Mieko Shimizu releases intense glitchy ‘Phenomena Of The Mind’ video New EP out now on Street Furniture Records
‘Phenomena of the Mind’ is a re-mastered EP of selected tracks from the album of the same name released by Mieko Shimizu in 2006, the year after the London terror attacks. Something dispirited and unexplainable lay heavy in the air of the sprawling city we lived and breathed. In the title song, ‘Phenomena of the Mind’, her intense Japanese rap echoes the deafening noise of the chaotic streets we walk each day. “Visualise”, she said, try to imagine a way to fight your way out of this ominous, dystopian world.
In the track ‘Signal Found’, the theme continues to shattered Dance Hall beats that reverberate to the “twisted sound of broken down London town.” “Have you lost the plot? Are you ok?” she asks?
In the track ‘Black Salt’, a dark melancholic theme floats over fragmented, glitchy beats, compounded by the repetition of “black” which hammers the constant bombardment of racism prescient of the call for freedom that Black Lives Matter. Wonderland Magazine has described Mieko’s music as, “beautiful poetic verses and stunning musical arrangements” and Mark Taylor of Record Collector as “An avant-garde artist pushing boundaries.”
Mieko Shimizu is a London-based Japanese singer, songwriter, composer, and producer. Mieko first erupted onto the UK electronic scene as Apache 61; her searing alters ego. The self-titled album garnered plays by John Peel and she quickly build a name across the London & Berlin underground scenes. Previously she had released 2 albums in her own name, ‘Totem’ & ‘Road of Shells’, then the album ‘Minimal Dance’ as Mekon Zoo, and in 2020 she released her latest album ‘I Bloom’.

Knux Burgandy rejects being average on new release “Mediocre”
Knux Burgandy’s new single, “Mediocre,” sounds more like a personal statement than a song. The Boston producer-artist is all in on pain rap, and the song hits hard and with purpose. It’s based on raw feelings, sharpened by what you’ve been through.
“Mediocre” is a hard-hitting trap record, but what really sets it apart is its heart. Burgandy doesn’t just rap, he also talks about how he feels, thinks, and fights against settling for less. It’s easy to chant the hook, and it stays in your head after just one listen. The message, on the other hand, lasts a lot longer, no matter what happens, don’t settle for an average life.
Knux Burgandy is becoming well-known in a way that seems real and important. His community is increasingly supporting him, and he is clearly dedicated to his work. The word “mediocre” isn’t just a word, it’s a reminder that being average was never the goal.
