Ultra Living

Ultra Living is the duo of two brothers, Takuma and Tetsushi Nonaka. Takuma was formerly the buyer for a classical record store, and both brothers are multi instrumentalists. Growing up on hip-hop, the two brothers began recording their own version of the music. In 1996, with a backpack of demos and a notebook of label addresses copied from record sleeves, they flew to London. Within two days they were sitting across from Alan McGee, signing to Creation Records.[1] Their first album, Monochromatic Adventure[2], was released from Creation Records in 1998. Since then they have released four albums. Around the same time as their 2000 album Transgression[3], Ultra Living also collaborated with the American emcee Mike Ladd on "Preppy MC Death of Hip Hop Vol.1"[4] released on New York's underground hip-hop label Ozone.[5] Ultra Living has done several remix works including The Boo Radleys[6], Sub Pop act Pigeonhed[7], Japanese girls duo Puffy AmiYumi[8], The Cure[9], and HiM (band)'s single from FatCat Records[10]. They were also members of HiM (band).
