Kohei Matsunaga aka NHK yx Koyxen follows up an impressive slew of releases for labels such as DFA and L.I.E.S. Records with a new full-length album for Hypercolour. ‘Climb Downhill 1’ is a dazzling collection of trippy post rave electro and wonky techno, pushing the sonics to breaking point in a contemporary stye.

Matsunga has previously deployed his brand of psychedelic bleeps and beats on albums for the likes of DFA Records (the legendary electronic label founded by James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem, Tim Goldsworthy, and Jonathan Galkin) as well as on London-based imprint Diagonal, run by Powell & Jamie Williams, and for Bruk Records.
