Noriko Shakti

Noriko Shakti is a visionary producer, composer, lyricist, vocalist, and instrumentalist from Japan. Her music blends the rhythms of tabla and Indian classical music with Japanese and Oriental melodies, infused with drum and bass, jungle, reggae, trip-hop, and IDM. The result is a boundary-defying sound bridging ancient traditions and modern electronica. Noriko writes, sings, and plays instruments like tabla, khartal, ektara, melodica, piano, and koto, showcasing her versatility. Her past releases include Shanti Protocol Remixes EP, Reunion EP, Anatani Kimeta (a Japanese-language tribute to Raag Bhopali), and WITHIN the Time and Place EP, praised for its blend of Indian classical, jazz, and electronica. Recent singles include One Spliff a Day Keeps the Evil Away, a jungle anthem featuring Lady Skavya, and Echoes of the East, a melancholic koto and tabla-driven bass track available on Bandcamp and soon on Spotify. 2025 will see the release of KYO, a groundbreaking album blending cultures and genres, alongside new singles. 東京出身の音楽プロデューサー、作曲家、タブラ奏者。 日本とインドの伝統音楽を基に、現代エレクトロニカを融合させた革新的な音楽性で注目を集めています。代表作には「Shanti Protocol Remixes EP」「Reunion EP」「Anatani Kimeta」「WITHIN the Time and Place EP」などがあり、2025年にはアルバム「KYO」のリリース予定です。 norikoshakti.com
