ARTIST PROFILE

MYSTICS
(Marcus Henriksson x Kuniyuki Takahashi x J.A.K.A.M.)

The unit Mystics consists of Marcus Henriksson x J.A.K.A.M. x Kuniyuki. Marcus, who says that he was greatly influenced by his musical activities in Japan, both mentally and musically, came across J.A.K.A.M.'s vinyl on the recommendation of a friend. Marcus became a big fan of J.A.K.A.M. and offered to collaborate with him on a song, which was the beginning of the project. In 2011, mule released an album under the name of Koss x Henriksson x Mullaert, and Kuniyuki, with whom they have been deepening their friendship through many sessions, was added as a member. The album will be completed in 2021 after the first live performance in Tokyo in January 2020. I hope you will enjoy the fusion of the three different personalities.


CHIDA
Revered after more than 20 years as one of the most respected DJs in Tokyo, Chida is front and centre in the exciting new wave of House and Techno DJs who are now finding fame around the world.

Learning his craft playing alongside legends like Masters at Work, and at Strictly Rhythm Label Parties in Tokyo in the 90’s, Chida is famed in his home country for his marathon sets which have been known to last well in excess of 12 hours.
Since 2009 Chida has been running his label “Ene”, one of the most respected underground imprints amongst true house music aficionados, boasting a list of contributors including Prins Thomas, Eddie C, Man Power, Tiago, Lord of The Isles and homegrown Japanese talent such as PSYCHOGEM x Cro-Magnon, The Backwoods, Cos/Mes, Sly Mongoose & J.A.K.A.M. …
Finally, after so much anticipation following his much sought after debut 12”, Danca, on ESP Institute, Chida is finally about to release more music, with originals and remixes due on both his own label, and several others.
Respected and even, on occasion, name-dropped by such amazing DJs as Eric “Dr Dunks” Duncan, Idjut Boys, Prins Thomas, Justin Vandervolgan, Andrew Weatherall , Soft Rocks, Discodromo and a whole load more, Chida is truly a DJ’s DJ.
In this modern time where music production all to often takes precedence over true DJing craftsmanship, Chida remains that rarest of phenomena, a performer who has managed to carve out a global DJIng schedule purely from the merits of his sheer skill behind the decks.

Guest Musicians


KENJI IKEGAMI

Since 2004, he has been playing shakuhachi as his life's work, using the traditional shakuhachi (classical music) that has been handed down from generation to generation throughout Japan. Since then, he has been producing sound sources, providing sound sources to track makers, and performing with primitive techniques such as improvisation and drone music. After 8 years of training, he launched "Ikegami Meji-nai Shakuhachi" in 2018. The Ikegami name, which focuses on the sound of nature, produces dense and organic overtones, and is highly valued by classical music performers. Currently, he has started a project to build a bamboo forest from scratch and is expanding the scope of sound creation through nature.


Kyoko Oikawa 及川景子

Arab-Oriental violinist. She has been searching for the origin of music, the music of the soul, and has been fascinated by the musical techniques of the Middle East. She studied classical violin under Yoko Oka. She has studied Arab violin technique and classical Arab music theory with Beshir Selmi in Tunisia, Abd Dagher and Saad Muhammad Hasan in Egypt. In addition to performing Arab and Middle Eastern music and collaborating with oriental dance and music throughout Japan, she has also presented the possibilities of expressing oriental music and the violin through CD commentaries, lectures, and collaborations with DJs and human beat boxers. In recent years, she has traveled to Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and France every year to study and perform.
