WaqWaq KingdomJP
WaqWaq Kingdom is a Japanese tribal bass duo comprising Kiki Hitomi and Shigeru Ishihara (also known as DJ Scotch Egg). Originally from Japan, both spent over a decade in the U.K. and are now based in Leipzig and Berlin.
Their endless range of stylistic adventures sees them drawing lines between traditional Japanese and contemporary electronic, between Jamaican dancehall and 8-bit techno, between African polyrhythms and experimental music, with plenty more helping to colour a powerful, vibrant palette.
Shigeru Ishihara aka DJ Scotch Egg - has been a distinctive alien orbiting the dance music galaxy for over a decade, releasing radiantly unpredictable solo records through the legendary and now defunct experimental label Load Records, and performing as a member of British post-rock band Seefeel. Vocalist & lyricist Kiki Hitomi is formerly a member of King Midas Sound (along with The Bug and Roger Robinson), and co-founded iconic Japanese dubstep-noise duo Dokkebi Q.
