◾️ Mike Turpin ◾️

Tokyo Based producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer songwriter, Mike Turpin, first started writing songs in his bedroom back in his junior high school days. Raised in New Jersey, USA,  he spent most of his days teaching himself multiple instruments including guitar, drums and piano while also honing his skills as a music producer. In 2017, he decided to drop everything and move to Tokyo to pursue his goals of becoming an artist.

He has spent the last few years uncovering and discovering his sound. Blurring the lines between genre and emotion. Mike Turpin is pushing the boundaries with his immersive, emotionally resonant and thought provoking soundscapes. Seamlessly blending indie electronic, alternative pop, rock and RnB, his music defies easy categorization. Drawing inspiration from retro seventies and eighties influences, he often incorporates retro sounds with sounds of the new. Known for his evocative lyrics and unique production style, he wants his tracks to feel like experiences that linger, meant to be felt as much as heard.

◾️ Petkun ◾️

Petkun is a genre-bending artist from the Netherlands, now based in Tokyo. His music blends indie, funk, and pop, with live shows full of energy and unexpected vibe shifts. He writes, records, and produces everything himself.

◾️ The Spilt Ink ◾️

“I decided to do something different. Completely different. I wanted to work on a style that I’d been thinking about for a while but never had the time. The pandemic gave me that time and I took full advantage of it. And I created “PopSick Art”. PopSick art is a juxtapose of three artforms that I love, comic book art, graffiti art and classic Hollywood George Hurrell photographs from the 1940’s.” - Johnny (The Spilt Ink)
