Yoshitaka Shirakura (Konvektion / Shindou / the Calm)

Yoshitaka Shirakura is a DJ and party organizer based in Tokyo whose musical style crosses back and forth across different genres such as noise, avant-garde, and techno. He is good at creating and distorting dance floors by mixing earth trembling grooves, cutting-edge intervals of the sounds, and trebles that he has been delicately faced with though his exploration of noise music.

In recent years, he’s organized “Konvektion” an experimental techno party at Contact Tokyo with Takaaki Itoh and DJ Yazi. Also, several other parties and festival are regularly organized by Shirakura such as “Shindou” an avant-garde music party that intermingles sound art, noise, and drone, “Matatabi” a techno party teaming up with Yasunobu Suzuki, and “the Calm” an ambient festival in a rural mountainous area of Japan.

Besides playing and organizing, he’s also actively involved with booking work for Japanese techno and trance festivals such as ”CAMP Off-Tone”, ”Harukaze”, ”Sawagi Festival”, ”Re:birth”, and ”iLINX”.

As a music producer, 2019 saw him start performing drone live while playing the bass guitar. In the same year, he as “Fuguli”, an experimental music duo, participated in the production of a compilation album “From here to everywhere” released from VLZ PRODUKT (a Japanese label) and in 2022 “Anthology Of Experimental Music From Japan” from Unexplained Sounds Group (an Italian label).

With ''music'', if you can call what I create such a thing, I enjoy experimenting with what my voice can do. I also enjoy using sounds as collage pieces and forming a ''picture'' through things that are on par with what I feel compelled to express here and there.
