Three upcoming young artists from Ninja Tune: TSHA, Jayda G, and Barry Can’t Swim

I would like to introduce some promising young artists to wrap this up. TSHA’s debut album, “Capricorn Sun,” released last fall, was a superb house album.

The album focused on house music with occasional rave beats and riffs on classic 1990s songs. TSHA is an artist of the new generation, but she also has a strong sense of the dance scene from the 1990s onward.

Then, Jayda G, who recently released an album from the same label as TSHA, Ninja Tune. She’s another artist moving freely between house and pop. Her single “Scars” from the album is a hit right now.

Another Ninja Tune DJ, Barry Can’t Swim, is a Scottish DJ emerging with his jazz and soul-influenced house. Barry Can’t Swim is another new-generation house DJ with a freestyle that defies categorization.

He is touring actively and is expected to release his debut album in October. I would really love to see a joint showcase in Japan as these three hot young artists are all in Ninja Tune.

Away from the UK, I would like to introduce dance music artists from Germany, France, and the US, all connected by a sense of humor for the next article. Enjoy summer, everyone!
