The first night of the last anniversary

The much anticipated day 1 of Contact’s final anniversary will not go down without creating a frenzy or some sort of unexpected happenings to make it an exciting night.
From the raging black waves of EL NINO to the legendary BLACK TERROR with FUTURE TERROR, BLACK SMOKERS have shook Tokyo on numerous evenings.  The thrilling music that let’s you step into a space never experienced before, and the emotion brought on by the sonic pressure that pushes deep into your chest has supported the transcendence and the ideals of Contact.  THA BLUE HERB’s O.N.O, who released his album「Duskrom」in Februrary, has also left many memorable nights that struck the hearts of listeners.  His latest release is the ultimate electronic music that brings beats to life within the grey sound image, and is definitely a figure not to be missed on this occasion.  Dos Monos, a twisted new breed in the hip hop scene consisting of 3 MCs over warped and abstract beats, and Rebel Familia, with exquisite sounds by GOTH-TRAD and bassist 秋本 “HEAVY” 武士 (Takeshi Akimoto), will also take the stage.  DJ QUIETSTORM, the president of the underground who has had many fascinating sessions with top class acts for his party LIVING ROOM held at Contact, and FELINE, who’s tamed the depths and madness with an incomparable leftfield approach, have signed on as DJs to give birth to a black hole by the convergence of avant-garde hip hop and bass/beat music.
Contact floor has gathered experts in event production.  Atsushi Maeda, founder of Japan’s leading open-air event “rural”, the layering of subdivided electronic music by Broad’s organizer Tatsuoki, ZUNDOKO DISCO’s BOW and SISINOBU, voltex organizer Akey, and the guardian of the underground Mari Sakurai, all leaders of the underground scene who have made their marks at Contact have lineup up.  Foyer floor features Japan’s bass/jungle scene’s top acts 100mado and Frankie $, music by Romy Mats, the organizer of the contemporary electronic music party 解体新書 (Kaitai-Shinsho), synergism of DJ Moro and KΣITO’s unit GQOMZILLA, and the cross-border sound journey by suimin.  The elites of various fields heat things up more than ever before with their beats and electronics for the final anniversary.  In addition, visual artist rokapenis, VJ for〈BLACK SMOKER RECORDS〉and〈Boris〉, will be designing both floors with visuals, as well as Camel and LOYALTY FLOWERS, who’s been supporting 解体新書 (Kaitai-Shinsho), opening the doors to the unreal with their visual approach.
Over the course of 6 years, Contact has aimed to provide a creative space of the highest quality, and bears fruit for the final anniversary.  Come for new encounters, to reunite, and to simply enjoy the music.
