Babylon Disco is the sixth release by Saitama, Japan's experimental electropop enthusiast Black Opal. Black Opal is the instrumental side project of prolific artist Kaz Takamasa, better known to the world as Boys Age and for his psychedelic bedroompop hi-fi recordings. Similar to his predecessors, Babylon Disco is part vaporwave, part deep-house and part anime funk. Futuristic odd glares in soundtrack format and easy steps to learn.

RIYL: Terlu, Boys Age, Andrew Gordon, H Takahashi, and Imaginary Square Room label
