Real Grooves, which pursued the core of electronic music and held over 50 events in major night spot such as Yellow, UNIT, eleven, ageHa, and AIR over nine years from 2003 to 2011, presenting a new way of partying in Tokyo, is finally having its long-awaited reunion
Originating from the “Rotation Fridays”, party in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Real Grooves was created when promoter Josh Child moved to Tokyo and resident artist Mike Shannon based himself in Berlin, Germany. This led to the connection between Tokyo and Berlin through cutting-edge sounds, forming a vibrant community.
Real Grooves’ resident DJs, based in Tokyo, Mike Shannon and Josh Child, who have guided the connections between Japan and numerous artists such as Mathew Jonson, Deadbeat, The Mole, and Pier Bucci, will be reuniting. The night is sure to be one in which comrades, bound by strong ties even after many years, gather across time and borders, creating a new and expansive force.
