⚠️🚧 Our next featured artist, performing exclusively at our KYOSAI companion event… Maozon! 🚧⚠️

Born in Japan and raised amidst gaming culture, Maozon was deeply influenced by a rhythm game featuring club music, which led him to embark on his own musical journey.

Heavily inspired by trance music in his early days, he began producing music, gradually expanding his genre repertoire.

What About VIP?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

We’ve had a lot of questions about VIP, Gold, or Fast Pass tiers and while we’re absolutely planning these for 2027, we made the decision to focus on building a solid, unforgettable first-year event without overloading our team or overpromising perks.

When we do offer premium options, we want them to deliver real value, not just a name. So for 2026, there are no VIP tiers, just one great shared experience for everyone.
