about
Embrace the spirit of Friday nights as you make your way back to Headquarters. Venture Upstairs and let Gonno guide you through an extraordinary odyssey of soundscapes. Join us as you experience an unforgettable night of pure bliss on the dance floor!
Gonno is without a doubt an integral part of the current wave of house and techno in Japan. His releases have not only appeared on reputable local labels but have also made their way humbly over to the continent.
Gonno always manages to bring an acidy and melodic flavour to his DJ and live sets while still staying true to his house and techno roots. Without fail he draws clubbers in with eclectic sounds and the lost art of storytelling behind the decks/machines.
Gonno’s release “Acdise #2” on International Feel Recordings in 2011 was his breakpoint to get a wider audience, even before its release the EP had frequent play from so many DJs such as Laurent Garnier, James Holden, Francois Kevorkian, Tim Sweeney and Todd Terje, and still continues to be a phenomenal long seller. It’s no exaggeration to say “Acdise #2” is the year’s best Japanese techno tune.
In 2015, Gonno released his first full-length solo album in a decade, titled "Remember The Life Is Beautiful," which garnered him wider recognition and praise from the international audience. He also remixed Jeff Mills' "Light Of Electric Energy," featured on Mills' album "Where Light Ends." Gonno's recent works include the solo EP "The Noughties" on Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space Records and a collaborative EP with Nick Höppner titled "Fantastic Planet" on Ostgut Ton.
Over the past three years, while touring various countries, Gonno has engaged in remix projects for labels like Cocktail D'Amore Music and Butter Sessions. He collaborated with Japanese drummer Masumura, releasing their album "In Circles" in 2018 on P-vine Records Japan, which explores the fusion of electronics and afro-jazzy drums, resonating with South London's new vibes as recognized by Giles Peterson on BBC Radio in the UK.
In 2019, Gonno continued his energetic DJ touring, including performances at Dekmantel Selectors Croatia, Berghain, and venues in Canada and the US.
