Originally garnering recognition as a pioneer of Japanese juke and footwork, Dokutsu sees Foodman exploring low-slung house terrain, with undertones of upbeat ambient.

The new Highball imprint will focus on progressive music from across Japan, with BRISA and Shigge’s live performance project, Ohnesty, at the helm for its second release.

Dokutsu follows Foodman’s 2019 ODOODO EP on Mad Decent, as well as his Moriyama EP on Palto Flats in 2018.
