DONGROSSO’s new single ‘NIPPON’ marks the arrival of a bold new sound ahead of debut album ‘ANTI SOCIAL SOUNDSYSTEM’

Japanese musicians Shinichi Osawa (known for MONDO GROSSO) and DONGURIZU have teamed up to form DONGROSSO, unveiling their first-ever single NIPPON from the forthcoming album ANTI SOCIAL SOUNDSYSTEM. Set for release on April 23, 2025, this collaboration marks an exciting new chapter in the world of experimental Japanese music.

NIPPON offers listeners a unique sound, featuring a low-key rap over minimalist techno beats. The track takes inspiration from the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, exploring the beauty of imperfection and simplicity through both its lyrics and musical composition.

Accompanying the release is an innovative music video, entirely generated by AI, showcasing bizarre and surreal interpretations of Japan as seen through the eyes of the outside world. This cutting-edge video style complements the experimental nature of the song itself, establishing DONGROSSO as a dynamic force in the electronic music scene.

With ANTI SOCIAL SOUNDSYSTEM set to arrive in April 2025, fans can look forward to a diverse mix of sounds, from electronic beats to hip-hop influences. Pre-add and pre-save links are already available for those eager to get an early taste of what’s to come.
