Originally recorded at PRANKS! Vol.9 @ Bacon in Okubo, Tokyo in 2023
Locals described the performance as a “taiko drum beat non-stop at exceeding decibels”
Takahide Higuchi, better known as 食品まつり(Shokuhin Matsuri) a.k.a foodman, creates music that defies categorisations – and is one of the few artists that actually fit this overused description. There are traces of almost every electronic music genre, from juke, footwork, ambient, house, techno, to noise, but those elements are dissected and morphed together then driven to extreme without giving you a second to come up with a definitive genre. The noisy technicolour of these borderline versatile or schizophrenic collages is borne out of his experiments (or accidents) and has titillated, confused, and enchanted music obsessives far and wide.
