Watch it.

You are gonna love this.

Primula

An angler.

His music represents full of retrospective nostalgia among non-interventional selfishness in some part. 

As putting a back-lashed fishing reel into translucent trash bag….

His music is said "to be wished to listen again at nice summer" and like "an adolescent water balloon is thrown".

By his nostalgic and wierd sounds, SI BEGG, one of the reading artist in UK's music scene who is a wierd techno dubstep musician, is remixed Primula's music. He unashamedly revealed his heart beating funkness through "Jetlag And Tinnitus Reworks 5".

MINGUSS the band led by Mami Konishi, influenced by the minimalistic music of Manuel Göttsching, creates incredible soundscapes, which will bring the listeners into new hypnotic dimensions. Pulsing beats, wonderful lyrics and the incredible voice of Mami Konishi will be the key features for a unique sound experience.

Julia Shortreed

Singer song / Writer, Canadian born father and Japanese mother. At 16,afterlistening to ‘Stand by Me’ by Ben E King, started singing and composing original songs. Original compositions reflect a unique view of the world with both a nostalgic melody and a sort floating voice. Sang on the soundtrack for the Japanese movie, ‘Umimachi Diary’ released in June,2015. Sang background vocal in ‘Soft in One’ for Rohto Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd. and ‘Odakyu Electric Railway’ commercial now running on Japanese TV. Will expand her professional carrier by working both domestically and overseas.

Speak No Evil

Consisting of Akira Tatsumi (sax player/former member of disbanded ska band DETERMINATIONS), TANCO (leader/bassist of HOME GROWN, the reggae band), Motoharu (saxman of SOIL & "PIMP" SESSIONS, the explosive jazz band) and 3 others, the band of highly regarded 6 artists hereby drops its 1st album. Incorporating ska and reggae-based renditions with distinguished jazz flavor, the rich and lavishly enhanced band-feel is clearly prominent in the cover tunes, such as “Speak No Evil” (the famous number by Wayne Shorter which they named themselves after,) or “I Shot The Sherriff”. Including the very successful original track “Lucky Dragon 5”, each member’s abundant experience distinctly portrays their brilliantly varied performance here.

SAY YES DOG

Borders mean nothing to Say Yes Dog. With two members from Germany and one from Luxembourg, it was only natural for this three-piece to form their band in the Dutch city of The Hague. There they're known as the worst best kept secret in years; with just one released EP, the band was invited by Junip to support them on a European tour through seven countries. They also played shows in London, Berlin and at the Reeperbahn Festival. With their wobbly basslines, dry synths and remarkable vocals they're in the same league as The Whitest Boy Alive.
