Following the success of our tour of Japan with Higo Beat and the legendary Luke Una, we return in 2025, this time with the inimitable DJ Nature. Having moved from Bristol to New York in ’89, DJ Nature has quietly carved out a career as a hugely respected DJ and producer, championed for his raw, textured and emotive aesthetic to sound. His connection to Japan dates back over 40 years, first coming to spin as part of Ray Petri’s Buffalo fashion house and then setting up an export company in NY to supply the Japanese market.

Similar to last year we’ll be partnering with Higo Beat to host a series of pop-up stores as well as DJing in Tokyo, Kyoto, Kagoshima, Osaka and Nagoya from 27th November to 6th December. We’ll be bringing a wealth of Mr Bongo catalogue for the pop ups, plus there’s exclusive tour merchandise and a commemorative zine to be had. More details to follow in the coming weeks.

A huge thank you and big respect to Billy and Andy at Higo Beat for pulling this together. Tour design by Reason For Being Studio.

Here's a roundup of what went down last year with Luke Una to give you a taste of what to expect:
