The Makunouchi Bento, or traditional japanese lunchbox, is a highly lacquered wooden box divided into quadrants, each of which contains different delicacies. It is also one of the most familiar images of Japan’s domestic environment. Reading the box as both an object and a metaphor, Felix Petrescu (Waka X) and Valentin Toma (Qewza) founded this experimental / electronica project back in 2001.

At the time, Felix was a member of Urban Experience - one of the pioneers of the underground electronica scene in Timisoara (Romania) focused mainly on dance music, and Valentin had his solo project. The first Makunouchi Bento album, Himette, was finished in no time, being a collection of new tracks, but also old unreleased works of Urban Experience and Qewza.

With their album available for free download, further singles and EPs released on well-known netlabels like Eerik Inpuj Sound, Miasmah, Metempsychosis, Ogredung, and also a live act and a DJ set at two important musical events in Timisoara (TM01Base Festival and TMBase Fused Series), they started to get their music heard both in Romania and abroad.

By 2004, their discography included many compilations (both commercial and free) like the TMBase Festival Compilations, Collection 2: Moving (Databloem), Apegenine Volume 1 (Apegenine), VGM Mixtape #8 (No Sides Records), Fishing for Complements (Retinascan), Snowsky & No Ink and Cucina Vagabonda (Ogredung), Retork (Enough Records), 101 (One) and many othes.
