Jikooha

JIKOOHA....the wave of time and space in Japanese
Tokyo-based trance outfit JIKOOHA comprises two Japanese, Jun and Shimodi, who played in a punk and new wave influenced alternative rock band in early 1990s. In 1996, we found the sound of Goa Trance that led us to form Jikooha in 1997 and started to produce our own trance tracks. While remained committed to our unique mixture of dance and punk, Jikooha's eclectic and unique sound shows our love of all music. We are experimental, sometimes excessively so, in taking in different sounds and styles from myriad of "genre" in our production; the process we believe is our search for spiritual journey.
JIKOOHA has been playing at parties nationwide from 1999 and has released several tracks. Our first full-album "JIKOOHA/NEW BREED" was released in 2003 on Tod Aquarium Records.
Our new album called "SHAMANARCHY" is released on Panorama Records in 2006 and second album. The title "SHAMANARCHY" combines elements of the two main influences of JIKOOHA, Goa spiritualism and the anarchic tendencies of punk. JIKOOHA's sound combines the essences of both Goa and rock for live shows with blistering electronics and real guitars. Definitely a must hear.
