about

An EP written during the quiet hours between midnight and dawn after Mayaewk’s gigs in Japan, “Konbini” (AKA a convenience store) is an ode to the place that offered Mayaewk food, cigarettes and comfort when nowhere else was open. Heavily inspired by the Japanese vinyl he had been purchasing and listening to at the time, this particular EP is unique in the way it so clearly offers a slice of Mayaewk’s experience in Tokyo.

Mayaewk combines mellow lo-fi beats with old Japanese samples, producing a body of work which has the juxtaposing feeling of being both chilled out and eerie, (see Sancha and Kawaii). This contrast could be said to embody the feeling of living in a country so different from your own, however, on the opposite end of the scale, there are plenty of elements within “Konbini” (see Mirai) that emulate the excitement that comes with exploring a new place. In short, “Konbini” offers the comforting refuge of a real-life Konbini, an essential to everyday life in Japan. Whereas, it’s more eccentric components epitomise a strange new world outside.
