Garbage Garden, the experimental project based in Japan, returns with a new single “Quiet Garden”
The son is the opening chapter of the “Still Being” series. It’s an exploration of human existence and the paradox of intimacy, wrapped in a soundscape that balances digital precision with a deep, human touch.
Musically, the track reflects a profound internal struggle. Born from a collaborative process with co-producer , the song shifted from a personal narrative to a universal exploration of “The Noise.” As the artist explains, it is about the “hand that held the spoon” and the “sweat traded for someone else’s clean slate”—devotion that is consumed but never acknowledged.
“Quiet Garden” by Garbage Garden is out now on all streaming platforms.
Tokyo-based producer MasaHY and Nigerian artist Emage_Way have joined forces for “SPARK,” a collaboration built on rhythm, atmosphere, and forward-thinking sound design.
They describe the song as “not mainstream Afropop or Amapiano track, but more on the alternative and atmospheric side”

MasaHY’s genre-fluid production—drawing from R&B, Dancehall Reggae, Jazz Fusion, and Funk—creates a rich sonic landscape that feels both modern and timeless.

The collaboration bridges Tokyo’s forward-thinking beat culture with the global energy of African rhythm, highlighting how contemporary music continues to evolve through cross-cultural exchange and shared creative vision.

With the release of his new single “Transplex-AG-Omega”, Japanese singer, data scientist and IT strategist Akihisa Yorozu is announcing the end of his Transplex era.
Transplex is a music genre he created himself, fusing a unique blend of EDM and science to create a a harmony between structure and emotion, science and art.
“Transplex-AG-Omega” is one of the songs on his Akihisa’s new album TRANSPLEX AG: Algorithm God.
It fuses the technical precision of Complextro with the emotional clarity of trance, achieving what creator AKIHISA Yorozu calls the “Optimal Complexity Zone” where energy, emotion, and cognition reach perfect balance.
“TRANSPLEX was not born by chance,” says the Japanese electronic music artist. “It was engineered through science. Every rhythm and modulation is calculated to maximize engagement, emotion, and memory.
It’s not just music; it’s a neuroscientific experiment in beauty and complexity.”
