µ¤±¢¦Ä (also known as Cycheouts, Psycheouts, etc) was a Japanese Jungle/Drum'n'Bass unit from Osaka that was active from 1994-2004. The group was formed initially by (then of , donning the alias ) and noise musician Oohashi Akira, calling himself . In addition, (acting as both a producer and VJ), (on turntables), and (both as MCs), and two theatrical performers known as Hater-E made up the rest of the unit's lineup. They released numerous albums over the years, on both and their own label , as well as many non-label releases. These non-label releases were notable as their content had a tendency to vary somewhat between each individual copy, despite being presented as the same release. Their works contained samples from a very wide variety of sources, such as industrial pioneers , anime such as Urusei Yatsura, many 8-bit arcade games, , and . µ¤±¢¦Ä performed live alongside such acts as ; one of their most prolific live venues being Japan's Fuji Rock Festival in 1999. Their live act was very different from most of their recorded music, in that most songs featured full live vocals from MCíïóíüë along with MC support from Die-Suck and Hal, scratching by «Ã¿-HELL, and intimidating on-stage antics from the Hater-Es. The military dress code, live MCing, and turntable spinning was influenced by early appearences. In early 2004, the group disbanded, Akii leaving to focus on his new project Love Beach, Hal having his side-project , Die-Suck acting as vocalist for a number of grindcore acts, one of the Hater-Es continuing to DJ as , and Lucky continuing to run . (The current activities of the other Hater-E are unknown.) Mr. Ç£éï and «Ã¿-HELL (now using the alias ) then continued the group under the new name (Cycheouts Ghost).
