Black Beatz Box
If you are into the mind-challenging electronic
sounds of Aphex Twin or Squarepusher, this is the night for you.
The owner of the Planet Mu Records, M-ziq (mu-zic) aka Mike Paradinas,
is coming to Kyoto. Using his complicated sampler, he mixes aggressive
drill'n'bass with ultra-delicate melodious tunes to great effect.
Currently collaborating with Luke Vibert as Smooth Helmet and
with Richard D. James as Mike & Rich, he is without doubt
one of the must-see exponents in the UK experimental scene. Another
electronic genius from UK, Capitol K will be warming up the night.
His sound is as unique as his multi-cultural upbringing (born
in Malta and raised in Arabia, Brunei and UK). Prepare for an
innovative night, he might be the next big thing.

London Calling — All Night Long
 Following
the commercial blowout of the super club and superstar DJ era,
the UK club scene is enjoying a renaissance. With leading London
institutions such as The End, 93 Feet East and Fabric offering
both integrity and an eclectic musical mix that standard house
nights cannot match, discerning clubbers have returned in droves.
Channeling that spirit and sound, London Calling has quickly established
itself as one of the leading electro house nights in Osaka and
attracted a friendly and open-minded crowd.
The organizers have assembled an international line-up consisting
of forward thinking underground DJs. The eclectic music policy
is centered on house, electro and electroclash, but don't be surprised
to hear bootlegs, italo disco, 80s retro or even alt as the DJs
drag vocals, synths and bass lines from all over the musical spectrum.
London Calling is a welcome boost to the slumbering Osaka house
scene. Following a one-month break, the event returns in January
to its regular slot on the last Saturday of every month at Club
Triangle. Visit their new website for info, DJ mixes and guest
list registration.
