Sadar Bahar and Antal headlines together for the first time at a club gig in Japan

25 years ago, a small record shop opened in Amsterdam.  Paying homage to the roots of House, Rush Hour worked its way up to one of the world’s top labels with their underground and innovative curations.  For this installment, with under 1 month left to go until the closing of Contact, the founder of the world-leading label Antal and Chicago giant Sadar Bahar will be headlining together for the first time for a club gig in Japan.  Sadar Bahar makes his long-awaited appearance for the first time in over 2 years.  The legendary House DJ has influenced the likes of Theo Parrish, Floating Points, Dego, and continues to turn new pages in the history of the golden era that the legends Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles contributed to.  The top-class sets by Antal, who closed for Rainbow Disco Club 2022, are extensive in depth, intelligent and courageous.  The two have been affiliates since the early days of the label, and that synergy will reflect onto the dance floor with deep modern sounds.  From the local scene, we have a live set by Shinichiro Yokota, and a DJ set by Kikiorix adding their twist to the label color.
Contact floor features sessions by sauce81 and KASHIF, Sam Fitzgerald B2B Ryosuke Fukunaga, a B2B disco set by Souta Raw and Takehiko Kitahara, and M.O.E to ensure house/disco fans with all they need.  The 3rd installment of Rush Hour Night, since Daikanyama AIR, has made it just in time before Contact’s closing.  Studio X will definitely be filled with joy and respect for music.
