Waki
Real Name:
Wakisaka Akifumi
Profile:
Waki is a minimal electronic musician and producer from Tokyo. He was born in 1967, started making electronic music at the age of 15, and studied Music Aesthetics at Kyoto University. In 1995, Waki founded his own label "Loveburger" to release his own music as well as venture into different genres such as the girlie pop duo "Gummy".
Taking a natural approach to music, Waki had been using analogue gear exclusively, but now he uses PC to make music as well. As his full name "Wakisaka" suggests, his music takes many "side slopes" that invite people to rejoice in solemn laziness. More recently, he has also become interested in the "Yotsu-uchi" style, i.e. 4/4 beats such as techno, house, etc.
Waki lives in Kyoto at the moment and is running a label "Easy + Nice" there.
