2024年からシークレットベニューで開催されてきた已己巳己 -ikomiki-が、今回は特別編として平日の水曜日にWOMBで開催。今回はフランスのパリからVoiskiが来日し、これまで培われてきた濃密な空気感をそのままに、新たな場所での未知なる体験を作り出す。 Since 2024, ikomiki has been held at secret venues, and this time it will take place as a special edition on a weekday Wednesday at WOMB. This time, Voiski from Paris, France will be performing, bringing the same deeply cultivated atmosphere to create an unknown experience in a new setting. --- Voiski AND IN AND OUT, AND OUT AND IN. Voiski has been a leading figure in techno music for more than a decade. Becoming, since his debut, a very interesting and respected artist around the world, he succeeded in keeping his huge musical aura and sound through the years and fashions. From an Iranian background, he has always been very connected to spiritual music and trance in particular. The element of repetition is ongoing through his catalog, creating a direct link to his beloved minimalistic classical composers and his Iranian roots. Experienced live performer, Voiski is also an amazing DJ. His love for classic electro gets space to shine here, together with segments of underestimated beatless material, breaking up the steady pattern of the kick drum. Appearing around the world under his own name, Homāyun Kheradmand goes under many guises and is part of several constellations aside from his main alias. Famous for being the other part of the very popular Polar Inertia, you can also meet him as Vrilski (with Vril), Superski (with Eliott Litrowski), Wav (with Wata Igarashi), Kartei (with Crysta Patterson) or with Hadone on their recent collaboration. On the production side, Voiski is a very prolific musician. With more than 200 tracks and 20 EP’s, his compositions are released on the creme de la creme of labels including Bassiani, Mama told Ya, L.I.E.S, Dekmantel, ARA and Delsin. In a time when the techno world often can give the impression of “the harder, the better”, Voiski is not afraid to admit he wants his music and DJ- sets to contain groove and is all about proposing an alternative sound for a deeply charismatic techno which can speak to everyone. --- Shinsuke Goto(Mitsuki/Lapita) Shinsuke Goto has honed his craft as a manager at Mitsuki, one of Tokyo's most iconic venues of the 2020s, while developing a flexible musical sensibility and refining his DJ skills. Currently, he is responsible for curating the program at Mitsuki, where he also runs AFTER LIFE, the venue's only regular techno party, which has been held bi-monthly since 2022. As a resident DJ, he has earned deep trust within the local scene. Building on appearances at Rural, one of Japan's leading festivals, and Wonderfruit, one of the largest festivals in Asia, he has expanded his name and reputation internationally, performing at renowned Berlin clubs such as Tresor and Sameheads. What makes Shinsuke truly stand out is his proactive approach and passion. He fully embraces both the inevitable effects and the spontaneous moments of dance music, transforming them into his unique DJ output. While rooted in techno, he is constantly driven to incorporate new sounds. His deep selections demonstrate a sharp insight that allows him to take control of the space, while his ability to create resonance can ignite the dancefloor. At times, he even becomes a driving force that moves entire communities. Sharply attuned to the "now," Shinsuke guides his audience beyond, into what lies ahead. --- DJ MARIA. DJ MARIA.
