Style: They themselves call it a “stadium rave attack”
Debut album: “We Just Are” (Gung-Ho Recordings, 2008)
Share their label, Gung-Ho Recordings, with: Underworld, Aphex Twin, Cinematic Orchestra.
Facts: The three-piece DJ unit creates progressive big-beat, multi-textural dance epics which rock clubs. The Japanese Popstars remixed Beyonce as well as Ting Tings and besides their own massive tracks they have original chill out pieces too. Decky Hedrock has a great love for Japanese films and comic books so they called themselves “The Japanese Rockstars”, regarding the name slightly ironic as back then they could not be further away from Japan and superstardom. So far, they have toured Japan and got their own brand of Nike trainers, called JAPSTARS01.
At springnine, The Japanese Popstars will play a DJ set and perform a live gig.
