The scene-straddling 80KIDZ gather link-minded talents under one roof

With the Japanese duo at its helm, Mission will make a return for the 6th instalment. The recent months saw them bearing another testament to their musical breadth with a new jack swing edit for Shin Sakiura’s “Crusin” while Monkey Timers, another regular duo, continue channelling an omnivorous appetite for a variety of styles into their disco dub root. For this particular night, they will be providing a splendid array of talents that straddle electronic music and pop culture. Shinichi Osawa is a highly-acclaimed veteran producer behind Mondo Grosso and more recently the soundtrack for Mika Ninagawa’s Diner movie, where he demonstrates his razor-sharp electronic productions. Seiho just had a fruitful month in June as the Japanese interdisciplinary artist created a sun-kissed summery remix for Shy Girls’ “Hallelujah” and made an appearance at Japan Media Arts Festival. For all their advanced technique, they never appear inaccessible thanks to an acute sense to distil it with the latest trends into pop dynamism that promises to mark this first Reiwa summer as a memorable one.
