2019 Suddenly the world is in turmoil, aka "covid-19".
Dominik, a graphic designer living in Germany, sends me an email and says: "Why don't you play a song with my friend and beat maker PACKED RICH, who works in Germany? I'm sure you can do something good.
I immediately agreed and said, "Why don't you try to make a song with a beat you found on your computer? The first song that came out of the email was "MA AI". This song was born at a time when various media were urging people to "keep distance" in relation to their contact with each other, and it is based on the word "infection" and the importance of "keeping distance so as not to be infected by everything that is popular (music), and the importance of living without useless crowds". The song is based on the word "infection" and is sublimated into the theme of "the importance of keeping in touch with the latest fads (music) so as not to be infected by them, and the importance of living in harmony with our own style, which is connected to our identity, and slowly becoming infected by the addictive nature of the music created by FLOAT JAM and PACKED RICH".

Artist Profile

FLOAT JAM
A 2MC & 1DJ hip-hop unit consisting of YOUSEE, ND and DJ PUNCH. Since the late 90's, they regularly held parties at Shibuya Family, Shinjuku IZM, and other clubs in the Tokyo suburbs, and their first EP "THANK", recorded at home, was picked up by "Radio Sakamoto", which was run by Ryuichi Sakamoto. In the early 2000s, he was a member of "ZIPBLOCK", a crew led by FOURD NKAY, and released the album "The Junk City Renaissance". In 2010, he was one of the winners of the "Better Half" remix contest hosted by AKLO & L-Vokal at Amebreak, along with SKY-HI, EGO, LB and OTOWA. In 2016, he released two FREE DL EPs, "MONORAL-L" and "MONORAL-R", as well as his first original album "STEREO". In the same year, the album was selected as one of the "12 Editor's Recommendations" in WARP Magazine. In 2019 he participated in the album "Morpheme Tone" of the Japanese jazz pianist and beat maker KAZUMI KANEDA, released on the Canadian label INNER OCEAN RECORDS. In addition to his own activities, he has been active in a wide range of fields, participating in other artists' works and providing music. In 2023, he will release "The High End Theory", a collaborative EP with German beatmaker PACKED RICH, which he has been preparing behind the scenes since the beginning of the Corona disaster. Throughout his long career, he has absorbed hip-hop from all eras and continues to express his own unique brand of hip-hop that, in his own words, is jazzy yet progressive.
