JILUKA
JILUKA was formed in February 2015 with a four member line-up:
Ricko (vocals) / Sena (guitar) / Boogie (bass) / Zyean (drums)
JILUKA expresses a variety of emotions by combining their aggressive metal sound with diverse musical essences and utilizing striking, melodious music.
The band released three mini albums and five singles in a three year period, trademarked by an impressive musical evolution, interwoven with a musical sense indicative of the new generation.
Strongly embossed with the label of visual kei Deathcore from the start, both their growth as a band and a hybrid and metallic intensification resulted in the creation of visual kei modern metal.
Furthermore, they expanded their always energetic live performance endeavors and presented the world with their first full album "Metamorphose" in 2018. And after that, they challenged themselves to take a new step forward in May 2019 with their brilliantly daring cover album "Polyhedron", which included a metal version of the nationally recognized hit song "U.S.A." and an iconic anime song "Fukai Mori".
Marking their 5th year as a band with their first best-of album "XANADU" and an anniversary solo show in February 2020, JILUKA are on the cutting edge of V-Kei modern metal with divided albums "Xtopia"(2020) and "IDOLA"(2021).
In October 2022, the band launched their ultimate new flagship "Electro Gothic Metal (EGM)" sound with the digital single "BLVCK" (sound-engineered by Jeff Dunne who's known for working with Motionless in White, Ice Nine Kills, Emmure, Chelsea Grin, etc). And their following digital singles "OVERKILL" "VENΦM"(2023), "S4VAGE"(2024), spread the possibilities of EGM. Especially music video "VENΦM" got over 1.5 million view in the first year on YouTube(https://youtu.be/SnTqDzM43VU).
JILUKA made their first performance in the United States in October at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2023. A month later, it was revealed that they would play at Evil Live Festival in Lisbon, becoming the first visual kei band to perform in the country. Taking advantage of the festival date, the band announced their first world tour 2024 named K4RMA with five solo dates in Europe; in the cities of Warsaw, Bratislava, Cologne, Paris and London which all sold out, plus the Resurrection Festival in Spain / EVIL LIVE Fest in Portugal and a show in Los Angeles in July. Due to the success of K4RMA, they returned to Europe in September with "K4RMA - The Return", this time with 2 new countries: Italy and Finland, and finishing it with a show in China. A four-date tour in United States will begin in late October, 2024.
In February 2025, they released their 5th digital single "KVLT". Starting in March, they embarked on a North American tour with IMMINENCE (22 shows in 3 weeks). Furthermore, in May, they launched their headline world tour 2025 "THE KVLT", touring Europe in June (including festival appearances at the Czech "ROCK FOR PEOPLE" and Finland "Tuska 2025") and South America in July. Subsequently, they began a nationwide Japan tour from late August. (During this Japan tour, the band released their new best album "XNDII" to commemorate their 10th anniversary).
And 2026 kicks off with the release of JILUKA's latest EGM digital single "DeViLs."
In May, they will also embark on a nationwide tour headlining a total of 17 cities in the US.
Now, JILUKA with EGM is taking over the world!!

SADIE JEAN
Early Twenties Tourture
Sadie Jean is hitting the road with Early Twenties Tourture, turning her debut album into a live experience that feels more personal than ever before. Known for pop hooks, soulful vocals, and unguarded emotional insights, Sadie Jean and her band bring a set built for finding collective heartbreak and healing all in one night.
Leveraging the momentum of her viral breakthrough “WYD Now?”, Sadie sold out her first headline tour and appeared at major festivals across the globe; recently on tour with Lauren Spencer Smith and Rod Wave, now, she’s stepping into her next season with confidence.
With over 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 500 million total streams across hits like “Locksmith” and “Just Because,” Sadie has already made her mark on the pop landscape. But beyond the numbers, her ability to transform moments of heartbreak and self-discovery into timeless, emotionally resonant songs has become the primary hallmark of her artistry, continuing to attract fans around the world.
Early Twenties Torture, as she explains, captures exactly that: the messy, exhilarating, painful, joyful ride of falling headfirst into adulthood. Sadie Jean is never one to shy away from reality, and if her soul-baring debut ties her coming-of-age struggles up in a bow that seems conflicted, you’ll know one thing for certain — she’s telling you the truth.

