Kneeking Records presents Modern Renaissance, a roots reggae-inspired work that blends language, world heritage, philosophy, history, and the spirit of reggae into a journey of rebirth through knowledge and human sensitivity.
Words discovered through the pages of a dictionary afterglow, reading, conscience, and history become pathways leading to Yosemite, Ravenna, Lahore, and Ryōan-ji, unfolding a quiet journey across the world.
"Explain too much, and beauty slips away."
Reading is more than gaining knowledge.
It is an act of opening the future and creating new worlds.
A story for a new era where ancient and modern, words and music, spirit and civilization meet.
Kneeking Records is a label that expresses the journey through dictionaries in music. Founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, dictionary traveler, and former world kickboxing champion. Since 2013, he has read, written, and shared words almost every day. In 2025, he began transforming these works into music. The journey continues to grow. The sound spans reggae, j-pop, r&b, soul, house, gospel, funk, ska, and sometimes punk rock. It values the rhythm of language and creates music that feels natural and refined. Each piece is inspired by calligraphy and shaped into sound.
