The local Boys
When you are freshly arrived in Japan or if you are not to use to go out to see some gigs, it can be difficult to pin down witch of the Japanese artists are worthy to see. Of course, if they are scheduled in Fuji Rock, they are probably quite established artists already so any of them can be interesting. But if you are fan of electronic music and you are ready for some local discovery after you finished to swing your feet at Underworld and Primal Scream, here are my personal recommendations with video…
Dex Pistols
Those kids are at the coolest Tokyo underground parties. I have seen them few times and their tight mash-up are fresh and hot at the same time. See for yourself on that video the last time they stopped at the Red Marquee…
Ryukyu Disko
I have seen many time the performances of the two brothers from Okinawa. Their sets are always excellent with cool visuals and funky beats.
Denki Groove
They are from the old school of techno music in Japan. Pushing rhythms since the end of the 80’s with influence from YMO and Kraftwerk, they are solid performers.
