Brainfeeder is a record label that is run by Flying Lotus. It is manufactured, marketed, and distributed by Ninja Tune outside of the U.S.A.

Since its inception, Brainfeeder has been at the forefront of pushing boundaries in electronic music. With Flying Lotus at the helm, the label has become synonymous with innovation and experimentation.

Brainfeeder's roster boasts an impressive lineup of talented artists who have carved their own unique paths in the industry. From Thundercat's soulful basslines to Kamasi Washington's jazz-infused compositions, each artist brings their own distinct flavor to the label.

Hakushi Hasegawa (They/Them pronouns) is a musician, producer and singer-songwriter based in Tokyo, Japan, and the first Japanese artist signed to the Brainfeeder label. Consistent with Brainfeeder’s ethos of seeking out artists operating outside the confines of genre since the label was founded in 2008 by Flying Lotus, Hakushi’s music is tricky to categorize as it straddles a few genres: alternative, electronic, jazz, pop/J-pop. Sometimes it’s pretty, at times it’s very intense and fast-paced. Releasing since 2018, they’ve already made a name for themselves domestically in Japan with a string of wonderfully wild releases and started to build a cult following internationally. Collabs to date have included Kid Fresino, yuigot, Tokyo Paradise Ska Orchestra, Yukichikasaku/men and Eye from Boredoms.&nbsp;

Somoku Hodo was Hakushi’s debut release in 2018 as a teenager, featuring fan favourites ‘Somoku’ and ‘Doku’ – a hyperspeed junglist jazz workout. Illustration by Momoka Aiso. Design by Takeaki Emori. Features exclusive previously unreleased track ‘Doku (SCREWED)’.
