Celebrating 10 years since our friendship with Mule Musiq boss Toshiya Kawasaki first began, we are honored and excited to keep this tradition alive with a night curated by Toshiya featuring some of Tokyo's finest selectors.

Toshiya's contribution to the universe music is immense. The staggering volume of music released over the last 20 years by his label Mule Musiq is hard to comprehend. Classics on classics on classics. A treasure trove of timeless, genre-defining, shimmering beauty and pure class. We could go on and wax poetic about how important and special this body of work is, but really you should just come hear the music and move your bodies. Oh, and this time he's bringing the freaky disco legend KZA along for the ride. Warming up the room we have the talented Taihei Kirioka, a recent Portland transplant from Tokyo, and secret weapon DJ... This night is not to be missed.

Known as one-half of the nu-disco/house duo “force of nature”, kza is a prominent figure in the underground disco and dance scene, recognized for obscure records, acid house and cosmic disco. His music often features deep, unhurried grooves, blending obscure vinyl samples with cosmic disco, jazz-funk, and early Chicago house influences.

The minds behind legendary Japanese imprint Mule Musiq are returning to Portland for our annual celebration of good music, and a long-running love-affair with these Japanese maestros!

Virtuoso composer, producer, and mastering engineer Kuniyuki will be performing his signature improvisational live set, along with Mule Musiq label boss Toshiya Kawasaki, with Mule Musiq family Taihei Kirioka (CMYK, Tokyo) warming things up.

2024 is wrapping up—thank you for all the love this year!

Next stop: Portland, USA. A new chapter starts with a mix of excitement, nerves, and anticipation. Ready to dive in, stay focused, and embrace the ride.

Tomorrow marks my final gig in Japan. Sharing the decks with the legendary Toshiya Kawasaki of mule musiq and my day-one crew, CMYK. This familiar visual takes its final bow.

Today marks my final day at Nike. Departing from a team where I've forged invaluable friendships, found mentors, and even met my life partner is bittersweet, yet it also heralds the excitement of new beginnings!

I'm deeply grateful to @kilscope for opening the doors to Nike, to @yamayamayama0904 for challenging me to reach new heights, and to @mie_c for her unwavering support and encouragement. And to all my incredible teammates and partners, thank you for being there every step of the way.

It's been an incredible 6 years journey! So much Love💞

今日はNikeでの最後の日。
ここで多くの大切な友人や先輩たち、そして人生の伴侶と出会った。思い出溢れるこのチームを離れるのはもちろん寂しいけれど、いまは別れの時。人生にこういう節目があるのは素敵なことだと思う。

学生の時からの縁で、Nikeへ招き入れてくれたKevinさん、時に厳しくも大きく成長させてくれたヤマケンさん、そしていつも温かく、新しいチャレンジへと踏み出す勇気をくれたMieさんに心からの感謝を伝えたいです。
そしてもちろん、長く濃密な時間を一緒に過ごし、いつも力をくれた素晴らしいチームメイトたち、プロジェクトを通して出会い、サポートしていただいたパートナーのみなさま、本当にありがとうございました。

６年間最高の旅路でした！So much love💞 taken in Nike Japan by @yessnno
