After a few years absence, CHOOSE is very excited to announce the return of one our most loved repeat guests to Hakuba. We welcome back NESS to take us into Summer with his flavour of deep driving hypnotic space techno.

One half of "The God's Planet" (with Claudio PRC), Ness began his electronic music journey in the late 90's. With a background in sound engineering and many years of research and fine-tuning, he gradually developed a distinct personal style with a strong focus on atmosphere combined with hypnotic vibes. In 2007 he opened his own record store in his hometown in Sardinia (Italy) and 2 years later he founded his first label - Mono Records.

CHOOSE continues its mandate with a unique opportunity to experience techno artists of this calibre up close and personal in the intimate space of Concrete.

NESS BIOGRAPHY

NESS(Andrea Deplano)は90年代後半からエレクトロニックミュージックに興味を抱き、その数年後にはトランスやエクスペリメンタルなどの音楽を吸収しDJとしてアウトプットする活動を本格化。彼の音楽への興味や好奇心は止まらずオーディオエンジニアとしての側面も芽生え、NESS特有のヒプノティックなリズムを伴ったアトモスフェリックなトラック制作へとフォーカスしていくこととなった。

2007年レコードショップをホームであるイタリアのサルディーニャにオープン、2008年にMono Recordsより処女作をリリース。同レーベルからのリリースを重ねたのちPrologue,Synewave,Sonata,Varianzなどのレーベルからも作品を発表。Claudio PRCとともに、The Gods Planetとしてリリースをスタートしたのは2010年。以降ソロのみならずTGP名義としてもヨーロッパを中心にハンガリーのOzora Festivalや、スペインのTEST FESTIVALへの出演、台湾から良質なPodcastを配信しているsmokemachineへのミックス提供など、ワールドワイドに活動を展開している。

CHOOSE returns for a special one-off event this week with the phenomenal NASTIA joining our lineup of the world's finest techno in Hakuba. With a true career as DJ rather than producer, the Ukrainian has built a following since the early 2000's gaining respect and reputation across genres. She has been influential as promoter, Strichka festival organser, label head of Propaganda and Nechto Records and activism beyond the musical realm with her True Talk projects. Nastia will perform a DnB set the preceding night (4th May) at Samurai in Hakuba's Echoland, but CHOOSE continues its mandate with a unique opportunity to experience techno artists of this calibre up close and personal in the intimate space of Concrete.

CHOOSE wraps up its weekly winter schedule with a bang in the form of Room Trax founder ANGIOMA and his fusion of hypnotic structures with driving, percussive techno.

This week we choose Tianjin-bion Tokyo resident DANDAN on our weekly journey through cutting edge techno from around the world.

DANDAN commands the dance floor with a high-voltage blend of driving techno and irresistible groove. Her sound is a powerful, hypnotic force—crafted to move bodies and captivate minds.
Her artistic journey is as global as her touring schedule. Originally from Tianjin, China, she honed her aesthetic sensibilities studying Art & Fashion in England and France before finding her spiritual home in Japan's underground party scene. It was there that techno took hold, and DANDAN the DJ was born.
From the intimate underground clubs of Tokyo to massive stages like OZORA Festival and Texas Eclipse Festival, her dynamic sets have ignited crowds across Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, Thailand, USA and Europe. DANDAN is a rising force in the Japanese techno scene and is constantly seeking new frontiers to transform the dancefloors into her domain.

[ 日本語 ]
DANDANは、駆動感あるテクノと抗しきれないグルーヴを高電圧でブレンドし、ダンスフロアを掌握する。彼女のサウンドは強力で催眠的な力を持ち、肉体を揺さぶり、心をとらえるよう創り上げられている。
彼女のアーティストとしての旅路は、ツアースケジュール同様、グローバルな広がりを見せる。中国・天津出身のDANDANは、イギリスとフランスでアートとファッションを学び美的センスを磨いた後、精神的な拠り所を日本のアンダーグラウンド・パーティーシーンに見出した。まさにそこでテクノ音楽が彼女の心を捉え、DJ DANDANが誕生したのである。
東京の密やかなアンダーグラウンドクラブから、OZORAフェスティバルやテキサス・エクリプス・フェスティバルといった巨大ステージまで、そのダイナミックなセットは日本、韓国、香港、オーストラリア、タイ、アメリカ、ヨーロッパと世界中の観客を沸き立たせてきた。日本のテクノシーンで台頭する勢力であるDANDANは、常に新たなフロンティアを探求し、ダンスフロアを自らの領域へと変貌させ続けている。

This week's best choice is SYNISTER, the techno avatar of acclaimed psytrance artist BRAINDROP. One of India's and the genres most versatile and revered artists, he launched this project in 2013 to express his versatility in the world of contemporary techno.
The driving force behind Occultech Recordings, the Synister sound is a complex concoction. Techno that has a touch of minimal, dark, atmospheric and hypnotic with driving elements that resonate on the dancefloor.
