Bcc:Holiday invites Ripatti to form an interactive amalgam of art and music.

An artist that has established himself through albums for electronic music powerhouse Raster-Noton under the Vladislav Delay moniker, Sasu Ripatti makes the world premiere of his Hyper Beats Bass Rap live set here at Contact. Recent years have seen him joining Sly & Robbie’s tours and dedicating himself to working behind the scenes to contribute his productions to hip-hop and reggae musicians, be it major, indie, domestic, or international. The result is a brand new set with rapping that punctuates exquisite bass-heavy off-kilter beats. Also featured is a special Tokyo Silk Screen exhibition by Californian professional skateboarder and paint artist Mark Gonzales, whose representative collection is silk-screen-printed over Japanese traditional Washi paper just for the night. The talented skateboarder has created artwork with a distinctive touch that symbolises his beguiling yet charismatic aesthetic, expressing his razor-sharp whit and deep insight. Don’t miss out this amalgam of art and music by two of the scene’s iconoclasts.
