[New Release]Shifty EP and Donation Project(English ver)

Hi guys this is Pakin.

We release new EP... but before talk about it, I wanna talk about Bar Shifty.

Bar Shifty, since 2000.
Its very small under ground space in Namikibashi, Shibuya.
Yes very small, floor becomes full when 40 ppl come here.
Full of cigarettes and incense smoke, old sound system and mirror ball.
You can't use USB here, yeah only CD and vinyl.
You get me?

We keep running our club event GUM here last 12 years.
Many other venue appeared in this city with new things like modern sound system or great interior design, cutting edge lightning system, non smoking floor, streaming channel brah brah but these kind of things are nothing in the shifty. They doesn't change anything.
Only smoke drink and music with many underground artists.
That's why we love it.

They will finish running the venue end of this april.
Before this corona crisis they already decide it. But, in this April, most of event has been canceled because of it.
I planed to held the last GUM in Shifty end of april with some big artist like Goth trad, one of the originator of japanese dub step and Catarrh nisin he is also pioneer of japanese grime.
But sadly, we have to cancel it.
It's hard to explain about this pain and nothingness feeling.
I know everything has alfa and omega but yeah I never imagine this kind of ending.

And there are noting monetize support for club and live house from jp government, so many of the venue becomes fall into difficulty and stop running nowadays.
I think it's time for we support them so I decide to donate all of the bandcamp sales for Shifty until end of the may.

In clique, we spit about the life time difficulty and the importance of our unity... and all of the synth sound(bass, wistle etc) is played by wind synthesizer. Player is Nookie. He is one of the big artists in Bar Shifty. We often joined same gig.

In Shifty, we spit about the memories and respect for our venue Shibuya Shfity. This tune is produced by Boss Mischief from UK. You would better to check the bandcamp. So emosh sounds... great.

I wish you enjoy these two tunes and donate it. And also please, please support your friend too.

Its hard time for us... but I wish we meet again in somewhere, before long.

Thank you for reading!!
