OUT NOW: Que Sakamoto Debut on Hivern Discs
'Hivernation Vol.4' is out now! The fourth installment closes the 'Hivernation' project, a compilation series from the label Hivern Discs by John Talabot conceived as a way of documenting music created during the lockdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic. For the last issue our Que Sakamoto together with NT Feat. 劇団 歴史新大陸 contributed a nice track with the wonderful title "Maketetamaruka" and it turns out to be a real secret weapon.
One more important thing: 'Hivernation' will remain a project exclusively for Bandcamp, which cannot be heard or acquired on any other platform.

This track has garnered support from the Hardway Brothers (AFLOS), Ivan Smagghe, Moscoman, Autarkic, Marvin & Guy, Zombies In Miami, Khidja and Mehmet Aslan.
Que’s first vinyl release was on To Rack & Ruin's (UK) Edit series with the tracks 'Mr. Moonlight' and 'Salut Des Frangines'. After that his next vinyl release was on Roam Recordings with the track 'Lalo' in collaboration with NT which achieved a Top 5 ranking in Beatport's Indie/Nu Disco Must Hear Chart in March of 2017.
