Gaijin Blues is an electronic duo that fuses Japanese and European sounds in an original and inventive way. Asian folk, jazz, and rock intertwine here with soundtracks from Japanese video games, blending seamlessly with trap, techno, house, and other strands of contemporary club music.
Last year, the artists released their debut EP under the British label Shapes Of Rhythm, followed shortly after by a full-length album – Gaijin Blues II. Their concerts offer a fascinating and creative use of samples and electronic effects, combined with spontaneous, live improvisation.
