Premiere: Yokubari - Drumurdrum [CHINABOT] by Ma3azef published on 2022-05-03T08:03:55Z Taken from Yokubari (@soft-circle) new EP Sakai, out May 4, 2022, via CHINABOT (@chinabot) Read: https://bit.ly/3s3X2yk Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3LGTPfR YOKUBARI is Hisham Akira Bharoocha, an american percussionist, composer, and visual artist based in New York City, which focuses on electronics, drum and sampled sounds. Yokubari, which means “greedy” in Japanese, reflects Bharoocha’s love for every genre of music; a greediness for wanting to incorporate disparate sounds into a song structure or DJ set. With YOKUBARI, Bharoocha aims to create music that entwines the multi-faceted cultures we all come from, to expound upon the interconnectivity of the language of sound, and to embrace the rhythms we experience in daily life as a resplendent yet chaotic balancing act. His debut EP on Chinabot will be released on the 4th of May 2022. The title of this EP is ‘Sakai’ which means “border” in Japanese. On this EP, Bharoocha attempts to express the push and pull one feels when they are born from multiple cultures, trying to be accepted by those distinct cultures, yet trying to show self acceptance from being forever different, forever on the cusp. Perhaps best-known for his role as the drummer and founding member of experimental rock band Black Dice, his precise and complex sense of rhythm drives Sakai through a kaleidoscope of textures. Touching on techno, ambient and experimental noise, Sakai remains sonically true to Bharoocha’s own unique cultural background.
