Skam Records present an album from Sensational and Koyxen, recorded in Berlin, Osaka, Japan and Brooklyn, NY in 2009-2010. Sensational (formerly Torture) debuted in 1993 on Jungle Brothers' J. Beez Wit The Remedy, then busted out a strong solo with 1997's Loaded With Power, a maverick, lo-fi piece of speaker-wrecking bass, chest-caving beats, and gruff, marble-mouthed self-aggrandizement. Koyxen aka Kouhei Matsunaga grew up in Osaka, Japan listening to hardcore techno and rap and studying architecture. He started to make music back in 1992 focusing on the experimental. Kouhei has worked with artists such as Merzbow, Asmus Tietchens, Conrad Schnitzler, Autechre's Sean Booth and Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), Max Turner and Paul PM (Puppetmastaz). In 2006, Koyxen and Sensational made Sensational Meets Kouhei on WordSound, and this album is meant to be volume 2 in this remarkable collaboration.
