THE HIGH END THEORY", which will be released both from Munich and Japan, where German beatmaker "PACKED RICH" lives, is titled "THE LOW END THEORY" by A Tribe Called Quest as "a theory that crosses national boundaries derived over time" and will slowly The song is slowly taking off to the world.
The hip-hop virus that has been scattered from the sky is gradually eroding people's hearts with the word "miai".
The song is a rap version of Yosui Inoue's "Riverside Hotel", and YOU-SEE's solo song "EMOCEAN" incorporates this worldview and the view of adult sex that teenagers cannot reach into its verses, while the underground worldview of the day continues to brighten the day for many jazzy hip-hop-loving connoisseurs. Ame no tokyo (Ame no Tokyo / Rainy Tokyo), which describes the rain in the hearts of over-tired Japanese, Fluid, a piano performance designed to match the length of the song and the concept of the poem, which is always fluid and not bound by fixed ideas, and the song "Soul," a song about the freedom of people tossed around by the Corona riots. The solo ND piece "Around Counter '20" depicts from a familiar perspective the feelings of those tossed around by the Corona riots and their concern for freedom.

This work represents "a work that makes you imagine and look back on that era," and the variety of styles in terms of rap, beats, and graphics will surely provide a pleasant flight for those who listen to it.

Artist Profile

FLOAT JAM
YOUSEE, ND, and DJ PUNCH form a Japanese hip-hop unit built around the classic style of 2MCs and 1DJ. Since the late 1990s, they have developed their sound through regular performances at clubs in and around Tokyo, steadily building a reputation in the underground scene. Their first home-recorded EP, THANK, drew early attention when it was featured on Radio Sakamoto, the radio program hosted by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto. In the early 2000s, they also released an album as members of Zipblock, the crew led by Fourd Nkay. In 2010, the group was recognized in the Better Half Remix Contest, organized by AKLO and L-VOKAL through Amebreak, where they were named among the contest's outstanding artists alongside names such as SKY-HI, EGO, LB, and OTOWA. Their discography continued to expand in 2016 with the back-to-back release of the EPs MONORAL-L and MONORAL-R, followed by the album STEREO. That same year, their work was selected as one of WARP Magazine's editor-recommended 12 releases. In 2019, they appeared on Morpheme Tone, the album by Japanese jazz pianist and beatmaker Kazumi Kaneda, released via the Canadian label Inner Ocean Records. The group has remained active through international collaborations. In 2023, they released the collaborative EP The High End Theory with Germany-based beatmaker Packed Rich. In 2024, they released two tracks with Spanish producer OUTTASHT, contributed to an album by FUKK of Saitama's GMP MCs, and also released a track with Shimane-based producer DJ Fuwa. In 2025, they reunited with OUTTASHT for another release and dropped the album Xenoverse Wonderland, featuring guest appearances by TIMEKILLA of midicronica and production from Packed Rich, Kazumi Kaneda, FANNY, Ingenious DJ Makino, and Rose Gold Rolex. In 2026, they return once again with ABOVE THE CLOUDS, a long-awaited reunion EP with Packed Rich, further extending their cross-border vision of hip-hop.
