about

AXは80年代からインダストリアル・アーティストというスタイルを貫いていたが、なぜか2003年頃からしばらく日本のヒップホップシーンに傾倒し・関わっていく事となる。

当時の日本の地下ヒップホップシーンはいわゆる「アブストラクト」という曖昧な表現が使われ、不良上がりのラッパーやインテリジェンスな詩人。ノイズアーティストや前衛的なビートメイカー、彼らを繋ぎ〜ジャンルの壁を打ち崩すハイレヴェルなDJ達がひしめき合っていた。
当時を振り返るととてもスリリングで何もかもが入り混じった、混沌とした闇鍋の様相を呈していたと思う。

このEPは当時、AXが傾倒していた当時のヒップホップのビートメイカー的解釈から制作した、一連の楽曲群からリリースされたものだ。

１曲目のヴェトナム難民ラッパー、MCクリーム・クンベルとのセッションは神戸のクラブ・イベント「軸」（ヒップホップとノイズを混在させようという趣旨でノイズDJ_(underline)が開催）にて、LIVE中に突然クンベルが乱入してきたいわゆるマイクジャックもので完全一発録り。
２曲目以降も、ビートに重点を置いた楽曲が続く。
また同時期、彼は60年代サイケデリクスにも傾倒しておりその影響を受けた楽曲も垣間見られる。
基本は単調なLOOPいくつか制作し即興で組み替えるというスタイルで、一晩で約10曲制作しそれを一週間続け70〜80曲を完成させた。

AX has been an industrial artist since the 1980s, but for some reason he has been devoted to and involved in the Japanese hip-hop scene for a while since around 2003.

The Japanese underground hip-hop scene at that time used the vague expression of so-called "abstract", and was a bad rapper and an intelligent poet. Noise artists, avant-garde beat makers, and high-level DJs who connect them and break down the genre barrier were crowded together.
Looking back on those days, I think it looked like a chaotic "yaminabe", very thrilling and mixed with everything.

This EP was released from a series of songs produced from the beat maker-like interpretation of hip-hop at the time when AX was devoted to it.

The first song, a session with Vietnamese refugee rapper MC Cream Cungbell, was suddenly held during LIVE at the club event "軸-Jiku-" in Kobe (noise DJ_ (underline) was held to mix hip-hop and noise). It is a complete one-shot recording with the so-called microphone jack that Cungbell has invaded.
From the second song onward, songs with an emphasis on beats continue.
At the same time, he was also devoted to the psychedelics of the 1960s, and there is a glimpse of the songs that were influenced by it.
He basically produced some monotonous LOOPs and improvised them, producing about 10 songs overnight and continuing them for a week to complete 70-80 songs.
