Have you ever thought to yourself, “I’d like to listen to some quality new music and I wouldn’t even mind paying for it?” If you hold such retro thoughts let me direct you to this Kickstarter campaign, only a few days in:
The project is for Tokyo-based producer Yusuke Hama, aka Hamacide, who is preparing his first release in 8 years. Here’s the pitch:
This album and the accompanying videos have been a long time coming. I am putting my heart and soul into making this project and making it my #1 priority. This is a giant step for me in focusing more on making my own music and video content and paving the way to be able to make a living doing creative work… I am currently putting the finishing touches on my first Hamacide release in 8 years. I will also produce 2 music videos to accompany the album. I have been shooting some video already, but I need your help to fully complete this project and bring it to fruition.
Before relocating to Tokyo, Hamacide was a constant presence on the Shanghai underground scene, lending his talents to a number of projects including the demonic, dirtied up trap (before trap was TRAP) duo S L V, and a collaboration with multi-talented Shanghai vocalist ChaCha.
ChaCha also features on the forthcoming Hamacide EP, as does one-time Shanghai resident CrunchyBird, so there’s the China connection for you. Rewards start with a free digital download for about 9USD, and move up to packages that include DIY goodies like stickers, pins, and liner note shoutouts.
