About

KAGAMI is a Cosmic Funk duo based in the Netherlands.

What began as a shared love for 80s Japanese City Pop and AOR grew into a project that also embraces the pulse of French Touch, Italo Disco, and Brazilian MPB. Inspired by artists like Daft Punk and Casiopea, their music blends live instrumentation with synth-centered production into a sound which is both nostalgic and forward-looking.
