Ahead of their time in many ways, *Joy* is an Aotearoa artist, who fearlessly creates music, the way they want, when they want. Even though they may be still considered as underground, *Joy* has a back catalogue like no other artist, writing in mono, and performing live in the Christchurch fashion district of Aotearoa NZ.
Home 2.0 is a sample-based organic Jazz-hop fusion album, in electronic elements. The songs have both an organic and synth feel and as *Joy* describes, ‘it feels like coming home’ as the roots of his musicianship is a as bass player. Firmly a mix of his Japanese and Kiwi cultures, *Joy* brings a unique style to the music landscape, with impeccable artwork, sonic crafting and an out-of-this-world energy.
Previously writing with analog hardware synths, MoogMinimoog, Sequential OB6 synthesizers and logic drum machines, Home 2.0 hails back to *Joy* roots and this is evident in this 8-track album. *Joy* is master of audio sensory experiences with their album projects, which are impeccably complimentary, so enter their world for the total experience!
“While scientists have no time but trying finding out what is beyond a blackhole, me, jazz and hip-hop will also try to unfold meanings of blackholes and risky journeys beyond physicality, psychologically, spiritually and something all those unknowns, protected by mighty God's grace and glory”. *Joy*
