STGCC will be
featuring three prominent DJs from Japan, each
highly-regarded for their work in the different realms of Japanese music – Anisong,
Touhou and Vocaloid.
Inu, D.watt and sasakure.UK will be handling the stage on the first night of the

latest hits from popular Japanese games and anime! Thus, we can anticipate
STGCC DJ Night for being able to teleport fans of anime and games to Japan.

STGCC, namely – Humberto Ramos, who is well acquainted with Spiderman, Alex Solis, the father of “The Famous Chunkies” featuring oversized
superheroes, and Simone Legno, the creator of the popular tokidoki