KELSY KARTER & THE HEROINES
With FRANKIE & THE STUDS
Hailing from the vibrant confluence of British grit and Australian charm, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines have stormed the global music scene with an electrifying blend of rebellious rock ’n’roll and unbridled creativity. Formed five years ago, this dynamic four-piece is spearheaded by the unapologetic Kelsy Karter, whose fiery persona and theatrical roots set the stage for the band’s thrilling rise in modern rock.
Kelsy Karter, an Australian theatre kid turned rock frontwoman, leads the charge with a blend of potty- mouthed charm and heartfelt sincerity. Known for her audacious approach to self-promotion, Kelsy has become a media sensation for her innovative and often outrageous marketing stunts. TIME magazine once drew comparisons between her and rock icons like Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper. Her fearless attitude toward online hate and her advocacy for self-expression and anti-bullying have made her a powerful and influential voice both on and off the stage.
The band’s core is completed by the inseparable English trio of lead guitarist Matt Peach, drummer Sebastian Boyse, and bassist Tommy Gent. Hailing from Derby, England, these three have been friends since childhood and share an undeniable chemistry that fuels their explosive performances. Their combined talents create a rich, guitar-drenched sound steeped in glam rock, soul and ’80s punk, offering a musical experience that is both timeless and contemporary.
Their debut album, Missing Person, was a critical triumph, marking the band as a unique force in modern rock and earning the distinction of “The Album Rolling Stone Recommends” in Rolling Stone’s print issue the month following its release. With over 800k followers across social media platforms, The Heroines have built a digital circus of live performances, comedy skits, and touring anecdotes. Their social media presence is as electric as their music, showcasing the band’s cheek, charm, and Kelsy’s candid advice on embracing one’s true self.
Kelsy Karter & The Heroines recently unleashed their sophomore album, Love Made Me Do It - a fiery, emotional rock opera that dives headfirst into love, chaos, and redemption. The record cements their reputation as one of the most exciting and theatrical forces in rock today.
Having toured extensively across the globe as headliners, the band has also shared the stage with rock legends including Billy Idol, The Cult, and Halestorm, earning acclaim for their explosive live energy and unapologetic authenticity. Endorsement deals with Monster Energy, Shure, Fender, and Taylor Guitars further attest to their growing prominence. As they continue to headline tours, support rock icons past and present, and ignite festival stages worldwide, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines remain at the forefront of rock music - proving that when the front door slams and the back door’s locked, they’ll always find a way through the window.

RJD2
with JEL
With the same care he combines sound sources into songs, RJD2 has stitched together an
impressive career out of many projects: instrumental albums, international tours, credits for
Mos Def, MF DOOM, Phonte, producing the theme for Mad Men, and beyond. The Columbus,
OH producer titled his new album Visions Out of Limelight in honor of his comfortable
place in the underground and his "self-imposed exile" at work on the tracks. For his latest
instrumental LP, the producer found inspiration in sources that can be taken for granted by
less-discerning listeners.
Thanks to time at home with his son, RJD2 was completely immersed in the TV theme
songs of the '70s, '80s, and '90s. "I realized how incredibly composed and skillfully
complex many of them were. These songs contained a few core tenets: a great groove, a
great chord change, a strong melody, and a concise time frame," he says. "It made me
realize how hard it is to make instrumental music with a melody that's as memorable as a
lead vocal."
The producer was also determined to build tracks around interesting basslines, inspired by
classic parts in Dr. Dre's "Deep Cover," KMD's "Black Bastards," and [Diamond D example].
It was a deliberate change from the chord-centric compositions in post-millennial hip-hop
and funk. It became a "mini-mission" for the producer to make a modern album that puts
the bass in the forefront of the songs.
Both approaches align on single "Catch The Exit Door," as electric bass percolates up and
down the neck under wah-wah guitars and horns straight out of a syndicated cop drama.
"Through It All" features crooning from English vocalist Jamie Lidell, pondering his
existence over piano stabs and a steady breakbeat. Frequent collaborator Jordan Brown
flexes his paranoid android falsetto to fit the loose groove of "Fools at the Haul" with
robotic precision.
Some songs were recorded with live instrumentation while others were chopped and reassembled via sampler "like the olden days," RJD2 says. "I still to this day appreciate the
radical shift in mindstate inspired by constructing a song with bits of found sound."
Good luck figuring out which drums are live or samples. With 15+ years of studio
experience, the producer has developed a combination of mic placement, technique, tuning
and gain staging to get drum sounds that evoke the same grit and urgency of classic hiphop breakbeats. "You either run out of great drum samples, or you spend the bulk of your
creative time chasing new ones, to varying degrees of success," he says. "The finite nature
of great drum samples has pushed me further into honing my drumming game."
RJD2 has a wide range of Visions: "Wild For The Night"'s aggro horn loop was inspired by
the legendary Bomb Squad, while "What I Do, Man" and "Asphalt Lamentations" were
inspired by French touch house of Daft Punk and Ed Banger Records. At proper volume, the
full album evokes the thrift-shop psychedelia of Paul's Boutique.
And the producer really did bury himself up to his neck in the dirt [where?] for the album
art.
"Album covers have become my opportunity to do something fun in the real world," he
says. It's a dual homage to Funkadelic's Maggot Brain and Redman's Dare Iz A Darkside,
two artists with enduring catalogs of no-bullshit, rock-solid music. RJD2 aspires to create a
similar body of work, from his 2002 opus Deadringer to 2020's The Fun Ones on to the
future.
"I have come to terms with the fact that the most impactful and lasting effort I can put
forth in my limited time on Earth is to leave behind the best music I can, not for the sake of
pitching 'me,' but for the sake of the music itself," he says. "The timeless nature of recorded
music and its ability to touch an unknown future listener makes it as close to a worthy
endeavor as I'll ever attempt." Visions Out of Limelight channels RJD2's many influences
into another incredible instrumental album, and it just might be a classic one day too. -Jack
