Antigen continues their hot streak this year as they celebrate their 6th Anniversary with a red-hot lineup over at SYSTEM featuring some of Japan’s most gnarly and visceral acts in the club world including VMO aka Violent Magic Orchestra - the six-piece extreme black metal gabber group from Osaka - bringing with their unholy fusion of black metal, techno, and visual art - ‘an absolutely new and overwhelming experience…a supercharged live show that combines relentless strobe effects with brain-melting digital displays, topped off with corpse paint make-up and an “energetic overworking of the body”.’ The fun continues with other special guests - Osaka-raised DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, “known for his penchant for baffling blends - including soul-affirming trance, haunting house riffs, blithe trap, raucous gabber, and bolshy rave bangers’ - and his shirtless, sweat-slicked, and ripped bode; and cult favorite POiSON GiRL FRiEND, known for her house and breakbeat-infused pop and R&B sound and her work in group Kiss-o-Matic. Hat tip to Antigen for standing out amongst the sterile promoters as of late.
