HANJŌ

ElectronicaDrum and BassJungle
Written By AB

Making music with a small footprint. The soundscapes are driven by a philosophy. The scarcity of space in Tokyo (where the artist is currently based) sparkled, in 2020, the birth of HANJŌ, the name given to David Minton’s electronic music explorations. The project, aptly named after a Japanese term meaning “a half tatami mat.”, embraces minimalism and resourcefulness, resulting in a distinct sonic identity to resonate with his listeners.

”This is my late entry for the @petitevictorycollective8908 October challenge, with the theme of making a spooky/horrific/scary jam. Thanks to Captain Ghostnote for running this!” - HANJO
