The Bands of Japan: 1.G.K.
Fusing techno, drum and bass, filter disco, break beats and the energy of club music with the passion of rock, 1.G.K bridges the gap between analog and digital music. Combining live instruments, sample pads, sequencers and scratching, they are aiming to create a digital sound that is equally at home in clubs as well as on the live stage. Their ties to the dance world are strong, and vocalist Katsu is known worldwide for his innovative and emotional style of breakdance.
