.

Sweet mix from Japanese DJ Funnel from his “Moments Of” long player. Still sounds good and makes me ache for summertime.

YouTube user pixmusic shows what you can do with a single loop on the Elektron Machinedrum and a whole lot of parameter locks. Apart from being educational, it’s a pretty damn funky electronic music jam to boot.
