Onzieme sees two impressive artists from Cocoon Recordings, one of the most acclaimed techno
labels from Germany: Guy Gerber and Tiefschwarz. The Israeli producer/DJ and the ex-national
football player Gerber first came to attention in 2004 with 'Stoppage Time', which became the
biggest peaktime destroyer in the year. The track was picked by the international DJs likes of John
Digweed, Shasha and Sven Vath. The owner of Cocoon Recordings Sven actually loved it so much
that Guy came to join the Cocoon Empire. He made it to Osaka last year and showed amazing DJ
skills but he will perform an exclusive live set this time. The electro house duo from Berlin, Tiefschwarz
will join the party to make the night even more special. The Schwarz brothers, Alexander
and Sebastian created Tiefschwarz in 1996 to express their love for house music. They started their
career as DJs first but made the step to producers and remixers and now they are one of the hottest
remixers in the world. They've worked for Madonna, The Rapture, Depech Mode, Missy Elliott and
even the legendary Earth Wind and Fire. It will be a big night so be sure to get there early.
TIME: 10pm • DOOR: ¥3,500/1D, ADV: ¥2,800/1D • GUEST LIVE: GUY GERBER • GUEST DJ: TIEFSCHWARZ • DJs：KIHIRA NAOKI, SHINE,JUN OHMUNE,KUNIMITSU
Nagisa Music Festival Osaka is having its third installment this
spring. The festival takes place on the Maishima Sports island,
which was created to host the Olympic Games Osaka in 2008.
Even though the city lost the bid to Beijing, there will be another
entertainment on this artificial island. This big open-air rave
features house, techno, trance, jam rock, chillout and raggae/hip
hop stages - some being added to the list for the first time this
year. The headliners include the veteran German techno DJ Frank
Muller aka Beroshima, UK ambient techno DJ Mixmaster Morris,
the king of J-House Tomoyuki Tanaka aka Fantastic Plastic Machine
and lots of other Japanese DJs/artist will perform a diverse
range of music. There will be a kids' area for those with small
children and also international foods and some flea markets. So
bring the blanket, relax and embrace music under the blue sky.
Time: 9pm • ON THE DAY: ¥4,000, ADV: ¥3,000 • DJs: Frank Muller, Mixmaster Morris, Tomoyuki Tanaka, Tasaka, Eye, Full Moon Mondo + more • LIVE: Altz, Dachambo, Rovo, Uni, Little Tempo, Goma da Didgeridoo + more
