PELI
Peli Growing up, PELI was exposed to a lot of ‘80s sounds thanks to her music-loving music parents. She later discovered hip-hop and then reggae, ska, punk, rock’n’ roll, swing and various other genres. Among these, she developed a particular fondness for rockabilly and early punk, both of which express the spirit of the times in which they emerged. Besides her deejaying exploits, PELI also works as a stylist, mostly for fashion Magazines Vogue Japan, Nylon Japan, as well on music videos for music acts. Her love for ‘80s and ‘50s styles- in terms of both fashion and music, and the way she mixes them with a refreshing sense of period- have hit a chord with the fashionista crowd in Tokyo, making her one of the most-in-demand DJs for hipster parties. In Shinjuku’s Ni Chome district, which for PELI is a home from home, she is resident DJ at regular event GIRL FRIEND at MOTEL #203 as well as other parties such as ‘GIRL FRIEND’, fancy HIM’, H&M, MIU MIU, Louis Vuitton, where she is worshipped as a style icon. Borderless and genderless, her idiosyncratic DJSTYLE – characterized as « hard farytale ».
