Theo Parrish、Flying Lotus、Onraが絶大な信頼をよせるプロデューサー、Byron The Aquarius待望の初来日!!

Flying Lotusの楽曲のプロデュース、Theo Parrish率いるSound Signatureレーベルからリリースした“Highlife EP”でまたたく間にその存在を世界に知らしめたキーボーディスト、Byron The Aquariusが3月8日のVENTにて初来日公演を開催！

2007年に自身の楽曲制作を始める以前はキーボーディストとして様々なジャンルのミュージシャンと活動してキャリアを持つトップ・キーボーディストでもあるByron The Aquarius。アーティストとしてのキャリアのスタートは日本でも人気のあるパリのプロデューサー、Onraとの2007年のコラボレーション作“The Big Payback”であった。それをきっかけにRush Hour、Warp (Flying Lotusとのコラボ)、HHV、Circulations、Reebok Classics A Journey into Future、Real Soon、Giant Step Recordsなどのレーベルから作品をリリースするようになった。

2015年頃にKai Alceとスタジオに入って制作した作品がTheo Parrishの手に渡り、Byronのジャズの影響を受けたハウス作品を非常に気に入ったTheoがSound Sigunatureからリリースしたのが“Highlife EP”だった。非常に高い評価を得たこの作品はまたたく間に世界中のレコードショップのトップチャートに入り、翌年にKyle HallのWild Oatsからリリースした“Gone Today Here TMRW”もスマッシュヒットを記録し、Byron The Aquariusの名前は世界のエレクトロニック・ミュージシャンのシーンにおいても要注目の存在となったのだ。

世界中の有名クラブや大型フェスにも名を連ねるようになり、忙しく世界ツアーを行うようになったByron The Aquariusの日本初公演は、ハウスラヴァーはもちろん、デトロイトフリークも、ビートシーンのヘッズも見逃せない！

Top producer lauded by the likes of Theo Parrish, Flying Lotus, and Onra - Byron the Aquarius will be making his long-await Japan debut, at VENT on March 8th!

A keys player by trade, Byron the Aquarius shot to global notoriety almost immediately with the release of his “Highlife EP”, which was released on Theo Parrish’s Signature print. Also producing one of FlyLo’s tracks probably helped get him some recognition. Now we’re very proud to have Byron make his Japan debut at Omotesando VENT, on March 8th!

Before Byron embarked on producing his own tracks in 2007, he was a career keyboardist who was adept in various musical styles and genres. What kicked off his career was his 2007 collaboration with the popular (even in Japan) Parisien producer Onra, on their “The Big Payback” EP. This basically launched his production career with subsequent releases on premier labels such as Rush Hour, Warp (in collaboration with Flying Lotus), HHV, Circulations, Reebok Classics a Journey into Future, Real Soon, and Giant Steps Records to name a few.

Sometime in 2015, Byron was working on some music in the studio with Kai Alce and that piece of work got into Theo Parrish’s hands. Theo very much dug the jazz influenced house tracks produced by Byron and released it as the “Highlife EP” on Sound Signature. The EP was a hit and was hitting the charts at record stores all over the world. The following year, Byron recorded the smash hit “Gone Today Here TMRW” off of Kyle Hall’s Wild Oat’s release and that further solidified Byron’s position as one of electronic music’s relevant and important artists.

Byron the Aquarius is no stranger to performing at massive festivals or famous clubs, as he’s been super busy touring globally. So we’re really excited to have him make his Japan debut at VENT! If you love house and Detroit Techno, you are NOT going to want to miss out on this amazing night of music!
