Deja Vu

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Without a doubt, one of Almighty’s biggest acts, with a string of club smashes to their credit, is Deja Vu Featuring Tasmin. The band who’ve been together for less than two years have already scored four Pop-Tip top 20 hits and have recently, rather fantastically, enjoyed their first American single in the US Billboard Top 75!

Sketch Show

For fans of the world renowned YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra), Sketch Show is surely a treat. It reunites two of YMO's members (Yukihiro Takahashi and Haruomi Hosono). You could say it is somewhat all three of the members of YMO together because Ryuichi Sakamoto also does some of the co-writing on various Sketch Show tracks. Sketch Show's music is an expansion on the sound of YMO. But Takahashi and Hosono like to get a bit more on the abstract side. Clicks and beeps make most of the background production of the music.
