International dance duo Coburn is still relatively new to the scene,
but it didn't take these electro terrorists long to become the world's
most-wanted. You may know Tim Healy as the eclectic trance DJ of
the same name and Pete Martin as the Slide half of Cass and Slide,
but chances are you know the sound of these two extremely talented
producers from their massive, genre-busting first record ‘We Interrupt
The Programme' (2005). Their next single ‘Give Me Love', on
cutting edge German label Great Stuff Recordings, sampled Donna
Summer's classic ‘I Feel Love' and the rest, as they say, is history.
Don't miss label mates GusGus and Tomcraft on the decks too.
Darren Emerson, formerly of Underworld, is coming back to Osaka with a big smile on his face, and
ours. The guru of the mighty Underwater Label (no connection to Underworld, despite the cheeky
name) has been the benevolent leader of club-land for some time already but shows no sign of
loosing his touch, at least not as long as he hangs on to that handsomely varied record box of his.
Whether he's playing Nirvana or Ibiza house, it's always fun, and not just for the audience – he is
known to dance while he's playing too! And if that doesn't get you moving, Japanese techno maestros
Co-Fusion and DJ Tasaka will. Black Chamber is a cool underground warehouse venue in an ever-soslightly
shady part of Osaka and this could be the perfect chance to check it out.
