DJ KOCO AKA SHIMOKITA x JIM SHARP
Since sharing a stage at Koco’s first European appearance in 2018, these two of the Kings of the 45s scene from opposite sides of the globe connect for a tour of musicality, turntablism, exclusive and elusive records to rock crowds across Europe.
DJ KOCO AKA SHIMOKITA
Vinyl collectors the world over and fans of great deejaying alike know Japan’s DJ Koco aka Shimokita. He first started spinning 45s in 2011 and since uploading his first Instagram video in 2017 cutting up and juggling two 7 inch records, his meteoric rise to prominence has been amazing to witness. Koco’s technical abilities are near flawless and combined with his digging skills, impeccable taste in music and the palatable pure joy with which he plays, he is mesmerising to watch. And the right people have been taking notice.
With prestigious live appearances under his belt such as the Do-Over Tokyo, the Vinyl Destination Tour with DJ Jazzy Jeff and Bastid’s BBQ Taipei. He’s also turned in some legendary online streams such as DJ Scratch’s “Scratchvision”, Boiler Room x Dommune x Technics: A Celebration of 50 Years of the SL-1200 and the Glitterbox Virtual Festival – which Defected Records declared was the DJ set of the year
The way in which Koco commands a stage and DJ booth with dope skills and infectious enjoyment makes an unforgettable experience for those in attendance.
JIM SHARP
Jim Sharp is one of the premier remixers within the 45 game. Over the past decade, he has earned a reputation amongst deejays around the world as a sure shot go-to for his edits and remixes in their vinyl or digital crates, receiving plays and support from the likes of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Skratch Bastid and Kenny Dope to name a few. Jim’s sizeable discography of releases have continually been at the top of the Juno, HHV (Germany) and Disk Union (Japan) best seller charts. Jim has played events such as Bastid’s BBQ, Lovebox and toured Europe extensively. As a 30 year veteran of the DJ game, he is equally adept behind the turntables as he is behind the mixing board, putting his battle tested skills to use rocking a crowd.
