The Sound of Japanese IDM

"The Sound of Japanese IDM" is a sideways glance into the world of intricate beats, shimmering textures, and experimental electronics from Japan’s vibrant IDM scene. Bringing together defining artists like Rei Harakami, Aoki Takamasa, and Ametsub alongside newer innovators like Foodman, Toiret Status, and 34423, the playlist spans a wide range of moods — from Serph’s playful, sparkling melodies to Yosi Horikawa’s finely detailed sound constructions.

Digging into dreamy glitches on tracks like "Fly 2," weightless ambient pop like "Requiem," the kinetic sway of "Movers and Shakers," and the leftfield chaos of "Saddam Fed Birds While Jailed," the collection highlights how diverse Japanese IDM can be. Whether it's the serene lift of Susumu Yokota, the jagged experiments of Himuro Yoshiteru, or the surreal, broken rhythms from NHK'Koyxen, each track offers a different view into a scene that's as unpredictable as it is detailed.
