Catalog #:
DB S03LP
"Munich, 1998. In the Nomia bar, where Japanese immigrants meet Bavarian traditions, the collaboration of Tokyo native artist/singer Cami Tokujiro and Austrian producer/musician Hans Platzgumer sets off. Platzgumer, who found international fame with his New York based rock band HP Zinker, and his various European electronic projects (Cube & Sphere, Aura Anthropica, Fingerfood) is fascinated by Tokujiro's guttural voice and classy appearance. Together with Viennese electronic pioneer Gerhard Potuznik they produce their first tracks. Combining a relentless sense for raw breakbeats and elaborate electronica with Tokujiro's poppy melodies and mysterious lyrics, a new mixture of East Asian-European pop music is created, using drum & bass elements as well as dark wave influences. Digital Austrian melancholy is inspired by Japanese clarity. Shinto confronts bizarre Japanese pop elements with raw european electronica. Cami Tokujiro and Hans Platzgumer invent themselves as a pop duo without compromises. Platzgumer digitalizes and rips Tokujiro's voice apart and puts it together in a new body. 'Shinto' means 'the divine path'."
