No Digital Release for LoveWins Part 2

Dear friends of Minikon, LoveWins Part 2 will be available in late June only on CD. It will not be available as a digital download and there will be no online streaming. I am truly proud of LoveWins 1 & 2 and I want to give them the release I feel they deserve. Thank you for supporting Minikon!

Minikonファンの皆様、LoveWins Part 2は6月末にCDのみによりリリースされます。デジタルデータのダウンロードやオンラインストリーミングによる提供は行われません。私はLoveWins 1 & 2が真に誇りうるものと考えており、それに値すると確信できるリリースをお届けしたいと考えています。Minikonに対するご支援に感謝いたします!

Is that a Japanese Discotec in Your Ear?

Dance Contest Winner: ‘Good Luck Happy Dragon’ is now available to pre-order at East Gate Sound and it’s incredible…

Good Luck Happy Dragon’ is the steamy, Japanese disco debut release from ‘Dance Contest Winner’, aka Aaron Sedelmeyer, former owner of Kira Kira Disc. The label, which first brought the sounds of Minikon to the US and Japan, was also home to Sedelmeyer’s first release under the moniker ‘Electronic Barnacle Island’. Far from the murky, melancholic sounds of ‘EBI’, this sizzling collection of synthetic pop gems is filled with happiness, hope and the stuff that makes your head move to the 4/4. Heavily influenced by Yellow Magic Orchestra and other early synth disco, ‘Good Luck Happy Dragon’ calls back to a time when melody was king and joy was found in the grooves of vinyl.

Order now and get karate chopped in the face with the opening track ‘Sixty Cut Fox’, streamable and yours to download after purchase.
