DIEMAJIN, the duo of Berlin-based producer DJ DIE SOON (Daisuke Imamura) and Tokyo-based vocalist MA, present 陰陽 (Yin and Yang) at Le Guess Who? 2025 as part of Tianzhuo Chen's curation at the festival. Listen to the full performance:
Vocalist MA rants and cackles over DJ DIE SOON’s coarse electronic tones and incessant minimal patterns. The producer’s mutated synths embrace a textural, skeletal rhythmic terrain where beats serve to amplify the scuffed and eerie gait seeping through their music. Like a scream from an old movie becoming distorted through the deterioration of its medium, it's this quality that DIEMAJIN most concretely channel in their music.
