Having had its 12th anniversary last year, Denki Groove/Takkyu Ishino's monthly techno party STERNE is celebrating its 13th anniversary. At previous anniversary parties, artists that Takkyu had taken particular notice of were invited, but this time BUTCH, a German techno/house scene artist who appeared in WIRED CLASH last September, will perform. Last year, he released a big hit single under the LOCO DICE label and he is constantly releasing new works under a number of labels such as Ricardo Villalobos' Sei Es Drum. This artist who is always busy with work lately will come to Japan to lend his presence to the anniversary. Also, the present that has been customary since STERNE's first anniversary is in the works, so please look forward to that as well.
