The newest member of the Deluxe family, Magical Mistakes (aka Erik Lau), was first brought to our attention thanks to Astro Nautico’s excellent 7 by 7 compilation. And while he did spend his college years in Nautico’s New York, he originally hails from California and now makes his home in Osaka.
He arrived in Japan three years ago, first spending some time as a hermit/teacher in Shiiba-son, the nation’s 3rd most remote village. When not teaching he’d drive through the mountains, play guitar, drink shochu with the locals and work on his music. This is where he created his Special Friends EP.
Now though, two years onward in Osaka, he runs the label/promotion/creative agency Perfect Touch. They attempt to bridge Eastern and Western cultures by bringing over many of their favourite artists, and then reciprocating, as they plan on doing this March and April when they fly to America. You can check out their tour dates right here, Magical Mistakes be performing with both Seiho and And Vice Versa. Here’s a fresh track from their mini tour EP…
Erik has a 2999 track on the way later this year, and has already remixed Metome for our Year Three album. Decompose / Reassemble is his best yet though, and could possibly be out in May, depending on the music video. No cover art yet either but it’s hot off of Matthewdavid’s mastering desk, we hope you enjoy.
Release date: TBA
