Descend Into the Horror Manga-Inspired Mayhem of Munchkin Kat's "UZUMAKI"

Munchkin Kat is back with a new single, “UZUMAKI,” dragging listeners into a twisted realm where glitch-hop and bass music collide.

The track’s title derives from the work of famed horror manga artist Junji Ito, whose beloved series of the same name was inspired by the iconic fantasy writer H.P. Lovecraft. Ito’s surrealist story is about a quiet town that descends into madness when people become obsessed with the concept of spirals.

Munchkin Kat beautifully channels Ito’s timeless work through a dark and disorienting banger with bass that writhes like a living, breathing entity. The track’s relentless drive mimics the inescapable pull of Ito’s spirals, each cinematic layer coiling tighter around our ears.

Meanwhile, the producer’s textured synths eerily glide through the mix while glitchy percussion rattles like bones in a digitized graveyard. To that end, “UZUMAKI” doesn’t just pay homage to horror—it becomes horror, transforming Ito’s visual nightmares into an auditory blitz that leaves the mind reeling.
