Raster-Noton's boss whips Contact into an electronic-driven frenzy

Having sent the Japanese audiences into a frenzy of excitement with his crafted razor-sharp electronic live performance in the last two decade, Alva Noto will make his long-awaited debut at Contact with a special DJ set. Known as a long-time collaborative partnership with Ryuichi Sakamoto, recent years saw the German producer stay at the forefront with their soundtrack for the Revenant nominated for a Golden Globe award. For Japan, this is going to be a rare chance to experience his DJ set that only heightens a sheer amount of expectation. The only way to experience it firsthand is indeed come down to the dance floor.

Rightly stepping up for this special night is Raster Noton’s Japanese affiliate Kyoka, who will be bringing the audience up to date with her latest live performance. Alongside the German-Japan electronic axis is Iori, whose Cold Radiance ambient album and a handful of EPs proved his extensive expressive craftsmanship, providing must-see moments. The Contact floor will welcome Sapphire Slows. Her visceral selections, which make a marked contrast to her dreamy productions for Nous and Big Love Records, will create an inspiring space.
