Artist information

▶︎ B1F： LIVE MUSIC ◀︎

◾️ xiexie◾️

Formed in 2020, Tokyo-based indie/psychedelic pop band xiexie brings together four
seasoned musicians from remarkably diverse musical backgrounds: Meari (Vo/Gt), Yamato Kouda (Gt), Teruyuki Hiraki (Ba), and Kouichi Hida (Dr). Their music blends overseas indie-pop, dream-pop, and psychedelic influences with unique Japanese lyrics and melodies. Reminiscent of contemporary icons like Alvvays, Faye Webster, and Jay Som, xiexie stands out with a distinctly heavier Asian indie music flair.

Following the critical success of their 2024 debut album wellwell—which garnered acclaim
from international music outlets like NME, It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine, KEXP, Beehype, and SUN13—and a successful 9-date headline tour across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China, the band is ready to expand their horizons. Having already graced legendary stages like FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL, Vagabond Festival, and the Chengdu International Youth Music Festival, xiexie is riding high on the momentum of their 3rd EP, zzz, released at the end of last year, as they embark on a 6-city Southeast Asia Tour across 3 countries.

◾️ Nibi◾️

Nibi is an electronic music unit formed by vocalist Norie Takahashi and composer Tomoya Omura.

The two artists, who had been building their careers as a singer-songwriter and a film composer respectively, began collaborating during the pandemic and officially formed the project in 2020.

Rooted in club music, Nibi creates electronic soundscapes built through a genre-crossing, experimental approach. Their music blends meticulously constructed production with Takahashi’s vocals—both transparent and powerful—and introspective lyrics, exploring emotional fluctuations and the depths of the inner self while shaping a distinct sonic world.

After passing the live audition “RINGOOO A GO-GO,” they performed at Ringo Music Festival 2025 in September.

Their immersive live performances—where introspective lyrics meet sounds that sink deep into the body—have been gaining recognition not only within the music scene but also in art spaces such as galleries in Tokyo.

◾️ The Rolling Papers◾️

Chill (Gt. Vo.), GS (Ba.), Sasakichi (Gt.), Kadonosono(Vln.), Roger (Dr.)

Can't Rolling Back Time and Paper Again.

The Rolling Papers emerged from a chance encounter at a Shimokitazawa pub, where drinking glasses transformed into instruments and sparked the birth of something magical. The band crafts a unique sonic experience that transcends the ordinary. Their music takes listeners on a journey beyond the everyday, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that captivates audiences at every performance.

▶︎ ROOFTOP： DJ LOUNGE ◀︎

◾️ Gilles de la Mare◾️

Gilles de la Mare developed a passion for Industrial and Electronic Body Music in the early 1990s, before becoming deeply captivated by the trance music of the decade. This early influence continues to shape his musical identity today, with uplifting trance, progressive trance, and progressive house at the heart of his DJ style.

Every day, he searches for hidden musical gems from around the world, constantly discovering and sharing incredible tracks.

Having been an active presence at a wide range of events, his performances create a joyful atmosphere for music enthusiasts, inviting them to dance freely and lose themselves in the rhythm.

◾️ Kotatsu◾️

Kotatsu is a French techno and house DJ based in Tokyo. Her eclectic musical curation fuses world sounds collected from her travels, organic textures inspired by nature and groovy and hypnotic beats rooted in her love for rock music. She is currently resident of Hven in Nakameguro.

◾️ Conures◾️

At 23, Conures returned to Japan from the UK. After that, he was selected as a resident DJ for the legendary epic trance party Sound Collection. At a time when artists like Armin Van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, and Ferry Corsten (System F) were still relatively unknown in Japan, he brought them to the country for the first time, making a major contribution to the club scene.

He later paused his activities for a while, but sending a demo to the Japanese label Galaxy Recz became the turning point that led to the release of his first original track. The track was highly praised by progressive house legend Hernan Cattaneo, and in 2011 it was included in the compilation CD of the long‑running UK event Renaissance. Furthermore, in February 2017, his original track as Conures was featured on Hernan Cattaneo – Balance Presents Sudbeat, released by the prestigious Australian label Balance Music.

He also explores the possibilities of dance music within the doujin community. At the twice‑a‑year indie event M3, he releases the compilation CD Introduction of Japanese House, featuring domestic artists, and he regularly organizes related events as well.
