Satanicpornocultshop is a Japanese experimental music group making assemblage-style compositions that incorporate a variety of musical styles and techniques. The group draws heavily on hip hop and electronic influences to create "bricolage hip hop" inspired by the theories of Claude Lévi-Strauss.[1][2] Beginning in the early 2010s, the group began focusing on Juke and Footwork music, influenced by the Chicago scene.[3][4]

The name of the group is an adaptation of an earlier group, Magicpornocultshop, composed of Takuya Karusawa and Yoshibumi Etou. Magicpornocultshop debuted in 1995 on the compilation CD Floating on the 1st Floor from Japanese techno label Trip Trap Records. In 1997,[1] Karusawa started composing under the name Satanicpornocultshop, a group consisting of two of his own aliases: Alan Folkroe and Gammehuche. He retroactively killed off Alan Folkroe, ditching both aliases and started performing in Satanicpornocultshop under the name Ugh Yoing with the release of the self-titled CD Ugh Yoing in August 2002.[5] The group released their first album, Nirvana or Lunch? in 1998, and won Digital Music Honorary Mention from Prix Ars Electronica in 2006.[6] In the same year they won a Qwartz Award and performed in "Le Japon À La Cité de la Musique, Expériences limites" at Cité de la Musique, Paris.[7] In 2007, they performed at Experimentaclub'07, an experimental music festival in Madrid.[8] In 2010, the group signed with Some Bizzare Records and released the album Arkhaiomelisidonophunikheratos.[9] Takuya Karusawa died on August 8, 2018.[10]

NuNuLAXNuLAN and neji

neji is a sublabel of NuNuLAXNuLAN (Satanicpornocultshop's personal label) founded in 2001 which mainly released music on CD-R. The label was adapted and revived from a then-defunct label also called neji (ねじ) (spelled with hiragana) created by the artist Ningen Rocket (Takemi Ikeda). [11] Early neji disks were available from the old NuNuLAXNuLAN domain nunulaxnulan.biz [12] through e-mail order, but it has since gone down. Because these early neji disks were often limited to a small number of copies, the ones that are no longer being sold can be extremely rare.
