Bringing Retro Culture to You!
November 12, 2020

Close your curtains, turn on the neon lights and put on your spandex, for an exclusive livestream DJ set with South Korean producer Night Tempo. Join us for 2 hours of city pop to future funk and get nostalgic!

Jung Kyung-ho, who goes by the name of Night Tempo, has been creating music since 2015. Describing his music as future funk, a subgenre of vaporwave, Night Tempo samples 1970 and 80s Japanese music from cassettes with the desire to evoke warm fuzzy feelings of nostalgia. His love for 1980s retro culture, especially Japanese city pop, has helped propel the genre into the contemporary music landscape. One of his most notable contributions to the recent resurgence of city pop is his 2016 remaster of Mariya Takeuchi’s Plastic Love which, to this day, has over 40 million views on YouTube. His 2019 album, 夜韻 Night Tempo features cover art by acclaimed Japanese artist Hiroshi Nagai, the subject of The Japan Foundation, Sydney’s current exhibition, Hiroshi Nagai: Paintings for Music.
