He has also solidified his presence as a new-generation icon bridging pop and hip-hop through a string of hits including “Without You” and “Go.”
In 2026, his latest release BEFORE I FORGET broke into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, while his A PERFECT WORLD TOUR also got underway.

In addition to performing at some of the world’s leading festivals, including EDC, Ultra, Tomorrowland, and Coachella, he has amassed over 12 billion streams worldwide. With consecutive Top 20 rankings in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs since 2017 and more than 100 diamond, platinum, and gold certifications, R3HAB stands as one of the defining artists of today’s dance music scene.

Afterlife has earned widespread acclaim as an iconic platform that brings together groundbreaking artists and overwhelmingly immersive production, selling out events around the world, including its nine-week residency in Ibiza as well as shows in Amsterdam, Madrid, Milan, Abu Dhabi, and Tulum.
Against the backdrop of that grand aesthetic, MRAK has captivated fans worldwide as a project that ventures into a more personal, experimental, and introspective realm.

“Don’t You Worry Child” reached the Top 10 on the Billboard chart and became a generation-defining anthem across the globe. Through collaborations with leading artists including Avicii, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, ARTBAT, Steve Aoki, and Timmy Trumpet, John Martin has established himself as a powerful presence in the electronic music scene.

MR.BLACK, on the other hand, is an artist who embodies “future psytrance,” crossing psy, techno, and rave. He has made a powerful impact on major stages around the world, including Tomorrowland and Ultra, and has pioneered a new movement with his distinctive sound.
*Please note that VINI VICI will be represented by Aviram only for this performance.

In 2019, he launched the Showa Groove series, reinterpreting Showa-era Japanese pop through the lens of contemporary dance music. The series has updated numerous classics by artists such as Wink, Anri, 1986 Omega Tribe, Miki Matsubara, Momoko Kikuchi, and Kyoko Koizumi.
He has also released major-label original albums including Ladies In The City, Neo Standard, and Connection. His long-awaited fourth major original album is scheduled for release in autumn 2026.

In 2020, he joined the creative unit PKCZ®, and in recent years has been actively expanding his work as a DJ/producer. Following his overseas solo debut on Dutch label STMPD RCRDS and an Asia tour across five countries and eight cities, he ranked No.127 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs in 2025 — the only Japanese artist on the list. More recently, his original track was featured during DJ Snake × RL Grime × Flosstradamus’ set at Coachella, further expanding his presence on the global stage.

Rooted in gospel and Afrobeats, his sound moves freely across hip-hop, trap, and hyperpop, creating a borderless style of his own.
With the ability to switch effortlessly between Japanese and English, plus a one-of-a-kind character shaped by his Kansai dialect, he continues to captivate listeners in Japan and beyond.

Since 2024, he has also been focusing on his work as a producer. His releases quickly gained support from world-class DJs, further raising his profile as an artist.
In 2025, he released music on Days Like Nights, a label under Armada Music, led by Armin van Buuren.
In 2026, he launched his own party, “CARNIVAL,” at ZEROTOKYO. Built around the concept of club culture for mature, refined adults with a sophisticated sense of value, the party is bringing a fresh new energy to Tokyo’s night scene.
