DJ HIKARU - Light's MPS - live 26' @ Haisai - Various Artists

2026

Based in Okinawa and active across Japan, DJ HIKARU brings his unique sensibility to a live mix exploring the profound sonic world of Germany’s MPS label! Deeply moved by the spiritual essence, sonic beauty, and performances radiating a quiet intensity born of the Black Forest, DJ HIKARU has transformed the MPS catalog into something entirely new through his uninhibited mixing style. Neither strictly jazz nor club music, this is a transcendent DJ mix that awakens the listener through the sheer power of sound itself!
