Artist Information:

Nautilus

Nautilus is a trio centered around drummer Toshiyuki Sasaki, formed in 2014 along with its Bassist Shigeki Umezawa and Keyboardist Daisuke Takeuchi. Their distinctive style, which can be summarized as the modern rare groove, embodies a mixture of jazz, funk, disco music, soul, and even hip hop. The conception of Nautilus is drawn not only from the composition “Nautilus” written by Bob James, but also from an American submarine that actually existed, thus resembling their contemporary style that carries on the rare groove music of the 70s in an abyssal imagery. Sasaki’s versatile, yet solid drumming combined with Umezawa’s full-bodied, powerful bass and Takeuchi’s classically-trained prowess produces an exceptional sound unique all on its own. Three albums were already released in Japan. Besides, In 2017 album called “Nautiloid Quest” was released by agogo records in Germany.Then they became known worldwide.

Hassy & the Arabiannighters

Some of the most amazing cultures and music from around the world are still unknown in Japan. Integrating familiar sounds with traditional instruments from the Middle East and India, Hassy & the Arabiannighters hope to discover new sounds and expand new possibilities. This approach can only be taken because the band members all have a rick background in music from various cultures. They hope to create music that respects these different cultures but also embraces a more free-spirited and modern sense of sound. In this world where there seems to be no end to fighting, music is one of the few forces that unites people regardless of national or religious boundaries. Hassy & the Arabiannighters strive to become a successful band not only in Japan but around the world.

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.
