Fun and unpredictable belters between traditional Japanese elements and contemporary electronics
WaqWaq Kingdom create a vibrant and unpredictable sonic world, blending traditional Japanese elements with contemporary electronics. Their music draws connections between Jamaican dancehall, 8-bit techno, African polyrhythms and experimental sound, forming a bold and colourful hybrid. WaqWaq Kingdom is the collaboration of Shigeru Ishihara (DJ Scotch Egg), known for his distinctive and boundary-pushing electronic work, and vocalist Kiki Hitomi (ex King Midas Sound, Dokkebi Q), whose voice, lyrics and visual art define the project’s unique identity.
