An analog release from 〈KUMARU〉, led by the eccentric shabushabu aka MeNeM—who is ramping up his activities after a long hiatus—featuring Master Kota, the owner of the famous Cafe la Siesta in Kyoto’s Kiyamachi district for over 20 years and a DJ/producer specializing in chip music track production! Centered on the theme of “Chipwork”—a fusion of chip tune and footwork—this 7-inch record marks a rare release in this still-niche genre. Retro-futuristic and dangerous cyber battle music. 45 RPM. (Adachi)
Dance music from the primal future! It’s kitschy and cool—like jacking in to the world of *Neuromancer* on a Game Boy. Amen, thanks for the sample! —— Psyche Outs G Akira Ohashi
This track combines chip tune and jungle—two of our absolute favorites—making it truly unbeatable! I want to play an RPG where a battle track this awesome plays during boss fights! — Kokushi Musou (Guchon & Fujiko Meijin)
A bizarre masterpiece that turns footwork jungle into a funny and cynical chip-tune! It’s like a Tetris-flavored Umaibo! I love cross-genre fusions! — L?K?O
Chip tune, born from video game music, and footwork, born from dance battles. Although they originated in different places, both are “music for battle.” In terms of stirring up a fighting spirit, they’re actually surprisingly compatible. — Dj Fulltono
