Heinken presents Connect'05

For those waiting for a huge techno rave in the Kansai area, here's the perfect one for you. Connect 05, presented by Heineken, is a pure techno party with 100% Japanese talent too. Featuring the king of J-techno, Takkyu Ishino, 'techno diplomat' TOBY (so-called because of his aggressive touring in Asia and Europe) and other local Osaka DJs, the headline act are the handsome twins from Okinawa RYUKYUDISCO (Okinawa was once called the Ryukkyu Kingdom of course). Their infectious mixture of Okinawan rhythms and techno sound is a unique way to get
to the southern islands without leaving Kansai!

5/20 (Fri) 21:00 @ NAMBA HATCH
Door: ¥5,250/1Beer • Live: Ryukyudisko • DJs: Takkyu Ishino, Toby, Ten

Dotencho! Osaka meets Hell

Munich's very own godfather of electroclash DJ/producer DJ Hell, runs one of the most innova-tive electronic music labels out there — International Deejay Gigolos — and has collaborated with artists as diverse as Larent Garnier and P. Diddy (inbetween helping out the likes of Tiga, Miss Kitten, Fischerspooner and more). GQ magazine's Man of the Year is a big fan of Versace and has a hand in putting together their fashion shows, but this time is mission is strictly musical. Mr Gigolo doesn't usually make it to Osaka so don't miss this chance. Dress up … and get down.
