As a one and only unique band from the Tokyo Club Scene, i-dep front man Sinsuke Fujieda (sax) and renowned DJ/Creator Kaoru Inoue a.k.a. chari chari, formed a new unit "Fusik". Taking their initials "S" "F" and "I" "K" and crossing them with the word "music", they came up with F-U-S-I-K, to represent the fusing of two completely different talents and careers, and colliding them into a genre-less new creation. All sounds of "Fusik" were born at the height of Sinsuke and Kaoru's synchronized vibrations, arranging Kaoru's House, Jazz, Latin, Dub and Bossa Nova tracks to compliment Sinsuke's sensual and passionate sax improvisation. Their melange is truly unique - their sound utterly hip and modern, but still keeping everything real and organic - representing Tokyo at it's best.
Currently, Fusik performs live all over Japan with numerous distinguished musicians who understand and share their vision. Collaborating musicians include:Shigeru Tanabu (guitar - Beat Pharmacy), Shinichi Sakurai (percussion - MI-NE), Kenkou (percussion - MI-NE, Pepe California), Masaki Nagata (drums - K.P.M) Tomonori Kusunoki (bass - Majestick Circus), and Solea (didgeridoo - Floatribe Live Session).
On August 29th, 2007, from Rainbow Entertainment / AZtribe, their mini debut album "Sunset Dance" which contains 9 tracks was released. Much is anticipated for their future production.
