De De Mouse

major - (2005 - )

Referencing its fair share of nostalgia, De De Mouse's electronica uses cosmic, sunset imagery to dial up the memories of childhood. An androgynous computer-generated voice rises up in make-believe praise while the rhythm section hammers out a measured march.

Daisuke Endo, the brains behind this rodent-inspired project, plays out super-chic melodic arrangements live on the keys, and his positively charged electric chants and iridescent orchestrations have succeeded in launching De De Mouse into the Japanese firmament in the space of just a few light years.
