MYSTICS (Marcus Henriksson x Kuniyuki Takahashi x J.A.K.A.M.)
The unit Mystics consists of Marcus Henriksson x J.A.K.A.M. x Kuniyuki. Marcus, who says that he was greatly influenced by his musical activities in Japan, both mentally and musically, came across J.A.K.A.M.'s vinyl on the recommendation of a friend. Marcus became a big fan of J.A.K.A.M. and offered to collaborate with him on a song, which was the beginning of the project. In 2011, mule released an album under the name of Koss x Henriksson x Mullaert, and Kuniyuki, with whom they have been deepening their friendship through many sessions, was added as a member. The album will be completed in 2021 after the first live performance in Tokyo in January 2020. I hope you will enjoy the fusion of the three different personalities.
