Kokeshi is the personal
project of Alicia Bauer aka DJ
Alley Cat. Since 2009 the
imprint has established itself
with a unique, lush approach
to electronic music from 130
to 170 BPM.
Introducing new artists to the
world like Lung and
Irrelevant, the label also won
best dubstep remix on the
official Dubstep forum awards
with the Kryptic Minds remix
of Lung's anthemic 'Afterlife'
which was also picked up by
several major dubstep
compilations.
With a 140 BPM remix from DnB
visionary Calibre (aka
Dominick Martin) already
released in 2011, the rest of
the year will see more singles
from the label including a 12"
from rising star Bulb, a full
album project from Irrelevant,
and the first Kokeshi
'Kompilation' featuring
favourites and unreleased
tunes from the highly popular
Kokeshi ((pod))kasts.
To top this off the Kokeshi
Klub nights have been
spreading across the UK and
Europe with a recent label
night at highly respected
Berlin Club Icon being a
highlight. Kokeshi Klub will
be taking over Fabric Room 3
in June 2011 with a star
studded selection of
affiliated DJ's
A highly respected DJ in her
own right, Alley Cat's vision
in bringing together a Kokeshi
Kollective of DJ's and like
minded artists is the perfect
recipe of music for todays
crowds who are more and more
disregarding genres and
tempo's in favour of musical
depth.
