Tokyo-based trance outfit JIKOOHA comprises two Japanese, Jun and Shimodi, who played in a punk and new wave influenced alternative rock band in early 1990s. In 1996, we found the sound of Goa Trance that led us to form Jikooha in 1997 and started to produce our own trance tracks. While remained committed to our unique mixture of dance and punk, Jikooha's eclectic and unique sound shows our love of all music. We are experimental, sometimes excessively so, in taking in different sounds and styles from myriad of "genre" in our production; the process we believe is our search for spiritual journey.
JIKOOHA has been playing at parties nationwide from 1999 and has released several tracks. Our first full-album "JIKOOHA/NEW BREED" was released in 2003 on Tod Aquarium Records.
The 2nd album called "SHAMANARCHY" was released on Panorama Records in 2006 and second album. The title "SHAMANARCHY" combines elements of the two main influences of JIKOOHA, Goa spiritualism and the anarchic tendencies of punk. JIKOOHA's sound combines the essences of both Goa and rock for live shows with blistering electronics and real guitars. Definitely a must hear.

JIKOOHA (Panorama Records)
90年代初頭からpunk、new waveに影響を受けたalternative rock bandで活動していたJunとShimodiは、96年にEquinox、Tokyo Tekno Tribe等のパーティでGoa Tranceと出会い衝撃を受ける。そしてそれまでのバンド活動に区切りを付け、自分達のトラックを作りトランスユニットを始めることを決意。97年、ホゼ・アグエイアス著「時空のサーファー」("Surfers of the Zuvuya" by José Argüelles)にインスパイアされ、ユニット名を"JIKOOHA - 時空波"と名付け、結成。
2000年、"Seedman e.p."の国内リリースに続き、01年には"Explorations 2 - The Travel Bug (Return To The Source)"にトラックを提供し参加。その後2枚のTod Aquarium RecordsのコンピレーションCDに参加後、03年1st アルバム "NEW BREED"を同レーベルよりリリース。06年1月、初の海外ライブとなるオーストラリアのビッグパーティExodusに出演。その勢いを持って同年5月、2ndアルバム "SHAMANARCHY"をPanorama Recordsよりリリース。同年10月には渚音楽祭に出演。
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
We are very excited to announce that our 2nd album is finally ready!
"Expander" will be released tomorrow, september 24th @ Dacru Records.
It's a remix special with remixes to and by Protoculture, Silicon Sound, Talamasca, DNA, Chronos, Lamat, Electro Sun and more...
