Leo's first July show opens with The Femcels asking the big question: what if your footwear choices destroy your love life? From there, The Leaf Library, Hora Lunga, HYPER GAL and Carla dal Forno attempt to restore order, with limited success.

Along the way, Mt. Gemini gets pleasantly altered, ATFK gets remixed, and upsammy & Valentina Magaletti remind us that everything ends eventually. A Place to Bury Strangers, Meitei and De Ambassade seem oddly prepared for this news.

Expect body doors, chlorine fumes, living people and cumgirl8's version of "Karma Police", because normal programming was cancelled years ago. Crack Cloud offers a Safe Room while Sleaford Mods arrive riding an acid thunderstorm.

The final stretch features crash landings, bastard states, doves, pigeons, gunslingers, giraffes and Greg Saunier attempting to rip the atmosphere from the wind.

Business as usual, then.

Meitei - KYŪGEKI
Meitei

Powered by Audioscrobbler™Meitei (Japanese: 冥丁) is a Japanese artist who started out as a freelance composer, making various kinds of music across genres. Having done it for 8 years, his goal was to eventually release his own original music.

Living in Kyoto for the past two years has deeply influenced his current sound, which is a focus on musically crafting a “Japanese mood” called Meitei (thus, his name). Rich in history, Meitei wanted to borrow this lost “Japanese mood” and incorporate a contemporary spin on it. This led to the creation of his 2018 debut Kwaidan (怪談).

Kwaidan is a style of Japanese ghost stories. Meitei took it as a challenge of his skill as a musician to transpose the folklore into intricate compositions, capturing this lost “Japanese mood”. “The shocking elements in the horror have become a staple. It’s functions as entertainment. But I personally felt the mood and ambience from Kwaidan is starting to wither – while the darkness is scary, the beauty is in the curious spirit”

Kwaidan was followed in 2019 by "Komachi".
