OWLS RULE. 

The label "abend kollektiv" was evolved in 2011 from techno party "abend" which started in 1999. 
Our basic colour is TECHNO in the broadest sense of the word, and as long as it's electronic music with a dance element, there are no restrictions on the form of our expression. The tempo of the releases is very gradual. Like an owl on the hunt, if something catches our fancy, we immediately take action, if not, we wait quietly and patiently for the right moment.

Mai Takemura is a Japanese techno DJ whose journey began in Tokyo before relocating to Hong Kong in 2010 to focus on music production. In 2013, she released her debut EP on Greece’s Modu Records, marking the start of a series of works that have since been showcased across Europe.  

Her career spans remix collaborations and dynamic DJ performances, including a contribution to the 3rd anniversary of Innervision Radio in Greece, where she was featured among 100 DJs worldwide. Returning to Japan in 2019, Takemura continued to expand her international presence.

SEKITOVA
DJ/Producer born in Osaka on a new year’s day of 1995.  

Even before he was born, he already had a prenatal influence such as Joey Beltram and Dave Angel and was exposed to various electronic music who is literally from a second generation. He had so much influence other than techno, and with a motto "Techno is not a genre but an attitude to face it." in his heart, his music selection goes beyond genre and is focused on story-telling. 2013 was a break-through year for him. He was booked for main stage of Big Beach Festival and not only that, he was constantly invited to monster techno party Clash held at ageHa. In 2014, 3-hour-long SEKITOVA ONLY program was streamed on DOMMUNE by Naohiro Ukawa in collaboration with his first ever self organized party which was on a good note. He also made appearances at wide range of parties from first edition of Ultra Japan by Ultra Music Festival to Wired Clash which is a collaboration party of Wire and Clash as well as main floor of Womb in Shibuya for its 15th anniversary showing his steady progress in his career in the scene.  

On December 5th, 2012 his first album "premature moon and the shooting star" was released from his own label and since then it was highly acclaimed by many top artists such as Yoshinori Sunahara, Dj Sodeyama, Hideo Kobayashi to name a few. It was ranked in Top10 on iTunes electronic chart and 6th in Music Magazine's 2013 best under techno/house/breakbeats section. Making the most of his position on the scene, he has remixed many tracks beyond different fields such as track by Maya Jane Coles and game "Persona" series music by Atlas and many more. His work "Formal Strip" released from Sugiurumn's label BassWorks Recordings was ranked 2nd in Wasabeat's techno chart, remix of Fake Eyes Production's single "Bad Girl" co-worked with Taar was ranked 9th on iTunes electoronic song chart.　And their EP that includes the track was ranked as no.1 in album chart.   Some exciting projects are waiting to be shared - original track featuring Chisato Moritaka and his track "Formal Strip" being remixed by Rush Hour's Dr. San Proper.  Ele-King's editor Tsutomu Noda described him as "A bright star of Japanese club culture's future" and he has, no doubt, already become one of the essential key persons in the scene.
