DJ Scotch Egg
The notorious Dj Scotch Egg, who's about to release his DRUMIZE album on Load Records will spearhead the invasion with his unique gameboy madness.
Joining him will be Ove-Naxx, also playing live. His fucked up breakcore jungle set is unforgetable to those who have seen him before.
Headbanging never looked so good! Maruosa will be thrashing his long black hair at you as well as his demented grindcore metal breakcore sounds.

And last but definetly not least, and playing outside Japan for the first time, Bogulta, insane Osaka new wave party punk,.., (maybe the dayglow Osaka version of Lightning Bolt..??)

Jamie Lidell - New Album 'JIM' and touring with full band
February 18, 2008
Jamie Lidell is back in 2008 with a stunning album entitled JIM out April 28th. The UK tour is announced and selling like hot chesnuts on a snowy day. Koko is almost sold out! We are now looking at very select festival stages for Jamie + band to appear on through the summer.
The album was written over the last year with help from long time collaborators Mocky & Gonzales and recorded in LA with producer wizard Justin Stanley (who has worked with many including Beck and Prince). This album sees Jamie hit the heights of songwriting and vocal perfection that he has been working towards for many years.
Jamie says of JIM:
“The most important thing was the vocal, to capture the balance of me delivering the songs with full gusto, and at the same time retaining the grain and the grit.”
Jim will switch you on in the morning, move you on the dance-floor and take you down in the small hours. It’s a bold, promiscuously diverse album, mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping early R & B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch of ‘hillbilly funk’. “I haven’t tried to hide the influences,” he says “This is the music I love.” But, listen closely and you can hear Jamie moving in new directions, creating a sound and style that is entirely his own.
Check the mini warm up studio jam with Jamie & band ::
Influenced by Sci-fi books & films, 80s and 90s electro music with digtial mediums. Doshy became heavily inspired by creating art in a digital-futuristic way, and became serious in developing future electronic music.
Doshy is currently leading the way in Berlin post-dubstep scene; Dubstep and electronic producers inspired by the city's vibrant clubscene, pushing sounds beyond the cities notorious minimal obsession. Hailing from friendly South Bavaria (Augsburg), where he produced some breakcore for PeaceOFF and wonky techno for Bombtrap. Doshy moved to Berlin, and became heavily inspired by the young new artists' digital, forward thinking productions.
With strong influences from the likes of Kode 9, Flying lotus, Ikonika, Joker, Rustie and Zomby. Doshy locked into his studio all winter 2008 with his trusty Korg MS10, and wired old arp-synth plugins to create his own unique take on the contemporary Dubstep movement.
With releases on labels such as Tiger Bass, Destpub, Planet Mu and Robox Neotech. Doshy has received appreciation from the likes of Starkey, Jamie Vex'd, Stagga, Viral Radio, Chrome Kids, Slugabed and many others.
Doshy is also a part of the Sirius collective, responsible for Berlin´s key future urban music scene.
