| Kitsune - Gildas e Masaya (FR) |
Friday, May 2, 2008Gildas and Masaya, founders of Kitsuné
Kitsuné, the Franco-Japanese company has been cleverly bridging music, fashion and design since 2002 with their first record release Funkin for Jamaica by ex-Dee-Lite DJ Towa Tei. The young and unique brand Kitsuné is the brainchild of Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki who not only direct operations of the company’s music, and fashion (retail and design) operations, but are also a fine pair of DJs – an activity that’s proven essential in running what is arguably the most exciting record labels in the world today. Since the original Funkin debut, Kitsuné have gone on to sign cutting-edge acts like Digitalism, Klaxons, Simian Mobile Disco, and Hot Chip all having released massive tracks on the Kitsuné Music label, which now has over 70 releases as well as a series of very popular Maison Kitsuné compilations. After consistently rocking the coolest parties from London to Tokyo via Reykjavik and New York, Gildas and Masaya are celebrating the release of their latest DJ mix album Paris with a very special CD launch party at Club Bonbon, Shanghai . What is underground today will be mainstream tomorrow, and Kitsuné are here to prove it. At a time when so many record labels are closing down, Kitsuné’s turnover continues to grow and with without concessions towards commercialism. 2008 is already a banner year, and Kitsuné are celebrating the opening of their own retail shop in Paris as well as the release of their latest tracks by New Yorkers Fischerspooner and a brand new single by Cazals entitled Somebody Somewhere. It’s the continued success of the entire series of Maison Kitsuné DJ mix CDs, with eclectic mixes and mashups of rock, pop and electro that truly defines this quite undefinable duo, especially when they are behind the decks.

The founders of Kitsuné, Gildas and Masaya take a break from the daily operations of their record label and fashion brand to cut loose at a very special event marking the release of their latest DJ mix CD Paris at Shanghai Club Bonbon on Friday May 2, 2008.
