WAQWAQ KINGDOM
Ultramodern Folklore: experimental club sounds intertwine with Japanese mythology
WaqWaq Kingdom is a Japanese tribal bass duo, consisting of Kiki Hitomi and Shigeru Ishihara, based in Leipzig and Berlin. Their genre and time bending sound is like a psychedelic Nabe hot pot: melting Japanese traditional style Minyo with Jamaican dancehall, footwork, dub, techno, tribal polyrhythms and Super Nintendo soundtracks in an endless range of stylistic adventures.
Shigeru Ishihara aka DJ Scotch Egg - has been a distinctive alien orbiting the dance music galaxy for over a decade, releasing radiantly unpredictable solo records through the legendary and now defunct experimental label Load Records, and performing as a member of British post-rock band Seefeel. Vocalist & lyricist Kiki Hitomi is formerly a member of King Midas Sound (along with The Bug and Roger Robinson), and co-founded iconic Japanese dubstep-noise duo Dokkebi Q.
