A surprise package here and a debut on Tip for the enigmatic Tokojoros. A musical melting pot of an EP that crosses urban genres such as break beat, drum & bass, dub step & techno with Psy Trance elements, spanish strings and even some Hawaiian slide guitar. Expirimental, brave, genre crossing and strangely catchy and addictive. Then 2 really excellent remixes by the man of the moment and of many moments over the last 25 years, Eat Static and an awesome remix by Shiva Tree & Sub 6. What a package! Enjoy! A note from Raja Ram: "Some things are an acquired taste like fois gras...truffles.....oysters.....lolly pops...snails.....halva..humous...and all sorts of delicate new surprise...well this is different..and wonderful.....and moves the clock forward..and the brain to change gear....but this is super advanced music for adults......try something new....pour it in your ears.....and relax into the void.......great stuff"

The original founders of Tokujoros were J. Elf and T.Occonan (a.k.a Giant), two social misfits who shared a great enthusiasm for anything to do with Electronic music. They stuck up some gear in Elf's grandfather's garage, where they made their first effort to materialize their musical ideas and achieve a unique sound. The result was the album "Caterpillar 1", which they released independently at the end of 2005. The album was not followed up by live performances of any kind because Elf, haunted by acute Agoraphobia, refused to go on stage. After a while, Giant decided to go back to the University to study computer science. Elf stayed in the garage, making music, ignoring the frightening world outside. In 2007 The Israeli producer Golan Aharony from the Electro-Trance duo Sub6 came across the album "Caterpillar 1". Golan was inspired by the sound of Tokujoros and contacted Elf, asking permission to remix Tokujoros's track "Showshank", but the remix never happened. Instead, they started to bounce musical ideas between them via the net. Golan was intrigued by the idea of taking Elf's electronic sound "out of the garage" and adding an Indie-commercial sense to it. It wasn't too long before Elf and Golan started working on Tokujoros's 2nd album together. Supported by brother Ohad Aharony (Mixing engineer) and Patrick 'PTX' Chen, the guys completed the album "Electric Armadillo", which was picked up by HOMmega Records and released late 2012. This time, the guys decided to take it a step further and Tokujoros will go on tour with Patrick Chen taking Elf's place as a performer and Dan Keinan as a lightning programmer.
