GUHROOVY |
| Hardcore Artist GUHROOVY’s specialty is Shibuya Hardcore Techno. he is the president of the record shop “GUHROOVY” that has stores in Shibuya and Harajuku.
GUHROOVY came to America in 1980 as a singer. He was motivated by the Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, and Hardcore that he heard in Los Angeles. After he returned to Japan, he became involved in the Japanese Hard Rock and Heavy Metal scene dominated by groups such as X JAPAN. In the 1990s, he once again got inspiration, this time from the Jungle music I heard in the U.K. and the Hiphop I heard in New York. He and NO+CHIN are currently working together as the unit “Groove Rockers”. He’s also in charge of the band “ANIplugged”, which performs unplugged versions of anime songs. He started the shop “GUHROOVY” in the streets of Harajuku in 1995. It opened as Japan’s first Mixtape/CD specialty store with connections with New York DJs. This year they will celebrate our 15th anniversary and continue to release Hardcore music. GUHROOVY says “HARDCORE isn’t a music genre, it’s a lifestyle.” |

M-Project |
| M-Project started making music in the year 2000. He’s worked to spread the Spanish style of hardcore music commonly knows as “MAKINA” and is currently managing four hardcore labels including “MOB SQUAD TOKYO” and “TERRAFORM MUSIC”. Through a variety of genres, they seek to give chaotic performances of hardcore sounds, and we of course appreciate our overseas fans.
The worldwide appeal of this music was shown as in the consecutive years of ‘07-’09, as MAKINA and BIT MUSIC, the largest hardcore label in Spain, teamed up at one of America’s largest anime conventions, “ANIME CENTRAL”. Also in 2008, M-Project provided a remix for L.E.D.’s “DENJIN K” album (KONAMI) which was released on March 5th. From November of the same year, he provided music for beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS, and jubeat ripples as well as becoming increasingly more active in the international dance music scene. |
