Republic Vol. 8

Brought to you by the people behind the annual Japanese Motion Graphic Creators directory, the Republic parties serve as a meeting point for musicians and visual artists, with bands and DJs performing against a retina-searing backdrop of projections and screen images. The latest boasts what might be the best lineup to date, with appearances from tape deck wranglers Open Reel Ensemble, electro rockers Lama, tabla maestro U-Zhaan, rap duo Kakato (pairing Tamaki Roy and Chinza Dopeness) and many others, abetted by an equally diverse selection of VJs.
