Daisuke Tanabe / Jealousguy – Wana / Hydra

Original Cultures and Zooo Print & Press are proud to present the first release in the Zoooriginals series of collaborative, limited-edition picture 7″ vinyl releases. The concept is simple: Two musicians, one side each. One visual artist, two sides. All exclusive, never before seen or heard. Limited edition 7″ vinyl run. No digital. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

The music is handled by Daisuke Tanabe and Jealousguy, two unique Japanese producers (from Tokyo and Hokkaido respectively) who will be part of the Kidsuke and Guests tour which Original Cultures is bringing to Europe in November 2012. The artwork is handled by Ericailcane, one of the first visual artist to take part in Original Cultures back in 2009/2010.

Wana by Daisuke Tanabe features solid 808 drums foundations combined with melodies that came to us from our dreams. In Japanese Wana means trap. There is a joke there. Hydra by Jealousguy is the sonic equivalent of the ancient multi-headed monster of Greek mythology. Expect this is its Japanese relative and it likes hip hop. The artwork by Ericailcane features monkeys on one side and a whale on the other drawn in his own unique style.
