Bohkeh shares lively new track “Cotton Damn” [Premiere]

Los Angeles-based artist RJ Lim, a.k.a. Bohkeh, is a guy who likes to have fun. Go to his Soundcloud page and you'll see the Japanese snack Pocky as his cover photo. Look below at the cover art for his upcoming EP, Cotton, and what do you see? Multicolored Q-tips, motherfucker. His music is the kind of candy-coated production you might hear popping up in a Ryan Hemsworth mix, a combination of hip-hop samples, twee synth melodies and a sugar -rush euphoria.

Lim has remixed a wide range of artists, from pop to underground, with Giraffage being a frequent choice. Now a new EP of original Bohkeh material, Cotton, is on the way, with lead single "Cotton Damn" premiering right now. Lim seems hardly able to contain his giddiness on this one, get on his level and check it out below.

I received my degree in English from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and Virginia is still home. Apart from my yearly pilgrimage to Moogfest and occasional shows in DC, Detroit, and New York, I like to stick to the fringes, with an eye always open toward music that is forward-thinking and unique, whatever the genre.
