The Jewel School and Radio Active 89FM proudly present, for the first time in New Zealand, acclaimed Japanese DJ, musician and producer Grooveman Spot.
On a break from recording his second album, Grooveman Spot hits Aotearoa on a rare international sojourn representing influential Tokyo record store/label/movement Jazzy Sport. Renowned internationally as a solo producer and in Japan as beatmaker for homegrown hip-hop duo ENBULL, Grooveman Spot is set to rock Welly with his eclectic Far Eastern blend of hip-hop, soul, disco and house. This is a one-off international club event, not to be missed.
Joining Grooveman Spot on tour will be Kenji Sakajiri from Osaka-based label Wonderful Noise, the Japanese home of New Zealand artists Electric Wire Hustle and Julien Dyne. Local support comes from committed champions of cutting edge Japanese club music - Cian from The Turnaround club night and Conch record store in Auckland, and Radio Active 89FM's The Jewel School and Friday Night Flava DJ crews.
Come get down with the new sound of young Japan - Jazzy Sport and Wonderful Noise!
