The latest album, FRAGMENTS by JUZU a.k.a. MOOCHY, also known as J.A.K.A.M., which was hailed as a "masterpiece"
by esteemed hip-hop writer and critic Hiroshi Egaitsu in a special program aired on DOMMUNE this January,
is finally getting a highly anticipated vinyl release!

In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began, the dense jungle sounds recorded in Kerala state, India, were later intertwined with recordings of traditional instruments from Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar—chaotic lands in Pakistan, where even in 2023, suicide bombings still occur. These elements were then meticulously collaged with electronics to create a futuristic Asian soundscape, where Arabic and African influences mysteriously blend, forming a one-of-a-kind sonic experience. Despite being rooted in the asphalt of modern life, the music evokes an unmistakable connection to the earth’s primal essence. 

While firmly embodying the aesthetics of modern dance and club music, the resounding echoes of traditional instruments—gradually fading from the contemporary world—transport listeners to a place beyond the here and now, into the depths of lost memories. 

Crafted under the theme of Modern Traditional, this groundbreaking work serves as a new milestone in world and psychedelic music. With an uncompromising focus on sound quality and a double-vinyl format, this masterpiece offers deep listeners and DJs alike the chance to immerse themselves in its dynamic yet intricate sonic vortex.
