Denki Groove
Denki Groove (電気グルーヴ, Denki Gurūvu; "Electric Groove") is a Japanese music group founded in 1989. One of the foundational Japanese house and techno acts of the 1990s, it was founded by composer and singer Takkyu Ishino (who would then embark on a successful solo career as a techno DJ and producer) alongside singer and rapper Pierre Taki.
The strong absurdist sense of humor, a core part of their aesthetic that pervaded many of their compositions, along with the adoption of a stage name by every member, made them stand apart from similar Western electronic dance acts of the time such as 808 State, Underworld and The Chemical Brothers.
Songs by Denki Groove have been featured in Japanese commercials and in the soundtracks for popular anime shows, including Eureka Seven, Kuuchuu Buranko and Devilman Crybaby.
