Japan's DJ OKAWARI creates music that deftly straddles genres to mint a new style; hip-hop beats keep songs pulsing, classical piano runs cascade in whimsical melodies and jazz-influenced vocals provide a smoky, late-night vibe. OKAWARI debuted in 2008 with DIORAMA, and delivered the best of all three genres in tracks like "Midnight Train", which is full of lush, layered instrumentation and a gorgeous hook from Emi Meyer. His later work veers closer to hip-hop without losing any of his piano-born magic: 2017's "Bounce" even drops a tight verse from Talib Kweli over a rippling, liquid beat.
