As anticipation builds for FFKT, the highly anticipated music festival set to take place on September 27–28, 2025, overlooking the emerald-green shores of Shirahama Beach from the scenic Hotel Izu Kyū, a special pre-event will be held at Tokyo’s new venue, ZERO-SITE. Headlining the evening is a visionary producer KNOPHA from China’s contemporary dance music scene—renowned for a genre-defying approach and a continual pursuit of new sonic territories. In addition to his own productions, he also runs BAIHUI, a community radio platform that showcases emerging talents across Asia, positioning him as a central figure in the region’s musical landscape. He recently garnered attention for his contribution to Fujii Kaze’s remix EP, Kirari Remixes (Asia Edition), where his reinterpretation “Kirari (Knopha Remix / Amoy)” brought an alternative R&B sensibility to the beloved track. Also performing are Chanaz, a Kyoto-based artist with a boundaryless approach to sound, active around West Harlem and beyond; and CMYK, a Tokyo-based music selector who seamlessly weaves diverse musical backgrounds into a cohesive narrative. Join us for a night where music, space, and people converge—an early glimpse into the world of FFKT, unfolding within the atmospheric setting of ZERO-SITE.
