Description
A project conceived by Canadian-born, Japan-based hip-hop producer ExPatJPN. Making beats since 1995, ExPatJPN spent the early 2000s collaborating with underground artists including Deacon the Villain of CunninLynguists, Pigeon John (Quannum Projects, Basement Records) of L.A. Symphony, RedCloud (Syntax Records), Luke Geraty (Syntax Records), and NapNdreds (De Rap Winkel Records, Freshchest Records).
Don't call it a comeback. Although technically, it kind of is.
In 2026, ExPatJPN returns with “Dossier 001: Unexplained”, his first official instrumental project.
Eight tracks of dusty samples, dark cinematic production, and mysterious dialogue. Inspired by 1970s Italian crime funk and the raw aesthetics of underground boom bap, this is more than a beat collection. It's a series of stories told through chopped samples, strange voices, and sounds from somewhere in the shadows.
Embark on a journey into the missing, the forgotten, and the voices they left behind.
