CYBE: ASSEMBLY

Neurofunk figurehead Billain brings his CYBE imprint to Tokyo for the label’s launch night, presented alongside the Cyberneuro collective. The lineup connects core CYBE artists CÅARL, LOKSHOT, and Greymage with Tokyo drum & bass fixtures Tetsuji Tanaka and GS Projekt, hosted by MC D2.

Across 140–180 BPM, the night moves through contemporary drum & bass, halftime weight, post-club structures, and experimental sound design — direct, high-pressure, and tuned for the room.

Billain — CYBE founder and a central force in modern drum & bass. Fresh from his Mirror LP tour across Europe and Australia, including a headline at The Hive, Let It Roll, Billain brings his uncompromising cyber-neuro sound to Tokyo. His sets shift between high-impact drum & bass and dense halftime, defined by meticulous sound design and controlled intensity

CÅARL — operating within a stripped, forward-leaning vision of neurofunk. Industrial pressure and dystopian atmosphere are shaped into focused momentum, reduced and deliberate. A rising presence in the darker reaches of drum & bass.

LOKSHOT — working at the outer edges of contemporary drum & bass, informed by post-neuro structures and experimental club forms. His sound favors tension, texture, and restraint, delivered through sharp blends and precise transitions.

Greymage — aligned with the Cyberneuro collective, navigating 140–150 BPM territory. Drawing from deconstructed club and experimental influences, the emphasis is on space, contrast, and carefully weighted selections.

Tetsuji Tanaka — a pillar of Japan’s drum & bass scene. With over 25 years behind the decks, he’s known for deep musical knowledge and refined four-deck control. His sets move fluidly between current drum & bass and overlooked records, guided by experience and instinct.

GS Projekt — the duo of Shintaro and Gradate, exploring technical, heads-focused drum & bass through a techno-informed approach. Their sound balances deep autonomic pressure with hypnotic pacing, shaped by disciplined blending and controlled flow.
