Guruguru Brain label - the best of the Asian underground

Kikagaku Moyo are a Japanese psychedelic band from Tokyo and since 2015 they run a label Guruguru Brain, based in Amsterdam and dedicated to highlighting the best of the Asian underground. By now, they have published 19 releases spanning continents and styles, and will be publishing their 20th this year. "Their existing output has already established Guruguru Brain as one of the world’s most dynamic sources for psychedelic music, one that embodies all of its eras", Stereogum writes and chooses "10 records from their catalog that together offer a summary as well as a launching point for the frontiers Guruguru Brain and their still-growing roster will open up for us next".
