The Swirl, hosted by Japan-based Deep Tech label Play Of Color, returns for its sixth edition. Launched with the aim of bringing world-class sounds to Japan, the party has previously welcomed guests including Kolter, Vitess, and Dennis Quin. This time, Italian house producer duo YOUniverse joins as the special guest. Active as DJs and producers, YOUniverse have developed a distinctive sonic identity rooted in ’90s dance and house music, the raw energy of electro, and a strong hip-hop attitude. As resident DJs of Shout!, one of Italy’s most respected underground parties, they have become key figures in Turin’s club scene. In 2023, they launched Shout! Records as a natural extension of their artistic vision. The label has quickly established itself as one of the most promising names across the Italian and international underground circuit. Joining YOUniverse and Play Of Color members Amps, ISPA, and GooPer is Saeri, one of Japan’s leading tech house producers. With releases on some of the scene’s top labels, Saeri has gained support from major artists including Hot Since 82, Jamie Jones, and Franky Rizardo. Also on the lineup is HERO, a rising presence both as a DJ and producer who performs regularly at leading Tokyo clubs including VENT and WOMB.
