about

Event Description:

Pitch-black industrial and provocative techno.

Nan+na are a new collective in Tokyo aiming to establish a new cultural scene in the city. For their first event at Contact, they’re teaming up with the cult Pharmakist night to host the first Hospital Productions showcase in Japan.

Hospital Productions stands as one of the leading platforms for contemporary industrial music. It was founded in New York in 1997, initially emerging as a cassette-focused label carrying founder Dominick Fernow’s work as Prurient, as well as other like-minded sonic miscreants. From the gritty DIY aesthetic of the label’s presentation to the confrontational nature of the music, Hospital has grown to become an authoritative stamp in the fertile underbelly of electronic music culture – a relentlessly productive entity with an intimidating release schedule and clarity of creative direction.

Fernow’s own musical identity is intrinsically tangled up in that of Hospital Productions – as Prurient he’s explored savage noise, power electronics and industrial, while as Vatican Shadow he’s channeled those tendencies into a bruising strain of techno with global influences and hard-hitting political themes. For this special showcase at Contact, he’ll be performing the first ever live Prurient set in Japan, and DJing as Vatican Shadow.

A generous helping of the Hospital Productions family will be present as well. Becka Diamond is a luminary of New York culture – a seasoned DJ now woven into the fabric of Hospital. Meanwhile Severed Mercies artist Guilt Attendant will also be performing a bruising live set of hard-edged techno.

漆黒のインダストリアル × フロアを扇動するテクノ

Dominick Fernow率いるレーベル〈Hospital Productions〉の国内初ショーケースが実現！東京に新しい音楽とカルチャーを築き上げる集合体Nan+naが、都内で密かに盛り上がりを見せるPharmakistとともに最高の舞台を用意する。
インダストリアルミュージックの最新形を世に送り出す発信拠点して確固たる地位を獲得している〈Hospital Productions〉は、1997年にニューヨークで設立当初、首謀者Dominic FernowのPrurient名義によるカセット作品や、意識をともにする同胞たちのサウンドを発表するレーベルとして台頭。タフなDIY精神に満ちたレーベルの姿勢や攻撃的な音楽を武器に、有象無象の肥沃なエレクトロニックミュージックシーンで信頼のおける存在へと成長を遂げ、無慈悲なまでに圧倒的なリリース量ながら、ブレることのない明確なビジョンは多くのファンを魅了している。
その世界観を濃密に反映するのは、もちろんDominic Fernowだ。ノイズ/インダストリアル/強烈な電子音を残忍なまでに展開するPrurient名義のほか、国際的な影響と過激な政治的テーマを鬱蒼としたテクノで打ち出すプロジェクトVatican Shadowは、〈Hospital Productions〉のアイデンティティとなっている。今回のショーケースは、本邦初となるPrurientのライヴセットとVatican ShadowのDJを体験できる貴重な機会だ。
ほかにも〈Hospital Productions〉の屋台骨として欠かせない存在となったBecka Diamondによる熟練のDJにくわえ、自ら〈Severed Mercies〉の運営も手掛けるGuilt Attendantが陰鬱なテクノサウンドでフロアに猛攻を仕掛ける。狂気にも似た扇動の夜がここに！
