Dubspot & Bassic present Together Japan with Goth Trad, XI, Dev/Null, and Richard Devine
9:00pm - 2:00am @ Good Life (28 Kingston St.)
$7 before 11pm / $10 after
A unique producer with a unique style, Goth-Trad (of Rebel Familia) has emerged from the Japanese electronic scene in the last few years as one of the most arresting artists from his generation. Freely playing samplers, keyboards and even self-made instruments, ‘The Sound Originator’ Goth-Trad creates remarkable dance music with an abstract approach. Toronto’s XI has quickly become a rising star in the city’s electronic music scene. His eclectic taste and approach to bass-driven beats has landed him on the bill with Prodigy LIVE and Pendulum LIVE, as well as headlining slots across Canada & the USA. In terms of production, XI already has a number of releases under his belt on both the solo and collaborative tip including work with Dub War’s Juakali, fellow Canadian producer DZ and tracks under the Loetech moniker alongside friend and Toronto producer Bombaman, to name a few.
