Waki

Waki is a minimal electronic musician and producer from Tokyo. He was born in 1967, started making 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 chill music as well as venture into different genres such as the girlie pop duo "Gummy".

Taking a natural approach to music, Waki uses analogue gear exclusively. 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 runs the no-charge electronic music event "Berlin Café" — every second Saturday night at Hatsutobara in Shibuya, Tokyo.
