"Let's make a 12-inch single together" was the first email Nujabes sent in the year 2000, when Shing02 was living in the Bay Area. Over the next decade, the Japanese duo went on to create the epic Luv(sic) Hexalogy, a 6-part saga dedicated to the goddess of music. Part2 was recorded in the aftermath of 9/11, while Part3 was an ode recorded during the vast commercialization of the hip hop industry. Then the untimely passing of Jun Seba aka Nujabes in February of 2010 led Shing02 to record and release parts 4-6 with the help of Uyama Hiroto, who was Nujabes' go-to guy for live arrangements. Now, teamed up with the dynamic Manchester-based OMA, and Shing02's trusted turntable maestro SPIN MASTER A-1, the Luv(sic) Hexalogy will come to life on stage sans samples and full of live textures that the audiences of Nujabes tributes in the past have come accustomed to.
