Pitchoun is all about Love. That is why we want to make Valentine a night to remember. This year on the very special night of Valentine eve, we welcome a very rare kind of musician: The dreamy kind that soothes your pain, and gives meaning to the word Romance. We are happy to welcome KEENHOUSE, from L.A., for a one-night-only special LIVE set. He will be joined on stage by his most romantic friends from Tokyo. Come and share the Love.

Keenhouse is Ken Rangkuty, he is half german, half indonesian, grew up in the forest and now can be found in Los Angeles. He is a part of the Binary label, who picked him up after the release of his debut album \'Civic Transit\', an album which is perhaps one of the most under-the-radar-amazing albums of our times.

A ZOMBIE AT MY DOOR (Pitchoun)
French electro DJ AZAMD is part of the French-Japanese label Pitchoun, and mainly spins in Tokyo. Off-the-road AZAMD is a shadow of the deep jungle, appearing in private or secret parties as well as famous and fashionable underground clubs. Once on stage, AZAMD often launches savage beats of electro music -french-touch, new wave or 80z content-, but can also slow down and play sensual pulsions, which sometimes drift to electronica, post rock or experimental sounds. AZAMD is also the creator of famous and worldwide downloaded electro tape "La Cassette", monthly released on [www.pitchoun.jp], and extend his work for Pitchoun to photo shooting and graphic designs.
