Manuka Honey will make her Japan debut atMIDNIGHT EAST on Friday, 7th June.
The London-based artist and a professional astrologer Manuka Honey released her first EP on Mexican label NAAFI in 2021, and since then she has been releasing cutting-edge music that harness the energy of Latin-American (where she has her roots) and Caribbean dance sounds such as reggaeton and cumbia. In 2023, she toured across Europe, the US and Asia, in addition to appearances at Boiler Room and Keep Hush. This year, she got featured on RA Podcast in January and released her latest single '3Eternities Beneath You' on Club Romantico in March, making her an ever-increasing presence to keep an eye on. Manuka Honey is now one of the hottest names in the game and she will be playing at Spotify O-EAST 3F this time.
She will be joined by MAYUDEPTH, who contributed a new track for the LA label Acid Camp's 10th anniversary compilation in April this year, and Mars89, who has just launched his own label Nocturnal Technology. Also TEI TEI from Beijing, the force behind the psytrance-and-techno-rave-inspired party Denki Bodhisattva, has been confirmed.
MELEETIME, the organiser of the queer party FETCH, curated the line-up for Azumaya, that includes another four up-and-coming acts: BASiRiNO, DIV, Elena Midori and Sonia Lagoon.
For this special night, we will collaborate with NeoL, an online magazine from Tokyo that publishes articles on fashion, art and culture, selected from a unique perspective. There will be “NeoL Lounge” where you can check out POP-UP store of DENSE, a popular select shop of vintage/archive clothing from all over the world, nail art by Yuna, and 2weeks tattoo booth by Erika.
