Music
With KEIZOmachine! And Juicy
Visual accompaniment VJ GEC & Go Matsumoto
Without ever using pre-recorded sequences, KEIZOmachine! and Juicy recreate their rhythms in real time, by hitting the buttons on their samples and never losing sight of the groove. Also experts in real percussion and vinyl, they sprinkle their hip hop with incongruous scratches and copies, perfectly synchronized with the carton films projected during their sets. Hifana: hip beats and break beat sections combine to form a flamboyant paroxysm.
KEIZOmachine! first caressed discs before deciding to study percussion. Juicy came late to hip hop culture, having made the journey in reverse. Together they formed Tribal Circus, a group of percussionists that accompany belly dancing and skating demonstrations, followed by Hifana, where they are only bounded by their own imagination. Their latest CD/DVD Channel H was conceived as an imaginary television program: from it, the Wamono clip was awarded a prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival in 2005.
