This coming Tuesday September 15, The Toff is hosting a Maximum Arousal Japanese explosion that is Flau label artists Aus , Cokiyu and Cuushe .
Aus is Yasuhiko Fukuzono, who heads the Flau label. He began as a teenager messing around with a keyboard and a tape recorder but is now more in the business of blending electronic melodies into the soundscape that is Tokyo. On top of his already-massive discography of albums, soundtracks, remixes and arrangements Aus' new album Light In August is set to be released later this month.
Cokiyu, who hails from Shikoku island, uses guitars, toy pianos, music boxes and vocals to craft her shoegaze pop. She released her Boomkat album of the week Mirror Flake in '07. Amongst her impressive credentials, including holding a masters degree in musicology, she is Shugo Tokumaru 's toy pianist.
Cuushe, who released her debut album Red Rocket Telepathy in July this year, is all about dream pop melodies of field recordings, samples and electronica.
