Kwai Raku PV

Kwai Raku / ODD / Kwai Raku ep (V-Records) 2007 pv by chuuu

ODD is not odd!!

ODD( V-Record / Berlin )

The unit “ODD” (pronounced “OH DE: DE:”) is a very witty japan-sytle technocratic retroclash project by Daisuke PAK based in Berlin.

Kind of odd, eh? Is often the first comment, when somebody hears the music of ODD [oh de: de:].
This is hardly sursprising because Daisuke Pak is producing elaborated odd electronic dance music for more than ten years.

In 1995, he bought his first sampler and formed with his high school friends an improvising performance band named Oil Fish. However, their performances were a little bit too extreme for the people of his hometown - Hiroshima and it consequently became more and more difficult to play there.

So he moved to Himeji in 1997, and there he started his new career as ODD. After two years of his activities as ODD in Japan, he has moved to Europe, playing live gigs in Paris.
In 2001, Daisuke PAK has finally transferred his base of musical activities to Berlin in 2002, and since then he has played in Berlin clubs at Maria, Toresor, Café Moskau, Bastard.
He also made a lot of live performances in Germany, France, Austria, Holland, Sweden, Denmark,Czech, Poland and Japan.

In 2004, ODD joined Clubtrancemediale’04 in Berlin (Their song was on the compilation CD), Fusion Festival ‘04, Contact Europe VJ Festival ‘04 (Germany), Tokyo style in Stockholm (Sweden) and LE BARATHON #3 (France).
ODD are, of course, collaborating with other artists. For example, ODD remixed the song for Torpedo Boyz.

In 2007, first EP “Kwai Raku EP” launched from TOKTOK’s label “V-Records”.

Today, the name “ODD” stands for an innovative and witty electro-sound with live japanese singing.
ODD is producing very unique sounds and rhythms, which are made by manipulating the sound of the japanese language. They are deeply fascinating to the audience. Their lyrics are full of irony, dealing with everyday-life phenomena from japanese culture and society. When you think about the meaning of their lyrics, you stop dancing.

ODD reminds us of the good late 80ies and early 90ies, when videogames and gameboys were re-forming musical aesthetics and when videogamesound was a part of everyday life. Their music is a mixture of the sound of urban reality and videogames.

Daisuke PAK is inspired by techno pop and new wave artists such as YMO, Denki Groove and Kraftwerk. He is also working as a DJ, playing electro and techno music, and organizes club events called “Electric Masaru”.

ODDはただのまちがい！

ODD( V-Record / Berlin )

Daisuke PAK ( ダイスケパク、芸名 ) によるテクノパンクなサウンドに日本語ラップをのせたダンスミュージックプロジェクト。　2001年からドイツ、ベルリンを拠点に活動。

1995年、サンプラーを購入し、地元仲間とノイズパフォーマンスユニット＜OIL FISH >を結成する。精力的な活動ではあったが、あまりにも気狂いじみたパフォ−マンスのせいで地元広島での活動場所を失う。

そのため1997年、活動を関西（姫路）に移し、ODD(オーデーデー)をスタート。２年間の日本での活動の後、渡仏。パリの ecole des beaux arts でのライブが評判となり、「Yamada」がコンピレーションCD「la superette」に収録される。

2001年活動の拠点をベルリンに移し、これまでにクラブ Tresor, Maria am Ostbahnhof, Cafe Moskau, Batofar, Melkweg, Culture Box などのドイツ、フランス、オランダ、ポ−ランド、オーストリア、スイス、スウェーデン、デンマークなどのヨーロッパ各都市で１００以上のライブをする。

2004年には、ベルリンのエレクトロミュージックフェスティバル CLUB TRANSMEDIALE ‘04（同イベントのコンピレーションCDに「Wakai Noumiso」を提供）に参加。その他Fusion Festival ‘04, Contact Europe VJ Festival ‘04 (ドイツ), Tokyo style in Stockholm (スウェーデン) LE BARATHON #3 (フランス)に参加し、コラボレーションも積極的で、2005年からジャーマンバンド”Torpedo Boyz”の12インチリミキサー／ラッパーとしてアルバム・ライブにも参加している。

2007年、TOKTOKのレーベル V-Records（Berlin）よりデビューシングル「KWAI RAKU EP (カイラクイーピー)」をリリース。

現在、ODDのライブ活動と共にDJ Daisuke PAKとしても活動中〜自身がオーガナイズする”Electric Masaru”のレジデントも努めている。
