DEAR MONDAY, vol.311

DEAR MONDAY — 311th Edition RAKERAKA’s flagship party DEAR MONDAY celebrated its sixth anniversary this September, quietly becoming one of those hidden gems for people who really care about music. Away from the usual packed-out party chaos, DEAR MONDAY is a place to slow down, tune in and properly get lost in underground sounds. Tucked away in the darkness, the space brings together music heads who come to listen, move and experience the night at their own pace. Let us introduce the guest DJs for the 311th instalment. DJ Tengu Time is a rare breed of DJ with a penchant for "rare groove"—specifically, the unique, offbeat rhythms found in obscure corners of the globe—transforming dance floors into mysterious, otherworldly spaces. Meanwhile, DJ 1㎜ 2㎜ no Nimiri has inherited this distinct style directly from Tengu Time; as a rising talent, Nimiri continues to expand these surreal sonic realms, primarily throughout Osaka. And DJ HSC, an organiser deeply rooted in British mutant rave culture, brings a ritualistic, storytelling approach to the dance floor — moving freely between post-club, rave and everything in between. Every Monday night at RAKERAKA, the FUNKTION-ONE system and the sounds pouring into the darkness create something that feels less like a club and more like an ancient ritual space somewhere in Asia. Come get lost with us. DEAR MONDAY — 311 RAKERAKA Monday night. Let’s go.
