JAMES HOLDEN interview here
NYORON FESTA @ WORLD, COLLAGE, HATI HATI,
EAST
If you think all the action is happening at the
Winter Music Conference in Miami at this time of the year, then
you are sadly mistaken. The NYORON FESTA is the club bash in Kyoto;
offering you a one night pass whereby you can check out four different
clubs in the Kiyamachi area— WORLD, COLLAGE, HATI HATI and
EAST. The lineups are eclectic and original, such as the techno
genius Ken Ishii who won the best techno DJ at the DJ Awards 2004,
one of the busiest house/techno DJs in Kansai, DJ Mamezuka, EXP
ensemble, the guitar player from the spacey funky unit nutron, the
electric rock ambient group from the Kyoto underground scene, zOoOoOm
and much much more. A must for hip hoppaz, the electric headz, jazz
masters and even rock lovers.
3/25/FRI @ 21:00 • ONE NIGHT PASS AT
THE DOOR: ¥3,900, ADV: ¥3,400. DJs: KEN ISHII, OE aka CAPTAIN
FUNK, MITSU THE BEATS (from GAGLE), AYASHIGE (from WRENCH), MAMEZUKA
+ more. LIVE: LIMITED EXPRESS, zOoOoOm, EXP ensemble, KING BROTHERS,
nontroppo , NEON aka STYLE BLOW HEADS+ more. www.nyoron.net.
AREA G @ KARMA
 Alex
Paterson, the man behind the pioneers of the early-90's ambient
house duo The Orb, and Thomas Fehlmann (who became the co-producer
after Jimmy Cauty had left the unit in 1990) are coming back to
Japan together as Le Petit Orb. Yes, it is a small version of The
Orb and that's why it is possible for them to perform at the rather
small but cozy venue Karma, not at the Osaka Dome! It is going to
be a more dance floor based live set than their original experimental-and-sometimes-hard-to-understand
style. But don't worry, Dr. Alex Paterson will be spinning by himself
as well, so you will be able to see his eccentric side, for sure.
4/1/FRI @ 23:00 • DOOR: ¥3,500/1D,
ADV: ¥3,000/1D.
LIVE: LE PETIT ORB, NEON
DJs: ALEX PATERSON, THOMAS FEHLMANN
