N'toko: "Ex Shanti / Future Shanti" Release Party

Fashion Crisis and Call And Response Records present Slovenian alternative electro hip hop superstar N'toko for the opening night of his 2011 Japan tour.

N'toko's album "Ex Shanti / Future Shanti", released by Call And Response last autumn, was one of two N'toko albums in Slovenian alternative radio's top five of 2010. For a sampler, you can hear the song he named after our event, "Fashion Crisis" (featuring Kim from Uhnellys) here:
