Saturday Special Guest:

Dexpistols

DJ Jin (Rhymester / Breakthrough)

Are you ready for these guys? With a name like the Dexpistols then you're gonna have to stand out from the crowd and that's exactly what DJ Maar & DJ Daruma do. They not only stand out - they (metaphorically) grab you by the neck, shake you till your legs drop off and then tell you that you've just been Dexpistol -ed! The Dexpistols raised many eyebrows at last year's Fuji Rock Festival and since then they have deservedly become contenders for Japan's most sought-after club performers. The Dexpistols are one highly explosive way to start the weekend!

DJ Jin is a member of the No 1 Japanese hip hop group RHYMESTER. Rhymester are commonly refered to as "THE KING OF STAGE " in Japan. DJ Jin has performed with a wide range of famous artists including Run DMC, DJ Shadow and Dego (4 HERO). He is also the organizer of Tokyo's finest Hip Hop crossover event, Breakthrough. Breakthrough has become a special project for DJ Jin and he released the event's debut album, “Breakthrough” (Ki/oon Sony) in 2005. The album features an international cast of MCs, vocalists and musicians that included Amp Fiddler, Bahamadia, Bembe Segue, Jneiro Jarrel, Grap Luva, Maspyke, Count Bass D and Mark de Clive-Lowe.
