This Japanese package could not be better. The extravagant music of WORM favorite Oorutaichi is both experimental as resolutely pop. Yuichi's absurdist variety show is a fusion of cabaret, chanson, toothache-sweet easy tune and video. Shabushabu performs a spicy mix of frivolous electronics, quirky hip hop, J-pop and traditional Japanese music. Shabushabu is sidekicked by Maho Thai Disco who got people dancing in the WORM.bar before and was the mini-hit of the zxzw / incubate fest 2008.OORUTAICHI 
Oorutaichi makes drifter music, strung together with expert percussion and electric rays, flowing on a river of magical chants, inspired loops and choruses. It is exalted and resolutely pop. Onstage, Oorutaichi is not chained to his machines but sings with them in a deluge of extravagance and colour. His first album "Yori Yoyo" (2003) was released to much acclaim by Yamatsuka Eye (Boredoms), Juana Molina and others.

Kishino Yuichi is no stranger in Rotterdam. The people that witnessed Kishino's loveable Dadaist universe in May 2008 will smile approvingly upon hearing about his return. His ‘La veuve moustache’ show is an highly entertaining collection of cabaret, song, toothache-sweet easy-tune and video. The video images – fragments from Japanese movies – are closely related to Yuichi’s texts and form a theatrical backdrop for his performance. Dressed as a widow, Yuichi and his moustache are provided musical support by pianist Yoko Miura.

With an album title as ‘All in one Pot’, one might have certain expectations: performer Shabushabu produces obstinate and frivolous sounds. A spicy mix of electronica, hiphop, J-pop and traditional Japanese music. Shabushabu from Kyoto plays for sure in the same league as underground heroes such as Ove-naxx and Oorutaichi (with whom Shabushabu collaborates under the name ‘Obakejaa’).

“She was shocked by THAIDISCO in 2002 tropical summer, they really express Asian good-naturedly chaotic sound well in their music, since then she started to spin Thailand original techno music as MAHO+THAIDISCO.Gradually, she wanted to express her own sounds in her inside. Now instead of being limited to existing THAIDISCO sounds, she creates her own techno sound ,named"ZUNPPA TECHNO", (=ZUNPPA taken from, ?zunzun pappa?one of the words when Japanese people express the rhythm)-Thus, she has progressed through many stages, you can?t miss her ever-lasting energisch sounds!!!!!”
