Kagami

KAGAMI is a Cosmic Funk project from the Netherlands, founded by producer duo Lucas Sim and Rotem Gerad. Drawing from their backgrounds in jazz, disco, and electronic music, they create a sound influenced by French Touch and Japanese City Pop. Their compositions blend rich instrumentation with electronic production, featuring live basslines, synth-driven grooves, and smooth vocal melodies inspired by artists like Daft Punk and Tatsuro Yamashita. With a rotating lineup of musicians, KAGAMI brings their music to life on stage, offering a dynamic performance that combines classic and contemporary influences. Their energetic live performances have turned heads at major events, including North Sea Jazz Festival, Metropolis Festival, and a sold-out show at Paradiso. Their debut EP, PHASE 1, gained national and international radio play, from NPO2 in the Netherlands to Japan’s J-WAVE, where Friends and Little Bit landed on DJ Taro's prestigious Spotify editorial playlist. Last year KAGAMI reached #25 on Tokyo’s J-WAVE Top 100, further cementing their growing presence in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, alongside a strong streaming audience in the U.S. and Europe.
