The Jewel School and Tiger Translate proudly present, for the first time in New Zealand, acclaimed Japanese DJ, musician and producer DJ Mitsu The Beats.
Fresh from releasing his third solo album Universal Force (PlanetGroove) in Japan, DJ Mitsu The Beats hits Aotearoa on his first visit Down Under, following in the footsteps of countryman and label mate Grooveman Spot who tore up clubs in Auckland and Wellington exactly one year ago. Having made a name for himself internationally with productions and remixes under his own name and as producer for hyped Japanese hip-hop group GAGLE, Mitsu comes correct with a special blend of deep-dug soul, jazz and funk breaks, golden era hip-hop and future beats.
Joining Mitsu for two exclusive tour dates in Auckland and Wellington will be Taro Wassupski Kesen, head of Tokyos influential record store/label/movement Jazzy Sport. Local support comes from true champions of Japanese music Cian from Aucklands Turnaround DJ collective and Conch record store, and Radio Active 89FMs The Jewel School DJ crew.
Come check the dopest Japanese DJ/producer of the past decade...
A DJ Krush for the new generation!
