CLUB JOULE 5th Anniversary Special —
EMMA HOUSE
 The
symbol of the Shinsaibashi
night scene, club Joule is having its
5th anniversary this month on the 18th, house music masters from
Tokyo and Osaka will be playing to celebrate this house of music.
DJ EMMA — a guy, by the way — started djing in 1985 and
quickly worked his way to the top of the Japanese house scene (doubters
can check out his funky, sexy sound on his latest album EMMA HOUSE
10). He will be joined by Osaka’s busiest house DJ and producer
of the live dance group A Hundred Birds, YOKU. Not one to miss.
7/18(SUN) 20:00 @ JOULE. DOOR: ¥2,500(1D)
/ ADV: ¥2,000(1D).
DJs:EMMA, YOKU, YOHEY YOKOTA.
TWIST YOUR EASTERN NOODLE PRODUCTION presents
QUIET MOMENT IN NEON PARK LIFE
 Our
favorite outdoor party season is finally back again. Quiet Moment
in Neon Park Life is alternative free outdoor dance music and art
project undertaken by a number of part time urban visionaries. They
will serve as a catalyst to kick start something fresh and alternative
in this gleaming chrome megatropolis that is Osaka. Armed with a
small club sound system they seek out unusual, interesting venues,
for example gallery spaces and Chinese cabaret strip bars and transform
them for a night. To compliment the vibe, forward thinking DJs drop
an electric mix ranging from heavy jazz to tribal tech-house...
actually any beats! Get off at the Tanimachi 4 chome station, take
exit 10 and go straight ahead for 300m. See you all there in the
lush intimate surrounds of the green sanctuary.
7/24(SAT) from SUNSET to SUNRISE @ NANIWA
PALACE PARK. FREE!!
DJs: COLORBLIND DJ MASSIVE, JULES, BRETT, NEAL, DIMITRI, LUKE, YOHEI

BLACK BEATZ BOX x UNDA BLOW
Frenchman Laurent Daumail, aka DJ Cam, has a cult
following amongst lovers of melodic downbeat, and anyone with a
taste for something different. He’s collaborated with DJ Shadow,
Massive Attack, DJ Krush and Kid Koala and does remix work for quite
a few Japanese artists as well. It is hard to categorize DJ CamÅfs
music but if you were going to try you might call it laid back-down
beat-hip hop meets old school jazz... or maybe not. You get the
idea though: go see for yourself and expect to be (very) pleasantly
surprised. Warming up will be drum ‘n’ bass act, Pendulum,
who got the Best Single award from Knowledge magazine in 2003. Very
cool. Chill, even.

/ ADV: ¥3,000(1D).
GUEST DJs: CAM(from France), PENDULUM (from UK). DJs: MENTHOL NOMAD,
