◾️ Kuro Deko

Kuro Deko is a Tokyo-based New Wave/Post-Punk band. Originally a solo project by Jesus Salinas (Mexico), it evolved into a duo with Elliot Cormack (England), who introduced dynamic guitar lines and deep, melodic vocals that seamlessly complemented the compositions. For live performances, Jesus plays bass and keyboards, Elliot handles lead vocals and guitar, and they are joined by Haku (China) on keyboards and Yuki (Japan) on drums.

The band has collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer Jay de la Cueva and had their work mixed by acclaimed musician Nick Zinner.

Their music blends 1980s synth textures with sharp post-punk edges, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of its members.

◾️ Mike Turpin

Tokyo Based producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer songwriter, Mike Turpin, first started writing songs in his bedroom back in his junior high school days. Raised in New Jersey, USA, he spent most of his days teaching himself multiple instruments including guitar, drums and piano while also honing his skills as a music producer. In 2017, he decided to drop everything and move to Tokyo to pursue his goals of becoming an artist.

He has spent the last few years uncovering and discovering his sound. Blurring the lines between genre and emotion. Mike Turpin is pushing the boundaries with his immersive, emotionally resonant and thought provoking soundscapes.

Drawing inspiration from retro seventies and eighties influences, he often incorporates retro sounds with sounds of the new. Known for his evocative lyrics and unique production style, he wants his tracks to feel like experiences that linger, meant to be felt as much as heard.

◾️ Luke Hobbs (DJ)
You’re compelled to continue swinging your body to the tempo as DJ Luke Hobbs emerges from the smoky backdrop gifting the masses with one final set. If you were to visually capture this organic sound on canvas, you’d stand for a moment upon the piece and claim it as avant-garde. Hobbs has an immaculate way of capturing music at its very core, and the result is almost an animalistic blend of big disco, rock, and accidental tribal. The urge to dance is transfixing, and you surrender yourself.
