QUE GI (feat. Otomo Yoshihide)

After declaring the end of their first phase of activities in the summer of 2023 and leaving fans eagerly awaiting their next move, Dos Monos finally announces the beginning of their second phase with the release of their latest track, "QUE GI". For this track, Dos Monos invited Otomo Yoshihide, a maestro who has continued to influence the Japanese music scene profoundly through his work in free jazz and noise music fields since the 1990s, and who also won the Composition Award at the 55th Japan Record Awards for his music in the serial TV drama "Ama-chan".

This track, featuring Otomo Yoshihide as a guest turntablist, marks a departure from Dos Monos' previous hip-hop direction, embracing a rap-rock taste in line with Zo Zhit's declaration of transitioning from a Hip-Hop crew to a Rock band. The song's depth is further enhanced by live performances from drummer Kazuya Ooi, known for his work with yahyel, DATS, DAOKO, THE SPELLBOUND, Aina The End, iri, and Junya Ichikawa, the bassist from D.A.N. The mix engineer is The Anticipation Illicit Tsuboi, continuing the collaboration with Dos Monos. The jacket design is by the contemporary artist GILLOCHINDOX GILLOCHINDAE, who draws inspiration from manga and movies' subcultures to explore themes of "urban and youth" in his work, creating a piece inspired by the title.

This release marks the first audio release from Dos Monos' second-phase new album "Dos Atomos," which has gradually revealed its aspects through collaborations, such as the manga "Dai Dark" by Kyu Hayashida, the original teaser video for the movie "HOW TO BLOW UP," and the recently announced teaser video for the "Super RIZIN.3" match between Mikuru Asakura and Ren Hiramoto.
