Takkak Takkak + Simo Cell
Takkak Takkak is a new duo project by producer Shigeru Ishihara and the multi-instrumentalist J. Mo’ong Santoso Pribadi. Each artist is known and loved for their solo, idiosyncratic productions. Together they fuse their joyous and challenging sound worlds through a strong mutual interest in each other’s artistic expression. The name Takkak Takkak is a nod to onomatopoeias in drum cultures and vocal percussion found throughout Asian cultures. It echoes the artists’ love of polyrhythms and explosive trance-inducing dance musics, which they slather with unabashed doses of low-end beats, screaming vocals, and wild energy – with a good joke brewing underneath.
Simo Cell is one of those artists who defy categorization. A true genre explorer, he reshapes the boundaries of club music with insatiable curiosity and a unique talent for bridging sonic territories and eras.
Layne is a Berlin-based sound artist and DJ known for her shadowy, atmospheric soundscapes and hypnotic productions. A synthesis enthusiast with years of experience assisting Suzanne Ciani, she creates textured, avant-garde music that has featured on Karl O'Connor’s Downwards Records.
