A unique producer with a unique style, Goth-Trad has emerged from the Japanese electronic scene in the last decade as one of the most arresting artists from his generation. ‘The Sound Originator,’ Goth-Trad creates remarkable dance music with an abstract approach.
Goth-Trad’s music career started in 1998. He soon formed Rebel Familia in 2001 with Takeshi ‘Heavy’ Akimoto (ex-member of Dry & Heavy) while continuing to work on his own. From abstract electronica to noise, from dub and reggae to jungle and rave music, grime to dubstep, Goth-Trad has always experimented and in the process developed his own unique style: blending influences and delivering music that is constantly evolving.
Between 2001 and 2004 Goth-Trad grew his notoriety on the Tokyo underground and went on his first European tour. He also released his first album, Goth-Trad I, and opened for The Mars Volta during their 2004 Japanese tour. His second album was released in January 2005, titled The Inverted Perspective it focused on the improvisational live style he had been developing in previous years and which he would continue to refine to this day. In March he played in Korea and in the summer established a new style called Mad Rave. ‘Mad Rave’ is Goth-Trad’s own take on dance music, refined and musically distilled through years of work.
This led to his third album, Mad Raver’s Dance Floor released in November 2005. Over 10 tracks the album condenses more than 10 years of dance music into an amalgamation of styles which flows seamlessly. The release tour for the album travelled to Berlin, Paris, Metz, London and 8 Japanese cities.
Tsuruoka Ryu (Luvraw) is mello's synth singer (talk boxer). A music artist who sticks to the mood originating in Yokohama. A living pleasure raid back researcher and a DJ.
Recently, he had an album come out. It's called Shoko Mutsuki. The album reflects a locked room and the blurry sounds of the night scape of Yokohama. This collection of transient yet rich music shows the listeners the hidden charm of the sound of the Talkbox. It’s nothing less than a love-potion. A limited edition self-recorded release.
Postscript of this album:
『無意味と知りつつもこだわる大きな意味』
“The big meaning to be picky, knowing it’s meaningless” by Ryu Tsuruoka (LUVRAW)
The acoustics of the Japanese language, the bluesy yet gloss electronic vocals, the attempt to recreate the melodies of mirages.
Those are what he used and expressed in this album.
He focused to bring the essence of the invisible and unhearable into this album.
The atmosphere of the city, a suggestive breeze around sunset, the urging red lights of the sky scrapers, and a drowsy morning glow were some of my inspirations.
There is no theme for this album.
But it is full of will-power and belief.
Rare vintage musical equipment, junk effectors, state of the art equipment, live sounds, and countless plugins were all put together together for this album.
No sampling, and obsessive programing and recording is also part of the equation.
Taking no complaints, he kept on experimenting as ideas came out of my mind.
It was a seemingly endless repetition of trial and error.
He has broken down with the realization of my powerlessness several times, and regretted my lack of knowledge.
There’s a contradictory balance between my extreme pickiness and my corner-cutting.
But in that incoherency, he surely captured a strange, yet rich pleasure.
It felt like a long long spiritual journey.
As a result, he has no idea what he has created, but he really feel refreshed.
Many things happened over the years, but he finally feel he was able to start making my music in the true sense.
He think he can be more honest to people from now on. In short, “His third self drew a Shunga (an erotic ukiyo-e)”.

Seiho (born in 1987) is a Japanese musician from Osaka.
Between 2000-2004, since he thought that he wanted to make electronic music, he composed music with a ringing melody of a cell phone and started posting to the Internet, spend his days making tracks with ACID and uploading it on the Internet.
In 2013, the album "abstract sex" was released. In addition, he toured the United States and served as an undercard of disclosure, and was recited as "making some of the most exciting music in recent years in Japan" in Pitfolk Media of the same year.
Seiho’s frantic approach to creating music has earned him plenty of attention. He’s played some of Japan’s biggest venues and festivals, including the celebrated Fuji Rock Festival, and also had shows across the United States and Europe. Yet despite a rising profile, Seiho has stayed as restless as ever, exploring new sounds and ways to incorporate them into his music. He’s always chasing down a new idea, to create something uniquely Seiho.
There is no schedule or ticket right now.
