Welcome to the website of Chokai, electronic music producer.
Chokai is a mind-bending mix of intricate sounds, beats and noises with an emphasis on delving into to the very psyche of society.
"My music is an oad to the spirit of the times. Messed up, twisted, over-evolved and yet somehow contains inexplicably beautiful spaces"
"All that there is to know is beyond what we can even conceive, so by exploring what we don't perceive as conventional, we reach a higher state of consciousness"

"Translated as 'happy goat' in norwegian, inspired by an old picture I found taken in 1977, somewhere in Norway im not quite sure. The first part is titled 'rainbow cats' which you can faintly hear in the mix, I wanted to convey an alternative reality within your own home, a silly one where hundreds of brightly coloured rainbow cats inhabit, in which a state of insurmountable calm is born from. 'I wish I was a cake maker' follows, which is as simple as it sounds. Its meant to express a feeling that, if your immensely stoned one evening you discover you have an amazing talent for making cakes. A dull, dopey happiness arises from your freshly baked muffins. After this, a more conventional track which I can never really escape due to my love all fat beats. This one is titled 'toyko', a deliberate misspelling of 'Tokyo'. Its a piano/bassy/beaty track that I liked and wanted to include on the EP. The next part is a ludicrous look at society's view of nuclear weapons, in that its seen as fucking cool, hence the fucking cool bass riffs, which goes into a nasty sample with that disgusting 1950's style drama music, showing that in reality nuclear weapons are gay. The EP ends with 'thirteen and a half billion light years', i don't really know the relevance of the funky test card music in the background, it just seemed to work with Darnell's speech about the size of the universe. The mans a genius.
