AS ABOVE SO BELOW ft Que Sakamoto (JPN)

AS ABOVE SO BELOW presents its third offering welcoming Que Sakamoto for an extended late night set at Angel Music Bar on Friday the 15th November. Que Sakamoto is a musician and producer From Tokyo, Japan. He is known for his eclectic blend of diverse electronic music styles, as well as his use of vintage equipment and instruments in his productions. His DJ sets are always a surprise, because he caters his performances for the crowd in each country he visits. He never repeats the same vibe, always tending towards weird, interesting music, as this is how he expresses his Japanese identity. In one go, he can take the crowd from disco to garage to dub, even to trance and experimental breakbeat. Ex Ponto - After a decade of self-released albums with improvisation collective, Council of Elders, and experimental no-wave band, Wunderlust, Ex Ponto (Ivan Masic) released his debut solo album in 2019 via General Purpose Records. Titled Neka Neka, the LP is a homage to Bosnian poet Ivo Andrić, ex-Yugoslavian experimentalists of the 80s, and the thriving, late-night intellectualism of Belgrade’s Club 20/44. Whilst these influences remain, Ex Ponto’s 2022 release, In A Quarry… (Offen Music) constructs an alternative civilisation of grace, post-sarcasm and intuitive response.
