Biography Mukai was born in Japan and moved to East Anglia at the age of eleven. He attended Summerhill School where he started playing bass guitar and other instruments. Gigwise.com also gave the album an enthusiastic review, calling it "a lo-tech electro-fuzz monster".

Since 2015, he has been a member of Vanishing Twin.

Mukai is currently also a member of Becker & Mukai, Off World, Stalactite and School Of Hypnosis.

Musical style His music has been described as "incorporating left-field disco, funk, hip-hop, and house, along with good old sloppy garage rock and spaghetti Western soundtracks", and "post punk, somewhat cheesy funkdom interspersed with droning catchy dance hooks". Gigwise.com described his debut album as "a schizophrenic shot of spaghetti western mayhem, angular foot-stamping menace, and made-in-the-kitchen-sink funk".
