System7 is a tech-trance unit based around Steve Hillage and Miquette
Giraudy, former members of the legendary space rock band Gong. The
dynamic yet spiritual sound of fat beats created by synthesizers and electric
guitars is so unique that you cannot really categorize their music; it's just
System7. This tour features their upcoming new album Phoenix , which is
very much inspired by a Japanese manga Hi No Tori (Phoenix) by Osamu
Tezuka, the godfather of Japanese manga culture, and they have collaborated
with other big trance acts such as Eat Static, Son Kite and Jam el Mar. You
can expect lots of brand new tracks on the night. Together with System7,
the newest addition to Underground Resistance's UR assault DJ team, DJ
3,000 aka Frank Juncaj is spinning pure Detroit Techno. If you are looking
for some quality electric sounds, this is a perfect night for you.

Once again, Osaka welcomes the king of progressive house, John
Digweed. This guy barely needs any introduction but just in case
you are living under a rock, let's do one anyway. Having started
DJing at local school parties in his early teens, he was influenced by
the house sensation "Second Summer of Love" in the late 80s (as
were other DJs, of course). He's been on the global scene for quite a
while and his list of achievements is groundbreaking to say the least.
However, highlights would be the first proper DJ mix compilation
from the acclaimed UK house label Renaissance, done with Sasha,
being the first British DJ to hold a residency at Twilo, the world's
best known club in NYC at that time as well as having remixed
tracks by big names such as Danny Tenaglia, Underworld and New
Order. Not only a DJ/producer, he runs the quality prog house label
Bedrock and also hosts a weekly radio show which features world
famous DJs and new talents such as Sasha, Sander Kleinenberg,
Desyn Masiello and James Zabiela to name a few. The gig is on
Tuesday night so you should apply for time off work right away!
