Triangle

A strong lineup of up-and-coming, mainly Tokyo-based artists is the main attraction at this inaugural edition of Triangle, a new party that's aiming to highlight the very best of Japan's young musical talent. Kawasaki's own beatmaker, MC and Flashbacks member JJJ will be on hand to provide the hip hop rhythm along with rap duo Chelmico, who you might have seen at Shibuya's Shibukaru Festival over the past few years. Shinjuku's own beat pioneer Budamunk, whose 2015 disc The Corner was praised as symbolic of the new, more globally oriented stream of Japanese hip hop, will also be along for the ride, as will DJ Mayurashka, singer-songwriter Taichi Mukai and the boys from Yahyel, who are set to spin a DJ set this time.
