POP OOGA

Shuta Hasunuma, who has released music on the Austin-based indie label Western Vinyl and Japan's proud techno/electronica label PROGRESSIVE FOrM, has released his fourth album under his real name, Hasunuma Shuta.

This masterpiece further upgrades the impressive melodies of the Western Vinyl album, hybridizing dynamic pop with meticulous arrangements and featuring his own vocals.

The album effectively combines acoustic and electronic sounds to create a spacious soundscape, encompassing techno, house, electronica, hip hop, and even contemporary music, resulting in a genre-defying, superb groove and dynamic, elegant beat music. While retaining the style of their previous three albums, the album's greatest defining feature is its airy, original rhythmic sound. Experience the incredible talent that subtly connects Scritti Politti, Jay Dee, Ray Harakami, Cornelius, and Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO).
