The Japanese 2 piece house unit, “Boys Get Hurt” have just dropped some juicy demos on my desk which I’d like to share with you all.
The two members, Yuki Abe and Mince (Takumi Kawahori), have both previously done stints on the Tokyo discopunk/electrorock circuit with their bands Africaemo and the Frap Frap Fraps respectively. The result is a triple distilled dosage of disco-house with the French House influence evident for everyone to see.
Having only been together for 6 months, the music is still not polished but these are great early demos. They can also be caught tearing up the dance floor all over town with their DJ performances and a slot at Tokyo Indie certainly beckons. Be sure to check out the night they host at Womb – there should be another one coming up soon!
