This project wouldn’t have started without the incredible support from my dear artists, and the engineers, distributors, and my supportive hometown — massive thanks 💞
Nagoya has quietly been building an underground electronic music scene, and it’s finally being documented.
Released via @wisdomteethuk , a new compilation ‘nagoyaka na kaze’ / ‘和やかな風’ offers a window into this scene. Spanning sounds that could, if you really needed to, be given names like new-age ambient, psychedelic minimalism, cosmic low-end and xylophone euphoria, but sounding far fresher and more alchemised than any of those descriptors can reasonably convey. The Nagoya sound is anything but predictable.
In our new feature, co-curator @abentis traces its roots – from baptisma’s foundational venues to LA’s beat scene and Nagoya’s own weird hip-hop hub.

Bandcamp Daily Scene Reportシリーズにて、名古屋の電子音楽シーンについて紹介していただきました。
LP"和やかな風"の話題を出発点に、abentis、Methodd、Am Shharaへのインタビュー内容を軸に構成されているのであくまで多様なシーンの一端を捉えた内容ではありますが、
限られた枠内でより沢山のアーティスト・活動・べニュー・リリースの事に触れ、注意深く背景を調査して、多面的に捉えて魅力が伝わるように素敵な文章を完成させてくれたJamesにとても感謝しています。
そしてもちろん、JB'sやGOODWEATHERをキュートに書いてくれたChauさんにも感謝しています。
是非ともbandcampのweb上でご覧ください。

In the Bandcamp Daily “Scene Report” series, the Nagoya electronic music scene has been featured.
The article is centered around the LP “nagoyaka na kaze / 和やかな風”, and uses interviews with abentis, Methodd, and Am Shhara as its core thread.
While it focuses on a specific entry point into the scene, James also made a strong effort to highlight a broader range of artists, activities, venues, and releases within that framework.
Within a limited format, he carefully researched the background and succeeded in presenting the scene from multiple perspectives in a beautifully written piece.
I’m very grateful to him for that, and of course, many thanks to Chau for the cute illustrations of JB’s and GOODWEATHER as well.
Please check it out on the Bandcamp website.

Nagoyaka Na Kaze listening party ໒꒱ ݁ ˖ 𓂃
Moments from the listening party for the LP created together with our friends around Nagoya and @wisdomteethuk ,
held as a special edition of Cyberpool — the bi-monthly party co-hosted by @karnagejp and @abentis
The event was held at @club_jbs in Nagoya — the same venue where we first connected at the 10 Years of Wisdom Teeth party, which eventually led to the creation of this LP.
The LP Nagoyaka Na Kaze / 和やかな風 (Quiet Wind) is now available in Japan and internationally.
Please grab a copy at your favorite local record store ❤️
