iSH by Kyoka
Kyoka – the first solo female artist on the raster roster works as a musician and composer in Berlin and Tokyo. She has been releasing music since 2008 and is known for her chaotic, direct approach and a heavy-rough sound resulting in a broken pop-beat with experimental yet danceable rhythms. »iSH« means »around«, »like« or »about« and reflects her way to be clear by being vague – brightness wrapped in a blanket of obscurity and abstractness.
The EP was produced by her longtime friend Frank Bretschneider and a remix was delivered by Atom™ to tune the first track »HADue« to the dancefloor. Ryuichi Sakamoto underlines the exceptional talent of Kyoka: »Panic! It sounds like a toy box turned up side down. How can she make such pretty & chaotic sounds!? I love it!«
