De De Mouse

De De Mouse may be the brainchild of bespectacled Tokyo-based studio room boffin Daisuke Endo. Following business lead of “chiptune” pioneers (and fellow Tokyoites) YMCK, De De Mouse’s audio is seen as a feather-light vocals, housey beats, infectious synth melodies, and lush creation beliefs. Unlike his near-contemporaries YMCK — De De Mouse started lifestyle in 2005, 2 yrs after YMCK debuted — Endo will not bottom his whole oeuvre on soundtracks to video games designed for the eight-bit NES gaming console. Instead, Endo’s split grooves often undertake a darker, even more abstract bent that includes drum’n’bass and ambient. De De Mouse provides won supporters in Tokyo’s music and style scenes: aswell as writing live expenses with famous brands Halfby and Buffalo Little girl, he in addition has soundtracked fashion displays by Takayuki Suzuki, the outfit designer of preference of J-pop celebrities such as for example Mika Nakajima. De De Mouse’s debut recording, 2007’s Tide of Celebrities, was the 1st launch on ExT Recordings, a fresh incarnation from the electronica label Transonic operate by Kazuo Nagata (most widely known for his ambient music label No Gravity). The same 12 months also saw the discharge from the mini-album East End Woman. De De Mouse apparently found followers in J-pop performers Kaela Kimura and Hito Mitoi, who have been, perhaps, most attracted to the startling woman vocals that appear to be they have already been vocoder-treated but are in fact examples of the Mongolian type of neck singing referred to as Khoomii. With second recording Sunset Ladies (2008), De De Mouse discovered a new house within the Avex Trax label. The recording included remixes by respectable house maker Shinichi Osawa and Toronto-based electro-pop designer I Am Automatic robot and Happy. Also in 2008, De De Mouse installed with those vintage fetishists (and fresh labelmates) YMCK for the Down City EP. The six-track recording — split similarly between your two performers — was composed of addresses of tunes by Japanese pop royalty: De De Mouse required on “Yumi Arai” and YMCK protected “Content End,” while both paid homage to Tatsuro Yamashita. De De Mouse also performed japan nursery rhyme “Metropolitan Bijyutsukan.”
