◾️ Robert Taira Wilson Band ◾️
The Robert Taira Wilson Band is an international group of musicians based in Tokyo, Japan. Formed in 2024, their music is inspired by acts like Paul Simon, Jeff Buckley, Vampire Weekend and King Crimson. All of which have helped cultivate a sound which incorporates folk, alternative-pop, and hard rock.
Calm and intimate sections will soothe your soul, only for you to be thrown into a maelstrom of chaos and power moments later.
Lyrics speak of the unresolved nature of the human experience and the contradictory state of the human mind. Through their lens, you encounter a complex take on love, loss, and the beauty of life.
「Feel The Rain」is their brand new debut album, consisting of 10 new songs - Out Now to stream and download on all platforms.

◾️ TARO KAMIYA・神谷タロー (DJ) ◾️
Born and raised in the nostalgic neighborhoods of Tokyo’s shitamachi district, Yanesen, this DJ found their rhythm early on, drawn to the irresistible pull of offbeat grooves from their teenage years.
Their sets are a vibrant journey—genre-defying and horn-heavy—spinning everything from soulful brass-infused beats to eclectic floor-shakers, always with a touch of curiosity and flair.
A regular DJ for ESCAPADE!, the genre-blending party series by renowned musician Takehiko Nakatsuka and Delicatessen Recordings, they continue to bring fresh flavor to Tokyo’s underground soundscape.
