#DJQS30 Tokyo Most Underground DJ QUIETSTORM 30 Years and Counting at BEAMS T HARAJUKU

A pop-up shop will be held at "BEAMS T Harajuku" from April 20th (Friday) to commemorate DJ QUIETSTORM 's 30th anniversary.

DJ QUIETSTORM continues to evolve with his never-before-heard original mixes, outstanding technique, and strong love for hip-hop.
As this year marks his 30th anniversary as a DJ, we will be releasing T-shirts designed by six artists who are close friends with him. KAMI, a pioneer in the Japanese graffiti world who created the jacket for her second album "Soramiro", has become a cult figure in the art scene around the world with her dynamic and delicate art drawn with pointillism and lines, as well as calligraphy using her unique typeface. Various artists representing Japan are participating, including USUGROW, who has a huge following, and MOZYSKEY, who is leading the graffiti scene in Tokyo. In addition to selling T-shirts, we will also be selling works by participating artists.

From 19:00 on the release date, we will also hold a reception party that recreates the “LIVING ROOM™” held at “UNICE” in Daikanyama. Along with him, DJ KENSEI and DJ YAS, who are leading the underground hip-hop scene in Japan, will also be participating. Please come and join us to celebrate DJ QUIETSTORM 's 30th anniversary.

Message from...

If hip-hop is about continuing to move and break through to the next dimension, then to know the trajectory of DJ QUIETSTORM is to know the potential of Japanese hip-hop and people's music.

The true essence of hip-hop's musical experience is to listen to the changes from one beat to the next with your ears and body on the floor, while your heart and spirit gradually become higher and freer. The brave DJ QUIETSTORM has traveled to many different worlds, and has not only sustained this kind of movement, but also exemplified it himself.

From the days when he was a teenager playing hip-hop to gym-filled crowds at house music parties and wildly disrupting the entire space, to the cool lounges in the middle of Tokyo in the 21st century, he's always been there. He has mastered the art of moving people by playing genre-less music. Come to think of it, its old name was "Nakameguro Pharmacy".

“TIGHT” with DJ YAS was also in its 21st year. Congratulations on your 30th anniversary as a DJ.
