miQue

Electronica / Pop / Soul

Tokyo, Japan

Billboard

miQue is a vocalist/composer with an ear for caffeine fueled experimental electronic pop music. Based in Tokyo Japan, he has been involved with a diverse array of artists and collectives as a vocalist, producer and composer. These have included collaborations & performances with theatre group Sin Titulo, dance ensemble Ju-gong and at the monthly Mode Down, Imagined Communities and Test Tone events.

Taking inspiration from the kitsch to the perverse, miQue infuses his vocals & tightly arranged music with a love of juxtaposing opposites - field recordings, stiletto-esque funk and antique film scores sit cosily alongside scratchy doo wop soul and are filtered through his poptronic soul bukkake.

Armed with ye`old computer, a few microphones, an array of pedals, sampler, keyboard trigger fingers and an aerodynamic voice miQue live is a cabaret of snazzy punkmanship - bringing to mind `a bygone era of song and dance-men gate crashing an electric hoedown`

Vaatican Records (France) have included several miQue tracks on their various label samplers and released his debut E.P in November, 2006.

miQue's full length album "Le Petite Morte" was co-released by Imagined Records &
Scilli Disques (Japan) in April 2007 - distributed by Ultra Vybe
