Montreal based alternative electronic visual band, TANUKI project, a sexy dark sound, mixing mesmerizing vocals, hypnotic synth-bass lines and powerful beats with colorful video projections. Their sound and visuals create a world you can feel in your brain and body – music that is art you can breath in. This band must be experienced live to truly catch and feel the artistic and stroboscopic trance they create.
Coming from

Independence for creation

Feeding on their professional experience in the fields of multimedia, web and graphic arts, they like to explore and collaborate to remain creative: they composed the original soundtrack of the viral 3D animation short movie I, Pet Goat II. Some forthcoming collaborations are to be announced with the creative Steambot Studios.
TRACE
TRACE is their third album to be released in 2015 - 2016 starting with an EP, some videos and shows. Trace is the fruit of a collaboration with singer Mic Dainjah and the black novels writer André Marois. A «multimedia concept» mixing videos, music, songs and a short film. The music is a mad electro Caribbean culture clash, some electronic soul... it's like a sound clash but everybody wins.
Tanuki soundsystem
The soundsystem version started early 2016 with a simple but irresistible recipe: 2 humans, 10 machines, 125bpm. Electronic audio video live performance with analog synths, a drum machine and a voice with effects. Some energizing dirty house A/V live act they’re taking on tour to Japan in spring 2017.
