Santa Dharma:
Santa Dharma is a husband-wife experimental pop band consisting of Tomo and Holly. They meld toy synthesizers, fuzzy electric strings, drum machines, and Buddhist accents, to create lo-fi, ethereal music that resurrects a retro future. The name of their band combines the founder of Zen Buddhism, Boddhidharma with Holly’s birthplace California (where cities are often named “San” or “Santa” something). They released their first EP, Sakura High, in June 2019 and are working on their first full-length album.

Dreamlings:
“Dreamlings” is the solo project of Daniel Kurak. Originally a drummer from Cleveland, Daniel relocated to Tokyo four years ago with a collection of synthesizers in tow. As Dreamlings, he performs a lofi blend of post punk, synth pop, rock and disco. For the Buddhagaya stream, expect a number of newer tracks recorded in quarantine.
