Gildas and Masaya, founders of Kitsuné
This is about music, all kinds of music, whether made with guitars or machines, it’s about attitude, personality and character...
Kitsuné, the Franco-Japanese company has been cleverly bridging music, fashion and design since 2002 with their first record release Funkin for Jamaica by ex-Dee-Lite DJ Towa Tei. The young and unique brand Kitsuné is the brainchild of Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki who not only direct operations of the company’s music, and fashion (retail and design) operations, but are also a fine pair of DJs – an activity that’s proven essential in running what is arguably the most exciting record labels in the world today.
Since the original Funkin debut, Kitsuné have gone on to sign cutting-edge acts like Digitalism, Klaxons, Simian Mobile Disco, and Hot Chip all having released massive tracks on the Kitsuné Music label, which now has over 70 releases as well as a series of very popular Maison Kitsuné compilations.
After consistently rocking the coolest parties from London to Tokyo via Reykjavik and New York, Gildas and Masaya are celebrating the release of their latest DJ mix album Paris with a very special CD launch party at Club Bonbon, Shanghai .
What is underground today will be mainstream tomorrow, and Kitsuné are here to prove it. At a time when so many record labels are closing down, Kitsuné’s turnover continues to grow and with without concessions towards commercialism.
The idea was always to reach as many people as possible with our open-minded conception of pop music and some original yet attractive sounds. We have no qualms about merging the worlds of electronic & rock. This is about music, all kind of music, whether made with guitars or machines, it’s about attitude, personality and character... -Gildas.
2008 is already a banner year, and Kitsuné are celebrating the opening of their own retail shop in Paris as well as the release of their latest tracks by New Yorkers Fischerspooner and a brand new single by Cazals entitled Somebody Somewhere. It’s the continued success of the entire series of Maison Kitsuné DJ mix CDs, with eclectic mixes and mashups of rock, pop and electro that truly defines this quite undefinable duo, especially when they are behind the decks.
For more Kitsuné, check out their official website at www.maisonkitsune.fr where you’ll also find many of their singles and full-length CDs available for download. Or join their Facebook group to hear some of their latest tracks.
The founders of Kitsuné, Gildas and Masaya take a break from the daily operations of their record label and fashion brand to cut loose at a very special event marking the release of their latest DJ mix CD Paris at Shanghai Club Bonbon on Friday May 2, 2008.

Celebrating 10 Years of Tiefschwarz
We don’t have a musical background, we have a party background...
Tiefschwarz created much buzz amongst clubland’s cognescenti at the biggest parties of last month’s Winter Music Conference in Miami, headlining with Ewan Pearson at Suite Lounge, utterly destroying Nikki Beach, and then laying it all on the line at the prestigious OM Records party OM:Miami at the Ultralounge. 2008 has started off with quite a bang for the brothers from Stuttgart, and they make their return trip to Shanghai on Friday, April 25.
A lot has happened in the past 2 years since Tiefschwarz first visited China. After a stellar Shanghai event at Club Bonbon in June 2006 the Schwarz brothers Ali and Basti went on to complete some very high-profile remixes of some very high-profile artists including Depeche Mode’s “John The Revelator”, Roxy Music’s “Rain Rain Rain”, and Madonna’s “Get Together”.
They also released the “Fabric 29” mixed CD for the London superclub’s record label. But the biggest development for brothers whom derive their name Tiefschwarz as an amalgam of their family name and the German word for “deep”, was the creation of their very own recording label - SOUVENIR. It’s a project that Ali and Basti had excitedly planned for years and has finally taken off, releasing some of the best new dance music to hit the decks in years.
2007 marked the tenth anniversary of Tiefschwarz in the music business celebrating the 1997 release of their first single “24 Seven” a deep house track on the German label Continuemusics. To celebrate, the brothers released “10 Years of Tiefschwarz” a retrospective DJ mix and collection of Tiefschwarz tracks remixed by heavy-hitters Carl Craig, Samim, Drama Society and Shonky.
To top it all off, Tiefschwarz were also nominated for a Grammy in 2007 under the Best Remix category for the Buick Project remix of their track “Damage” which featured vocals by Tracey Thorn.
The road to the Grammys was full of twists and turns for Tiefschwarz. Ali and Basti Schwarz created Tiefschwarz out of a passion nurtured since 1990 from their first experiences as DJs at the now legendary clubs in Stuttgart "ON -U" (1990 – 1993) and "Red Dog" (1993 – 1997). They moved into bigger clubs and were among the first promoters to attract the biggest names in US house - Mike Dunn, Tony Humphries and Masters at Work all played their nights in Germany. Those deep, housey influences were plain to hear in their early production work too, as they started to tout their name by remixing tracks.
These days, Tiefschwarz are rooted in Berlin's counterculture and continue to mastered a deep, driving sound that is firmly rooted in techno, house and electro, providing unforgettable soundtracks to clubnights across the globe.
Tiefschwarz plays on Friday, April 25th at Club Bonbon, Shanghai for a very special Godskitchen Worldwide event.
