Unusual Club (Djs)
Our musical style is very broad, hence the “Unusual” name. We typically play a back-to-back set. It sometimes creates discordances since our taste and mood can be different, but we appreciate the “wave” that results. Although our musical styles range from rock, indie, reggae, asl the way to dub, funk, jazz, new wave and hip hop, the common ‘roots’ that we often revisit are mostly electronic/techno/house. We have been regular DJs at SNIFF SNIFF (now
Roarrr) and CONTROL parties. Paul is English and Sebastien is French Canadian, both based in Tokyo for about 8 years.

Ricoh Theta “Touch and Try”
Ricoh’s new camera, “Theta” is the world’s first mass-produced imaging device that encapsulates fully spherical scenes with one shot. The Theta hasn’t been released yet in Japan, but we’ll have a couple of them on hand so you can get a sneak peak at this revolutionary new device and shoot your own spherical panoramas onsite.
