The Japanese Popstars

DJ Magazine Arena hosted by Bootleg Social

The Japanese Popstars may have been together for just a few years, but they’ve carved out a reputation to rival the biggest names in dance music as a must-see live act and purveyor of raucous, foot-stomping, energetic electronic dance music. In the two years since their debut album 'We Just Are' dropped on Gung-Ho!, featuring the twitchy, whooshing, big room anthems ‘Sample Whore’ and ‘Delboy’s Revenge’, they’ve gone on tour the States, played in Australia, across Europe and, of course Japan – a place that’s especially taken them to their hearts. 2011 has witnessed the release of their critically acclaimed second album ‘Controlling Your Allegiance’.  This includes the amazing single, ‘Joshua’ which features Tom Smith of Editors taking over vocal duties. They have also collaborated with a diverse mix of artists, including Irish songstress Lisa Hannigan, Chicago house legend Green Velevet, and Morgan Kibby of M83.  Whilst perhaps not popstars, these ‘dancestars’ are certain to bring a star quality to the Together Winter Music Festival.
