VENT is proud to present to you Nu Guinea’s highly-anticipated first performance in Japan, at STIR on April 13th!

Formed in Naples and based in Berlin, Nu Guinea’s sound have deep exotic influences. A project born out of a jam session, expert meshing of synths and instruments give their music an organic sheen – they do not seek perfection, but the real and raw sounds only humans can produce. Ever-evolving, they often openly collaborate with other artists, most notable of which is Tony Allen, the father of Afrobeat.

Floating along the planes of obscure disco and world-ethnic music, Nu Guinea conjure feeling of distant yet somehow attainable world. They have such a cult following that their records are known to fly off the shelves of Japanese record stores, so it only makes sense that their debut Japan gig come highly anticipated. Equipped with turntables and keys, Nu Guinea’s impromptu DJ sets are thing to marvel, just check out what they did at Boiler Room. Brace yourself for a night of exotic sounds, only at VENT!
