Sazae sees the return of the minimal king and queen, Richie Hawtin and Magda, from the globally
recognized imprint M_nus Label. The Berlin-based Canadian-bred techno DJ/producer Richie launched
the label in 1998 to spread out the beauty of simplicity (i.e. Minus), and gathered like-minded
talents such as Troy Pierce, Marc Houle, Mathew Jonson, Loco Dice and his long time mate Magda,
who is Polish born but grew up in the States. Over the last few years, Richie and his crew have been
feeding the hungry techno lovers with quality electronic music which has lead to Minus being named
as Label of the Year in the German music magazine Groove and also being voted the No.1 label
the respected club portal Resident Adviser in 2006. Some people say “minimal is dead” and it might
be true to the ordinary producers. But great music will survive no matter what and that’s what their
sound is all about. Come and enjoy the real beauty of Minus, where less is more.
Japan is known for its high quality outdoor festivals and one of
the best ones Nagisa is finally coming to Osaka. The festival first
started in 2003 in Tokyo and now it’s the biggest dance music
outdoor festival in the country. There will be five stages and each
will represent the different type of music: house, techno, trance, jam, freestyle, chillout and some
performers. On hand are the Japanese techno god Takkyu Ishino, the house legends from Osaka A
Hundred Birds performing a live set, and Tsuyoshi, Ree. K Masa, Full Moon Mondo for the tranceheadz.
“Kids Area” is also a big bonus as well. If you haven’t experienced any of the Japanese best
outdoor festivals yet due to transportation, financial or family issues, then this is the one for you!
Time: 9am–9pm • Entry: ¥3,000 at the door, Adv: Y2,500 • DJs: TAKKYU ISHINO, ALTOM, TUSYOSHI, REE.K & MASA,
