ALIEN FAMILY's final one to be held at Contact with Z@P

dj masda’s party ALIEN FAMILY, held around the globe, to host an evening with the first international artist to be booked in Japan since the pandemic.  〈Cabaret Recordings〉, run by dj masda, has become one of the world’s leading labels in electro and breakbeats.  Z@P, who marked the 28th release of the label, is recognized worldwide as a central figure in Uruguay’s electro/techno scene, along with the likes of Nicolas Lutz and DJ Koolt, and a resident of South America’s leading underground club/label Phonotheque.  In recent years, apart from〈Phonotheque〉he’s been featured on a number of labels, such as〈Melliflow〉and Binh’s label〈Time Passages〉, he has been receiving offers from around the world.  Currently based in Berlin, Z@P has shared the stage with dj masda on numerous occasions in Germany and in Uruguay.  His precise beat programming of modern sounds filled with impactful bleepy phrases and synth lines gives his productions, as well as his DJ sets, a unique bounce.  Last year’s Boiler Room gig in Barcelona is a prime example of his perfection of the genre, displaying various progressions while skillfully keeping a steady groove.  Since last year, the last time dj masda returned to Japan, there has been an undeniable surge of electro/breakbeats in the local scene, a movement among DJs and listeners of Japan for its superior sounds that took dj masda’s unfathomable imagination into shape.  The cutting-edge sounds of the two, having deep hypnotism and spiritual funkness in common, will blossom into a three-dimensional music experience of the unknown in Studio X.
ALIEN FAMILY’s thoroughness in the all-round curation can be seen in Contact floor that features Yoshinori Hayashi, a figure who’s exquisitely compatible with this party, and the expert Tommy, a buyer for TECHNIQUE.  In addition, Little Dead Girl, whose sound has been deepening into the psychedelic realms in recent years, and the obscure yet warm sounds of electronics by Akie adds to the lineup for the ideal picture of ALIEN FAMILY.
This will be dj masda and ALIEN FAMILY’s final gig at Contact.  dj masda, who has continued to provide the audience with a new experience every time, has once again cooked up something special for this superb party.
