The rare encounter of REBEL FAMILIA, 釈迦坊主 (Shaka Bose), and Taigen Kawabe

GOTH-TRAD, the pioneer of dubstep, appears for the December edition of the resident series Trilogies.  In 2005, dubstep was on the rise and already in the midst of globalizing the scene.  GOTH-TRAD was the first to bring the same intense vibe from its birthplace to Japan.
His strong inquisitive mind, focused on high quality production of music rather than as a selector, is the reason why he is called one of the world’s best.  The three-dimensional music born from superior hearing, astounding musicology, and his massive imagination with great sound intensity continues to increase the number of fanatics.
With the dubstep scene said to have passed its heyday, GOTH-TRAD’s productions transcend the genre of dubstep while keeping its roots with even more radiance, creating a new branch of post-dubstep.
A trilogy by the originator who built this scene with deep-rooted popularity in Japan.

釈迦坊主 and III Japonia aka Taigen Kawabe, artists sweeping the current Hip Hop/Electronic scene, meet GOTH-TRAD / REBEL FAMILIA.  For the 2nd week in the series, we feature 4 live showcases that bridge generations and genres.
REBEL FAMILIA is a project by GOTH-TRAD and bassist 秋本“HEAVY”武士 (Takeshi Akimoto).  Their rebel music, with strong roots in Reggae/Dub, feeds the adventurer’s desire to face music head-on and seek more.  The release of that energy is maximized in live performances, leaving the audience with profound and legendary moments.  REBEL FAMILIA has shared the stage with top-class artists such as THA BLUE HERB, Shing02, DJ BAKU, ゆらゆら帝国 (Yura Yura Teikoku), SUGIZO, and BOOM BOOM SATELLITES.  The co-headlining of 釈迦坊主, creating a mirage by his deep hallucinating Trap music, and Ill Japonia, the frontman of Bo Ningen, may be of something that’s beyond everyone’s expectations.  In addition, Prettybwoy, Frankie $, and Hibi Bliss will provide UK sounds such as Grime and Garage, ensuring a thrilling lineup in Studio X.
The lineup in the Contact floor for this day can be picked up as a party on its own.  Bass/Broken Beats/Techno experts PortaL, ZukaRoHi, and Akey will be joined by GS Projek, Aki Dolanikov, K8, TaNi, Genick and others who perform almost every week at Drum & Bass/Garage/Bass parties.
Foyer will be navigated by HYBRID BASS FREQ crew from Nagoya, one of the forefronts in the country’s Bass Music scene with fans across the nation known for their aggressive stance in top-notch quality and abundance in resources.
The 2nd episode of Trilogies GOTH-TRAD will be a gathering of various styles creating a musical utopia of the unknown.
