Asahi Super Dry Partners With Resident Advisor to Present One-of-a-Kind Virtual Music Experience, Discover Tokyo

TORRANCE, Calif., March 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With real life club experiences still on hold, Asahi Super Dry, the product known for its premium Karakuchi taste that transformed the modern beer market in Japan, today announced it will be partnering with Resident Advisor and Club Qu to create Discover Tokyo, the world's first virtual music experience with spatial audio. On March 26th, attendees will be taken on a 45 minute journey through 3 iconic Japanese experiences; virtual worlds that represent progressive Tokyo: a neon-lit city street, a digital art gallery and a nightclub. Discover Tokyo will be highly interactive, giving attendees the opportunity to interact with each new location, chat with other viewers, and even order beer at the virtual bar. The event will kick off at midnight PST and runs on a loop for 24 hours. The digital experience will be soundtracked with brand-new, original music composed by these world-class artists:

DJ Nobu

• Dj Nobu is quite simply Japan's best DJ. As Japan's biggest musical export in the electronic arena, there aren't many artists that better represent Asia than DJ Nobu. An artist who has headlined some of the world's best festivals in recent years, including Dekmantel and Sonar.

Honey Dijon

• Chicago-born, Honey Dijon is a legend in both the music and fashion worlds. A name that brings in the crowd at every event she graces and the most recognisable WOC in dance music. In 2018 she was part of one of the most-viewed Boiler-room sets of all-time at Sugar Mountain festival in Australia. In 2020, she released her second album, Black Girl Magic, to critical acclaim.

Kerri Chandler

• One of the world's greatest house music producers of all time. Kerri 'Kaoz' Chandler is an icon in the scene and a pioneer of thumping Chicago house. A huge addition to the line up, closing us out with a roster of 3 world-class headliners.

Each artist has prepared a special track that will be played during the three scenes. DJ Nobu with a live recorded track that conveys the rawness and vitality of traveling the streets of Tokyo. Honey Dijon will unveil her original track during the art gallery portion and notes she has produced something ambient and hypnotic to fit the theme. Kerri Chandler will soundtrack the club scene and has used all his experiences with Tokyo Dance Crews in the past to inspire his original tune.

"We're excited to sponsor this event which will showcase not only the amazing city where Asahi operates from, but also the talented artists who have worked hard to capture the spirit of Tokyo" said Derek VanTine, VP, Commercial Operations at Asahi Beer USA. "Tokyo has an incredible culture, and we love that we have the chance to pair these incredible artists with some wonderfully themed art to deliver an immersive experience across the globe. Asahi is looking forward to continuing to promote emerging artists as we set the groundwork for future partnerships in the world of music."
