Legendary Artist Shinichi Osawa Makes Label Debut With FCKNJP EP

Japanese legend Shinichi Osawa makes his label debut with his new FCKNJP EP out now via Dirtybird Records.

An ambitious debut from one of Asia’s most eclectic electronic visionaries, FCKNJP is a hyperactive two-track exploration into the spontaneous spirit of Shinichi Osawa’s iconic style. The EP kickstarts with ‘LUVTECHNO’, a percussive-heavy opener that spirals with acidic energy and dizzying progressions over its five minutes. Its companion, ‘FCKNJP’, is equally equipped with erratic and volatile parities as it weaves through tenacious countermelodies and high-powered builds. Attention-grabbing from start to finish, FCKNJP is a sublime experimental offering from Osawa.
