Our latest digital release comes from Osaka native Ririko Nishikawa (AKA Lily Ko). Over the past decade in Tokyo, Ririko has DJed at many of the city's leading venues including Vent and Aoyama Tunnel, sharing the bill with DJs including Chez Damier, Eric Duncan and Acid Pauli.

She made her production debut in November 2024 with the pulsating optimism of Pure Rubber on the Mellow Magic Worldwide Part 2 EP, alongside established artists such as Belgian duo Charlotte & Reinhard, on the Be Strong Be Free label.

Previously only available on vinyl, Pure Rubber is now available digitally exclusively from Palms & Charms.

"In line with its elastic title, Lily Ko's Pure Rubber is a bright, bouncing bit of 'Tokyo Balearic'. Carried by a forceful 4/4 and party handclaps, summer, blue sky bleeps play tag with bongos, a break-like beat and a B-line that pays homage to late '80s house. Quality touches of both piano and synth tickling them along the way." - Dr Rob (Ban Ban Ton Ton).
