City Pop: Shibuya Meltdown

A Tokyo-themed Halloween party featuring Japanese horror movies, a costume contest, free gift bags with 7” records, t-shirts, mixtapes, plushies, and more (while supplies last) 💀

In honor of Shibuya’s legendary Halloween street parties, we’re bringing the spirit of Shibuya to Chicago with @Vanpaugam, @Kadobara, and special guests playing everything from classic halloween hits to Japanese disco and beyond—the only vibe will be to dance 🎃

Costumes with a Japanese horror or anime theme highly encouraged, and required to receive a limited edition ‘Spit in my mouth’ gift bag! Expect a raucous evening that will leave you spirited away 🌬️

Van Paugam and Kadobara borrow from their extensive collection of vintage Japanese vinyl to present a night of timeless grooves from Japan's neon-drenched bubble era.

City pop is a captivating and multifaceted genre that emerged in Japan during the late 1970s and reached its peak in the 1980s. Characterized by its fusion of various musical elements, city pop encapsulates a sophisticated blend of jazz, funk, soul, and pop, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
