I make music hoping to resolve my conflicting obsessions : Disco, EBM and dystopian movie scores.

Shoko Igarashi was born in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. An accomplished tenor saxophonist, she is also a versatile flautist and plays alto and soprano saxophone fluently. She has already made her mark as both an arranger and a composer.
 
Shoko grew up surrounded by dreamlike landscapes of abundant nature in the snowy
countryside of Tsuruoka, a mysterious and surreal region renowned for producing the best quality rice in Japan, where she says, “the water and the air feel the purest and where mountains and shrines overflow with ancient mysticism“. After beginning her musical career in Tokyo, she attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree of music. 
She then relocated to Brooklyn, New York where she began regularly performing live alongside innumerable talented jazz musicians. In 2018, she moved to Brussels, Belgium and founded the group Maniac Maison with her partner, pianist Casimir Liberski, and guitarist Lucien Fraipont.
 
Since 2018, Shoko has written and compiled a series of well-crafted, colourful electronic
songs curating diverse influences such as Sly and the Family Stone, Earth Wind & fire,
Japanese City-Pop, 70s jazz fusion, and the anime film music that she grew up learning to play. Her nimble and seamless assembly of these very different elements into her unique sound is astonishingly natural. 
In addition to her primary group Maniac Maison, Shoko worked with Belgian synth-pop band Telex’s founding member and producer Dan Lacksman on her first official solo Album. Her first Electro pop album released from Tigersushi records on May 2022.

DJ since 1992, Pepperpot has been one of the key figures of the French electronic music scene. Exclusively dedicating to playing music for over 2 decades he has shared the decks with the most highly regarded global artists across all the shades of electronic music.

His passion for sound is uniquely projected through the depth, breadth and power of the music he plays. Spinning and blending a slew of deeply complex, organic electronic rhythms from the worlds of House, Minimal and Techno, he captures and directs the dancefloor in a way that only a truly experienced DJ can.

As resident of the legendary REX CLUB in Paris for 8 years, his influence has had a subtle yet profound impact on the scene, and his work has been instrumental in the city’s revival as an electronic music mecca.

Adapting his sound to fit the atmosphere and size of his audience, Pepperpot feels equally comfortable playing in front of thousands at a festival, or at the focal point of an intimate after party.

Since 2016 he has dedicated himself to the sandstone bedrock of Sydney, Australia – holding a residency at Sydney's premiere Sunday event - S*A*S*H and the pinnacle of Australia's festival calendar - Subsonic Music Festival. Aside to this, Pepperpot has continued flying his Parisian brand – Hello, where he has hosted a growing list of underground acts on a regular basis in Sydney. Making his presence felt around the Southern Hemisphere, his schedule also includes a residency for Transit in New Caledonia, as well as regular appearances in Bali, Fiji and New Zealand.

Pepperpot has also attached his name to various artistic collaborations, releasing tracks on major labels such as Silver Network, Serialism and Kaato Music.
