Call for Participants: “DJ de Night? #6” – Celebrate the End of 2025 with a Vinyl-Only Set and a Custom JICO Stylus

Feel Records Kyoto Hanare is pleased to announce the sixth installment of its seasonal analog DJ event, “DJ de Night?”. As the final edition of the year, we are seeking individuals who are passionate about vinyl to join us in closing 2025 with a night of music, connection, and analog sound.

This event welcomes DJs of all skill levels and musical backgrounds. Whether you are performing publicly for the first time, returning to the booth after a hiatus, or simply looking to share your favorite records in a relaxed and supportive environment, we encourage you to apply.

About the Event

“DJ de Night?” is a community-centered event designed to foster a shared appreciation for vinyl culture. It offers an intimate setting where people can come together through the simple joy of playing and listening to records. The atmosphere is warm, inclusive, and grounded in a love for analog sound.

Earlier this year, several past participants came together at Kyoto’s iconic club METRO for our anniversary event, “METRO de Night?”, held in celebration of Kyoto Hanare’s first year. The night was a testament to the community that has formed through “DJ de Night?”, with DJs and attendees united through music and vinyl.

Exclusive Gift for Performers

As a token of appreciation, all selected performers will receive a limited-edition JICO 44-7DJ stylus, custom-engraved with their DJ name. This personalized stylus, featuring JICO’s renowned quality and craftsmanship, is a unique memento available only to participants of “DJ de Night?”.

We invite you to create a meaningful close to your year—share your sound, connect through vinyl, and take part in an event dedicated to the art of analog DJing.
