TIME HOLE, the party series curated by Satoshi Otsuki, has continuously invited DJs who embody a distinct and uncompromising individuality in today’s techno and house scene. Following appearances by Francesco Del Garda, John Talabot, DJ Koolt, and Dyed Soundorom, this edition welcomes none other than Onur Özer.

Hailing from Istanbul, Turkey, Onur Özer began releasing music around 2005 on labels such as Vakant, while honing his DJ skills alongside icons like Ricardo Villalobos and Zip within Europe’s minimal scene. His talent and credibility are reflected in his inclusion in both Sven Väth’s prestigious Cocoon and Berlin’s legendary Watergate DJ mix series. Since the 2010s, he has released tracks on Romanian minimal-affiliated labels like All Inn Records and TC Studio, earning recognition today as one of the leading figures in forward-thinking techno and minimal house alongside Binh, Nicolas Lutz, and dj masda.

Still devoted to vinyl, Onur’s sets—shaped by his experience performing at top-tier festivals around the world—are unmatched in their precision and adventurous selection. His refined DJ technique and unconventional musical perspective have made him a sought-after guest at cutting-edge parties such as the UK’s Art of Dark and many other global events. In recent years, he has stopped uploading mixes online, making his performances rare, in-the-moment experiences. Don’t miss the chance to witness his commanding long set at TIME HOLE.

Visuals will once again be handled by the audiovisual collective REALROCKDESIGN, with Ryosuke Tsuchiya overseeing sound engineering—ensuring a flawless setup from a team deeply familiar with the spirit of this party.

On the 1st floor, the deep experimental unit Akuma no Numa—formed by Compuma, Dr. Nishimura, and Awano—takes the stage, delivering a dark and immersive electronic experience that transcends the boundaries of dance music. Rising talent Celter, who is expanding his presence both in Japan and abroad with a focus on minimal and electro sounds, will perform a B2B set with DNG, a member of CYK and staff at Lighthouse Records, known for his constant pursuit of new music.

On the 4th floor, Mayurashka, whose releases on forward-thinking house labels such as Animals Dancing, Studio Barnhus, and Rhythm Section International have drawn international attention, will share the decks with Yamarchy, who has long been a driving force in Tokyo’s club culture while also serving as the main director of Mitsuki. With many parallels in their musical journeys, the two are set to deliver a house set rich with personality and groove.
