Nobody touchin Japanese Math Rock.

GOAT opening

There are some fire japanese tracks on this one

time to shill one of the greatest japanese producers in recent years because he needs more attention: monkey sequence.19

probably his most important and imo best work is 'Pretend', a collaboration with Dutch R&B singer Mar which was released as an EP along with 2 remixes of the track and the instrumental

a fantastic track with a lush instrumental and great vocals that match the production perfectly. the remixes are neat in their own way too

6AM Rainwalk, a single which is one of his earliest tracks

more lo-fi but you can hear his sound start to emerge here

then there's his LP 'Substantial 12 Monkeys', you can hear a lot of 'classic' monkey sequence.19 production here, futuristic sounding stuff along with the occasional softer, more refined track

at the same time though, there are heavier hip hop-ish tunes which take a lot of inspiration from j dilla and the like

and the track '12 monkeys' which I couldn't find a video of

finally there's his 'Break In-Operation' EP with rapper JANS
pimpquit.bandcamp.com/releases

more dilla love there

discogs also lists another album which he was apparently involved in but I haven't been able to acquire it

discogs.com/Mono-X-Monkey-Mo-Mentous/release/6346514

another great artist is notuv. he is more on the electronic/breakbeat side of things but also has a decent collection of slower/ambient stuff in addition to his usual style

Delta, one of notuv's best that showcases his style perfectly. Despite the somewhat hectic sound, he manages to keep a very clear rhythm throughout, making for a really good tune.

now for his discography, his first album oO0o80 is probably his best work and has a little bit of everything, calmer tracks mixed with more jumbled-sounding and fast paced ones. the best example of his sound imo

the album is available as a free download but the record label, bunkai-kei records seems to no longer have their website functioning anymore, so I have re-uploaded the album.

next up his is fucertc (or 'future erotic') EP, which is available for purchase and features only 2 tracks, the titular 'fucertc' and 'hiatus', both of which are quite good.

finally, his newest album, 'sensitivity of ephemera' was released in 2017, it's softer and more ambient than his usual work. it is also a free download via fikt records's bandcamp

notuv also has various singles/loose tracks on his soundcloud for those that want to hear more of his music

Haru Nemuri is back with a new single after dropping one of the best albums of 2018

Fushigi is such a bop of an album

Love this album

TECHNO KAYO NEEDS MORE LOVE AND IS WAY BETTER THAN CITY POP

Imo Epo has some bops but aren't that great compared to other groups, like maybe chakra

Omg so far there's no love for queen mother KIKUCHI MOMOKO on this thread, I can't. She has the city pop vibes I love
