'Kaleidoscope' is a work deeply inspired by the LA beat scene, showcasing the further refinement of Daiki Kagata's unique style. It features a fusion of psychedelic elements, J Dilla-like off-kilter grooves, and richly textured synthesizer tones, all wrapped in a cold and unsettling mood. The album also exhibits an intelligent and delicate craftsmanship, with serpentine basslines weaving through the spaces in the beats, and synthesizer tones panning dynamically to stir both the mind and body of the listener.
A subtle touch of funkiness lends a distinctive rhythm and groove to the entire project. The title "Kaleidoscope" symbolizes a mesmerizing, ever-changing transformation, inviting listeners into a vividly crafted sonic world. To elevate the sound quality to perfection, Daiki collaborated with long-time ally Yuke Myras (from Cosmicbath) for mastering.
Based in Kobe and primarily active in the Kansai region, Daiki Kagata brings a fresh perspective to the beat scene with his unique style. His previous album, "ERROR," released in 2022, garnered high praise from critics and fans alike. Influenced by LA beat scene artists like Flying Lotus and Teebs, this inspiration is vividly reflected in his music. Daiki Kagata's sound is characterized by J Dilla-like off-kilter grooves, psychedelic soundscapes, and lush synthesizer tones. Renowned for creating immersive and multidimensional sounds, he continues to push the boundaries of his craft. Performing at "Scenario," the post-Low End Theory event helmed by Daddy Kev and Fumitake Tamura, further cemented his reputation. Kagata's pursuit of genre-defying soundscapes results in a uniquely intelligent and captivating musical world.
