::Plastiq Phantom (Imputor? Records)

Tucked behind the hyperkinetic beats and glitchy sound design are delicate, 
accessible melodies and a direct approach to songwriting that's rarely heard 
in the world of "intelligent dance music." QP's refined sense of melody in 
motion, capturing the lively patterns that surround us but are so easily 
overlooked. He is also know for his alter-ego, Johnny Kawasaki, who writes 
naughty glitch cut-ups of pop tracks.

His live shows are rumored to involve lots of alcohol and Walt Disney 
lip-sync sessions.
