Their songs are buzzing for how exciting they make you feel when you listen.
Recommended if you like artists such as SIRUP, iri, LUCKY TAPES, Fujii Kaze, or Megashin-nosuke.
Better known as “Lakkiri,” Lucky Kilimanjaro have long valued a composition style that leans more toward dance music than any other band, incorporating the tones of modern house music.
This release also rides on a fast four-on-the-floor beat—if we had to give the genre a name, perhaps “Modern Early House” would fit.
