It was another great year, and we at No Brand Con want to thank you all for attending!

As you may know, going to a new location can always be a challenge for a convention, but thanks to you all, it went very well!
Our staff want to thank all the great volunteers who gave their time to make it go so very well, you guys are No Brand Heroes, and we can’t wait to see you next year!
Of course, what is a convention without attendees; we wanted to extend a thank you to all of you. We didn’t break the hotel, and there was lots of fun had!

Lets do it again!
Next year’s dates:
April 21st through the 23rd!

See you again at the Chula Vista!

Notorious American J-Pop/K-Pop Remixer, Composer, Skilled Instrumentalist, and Producer, DJ Amaya began making waves when he started introducing audiences to Japanese dance music at anime conventions across the USA, which led to him playing shows in Japan, Singapore, and Sweden as well. Along the way he released 4 full length albums of original music, collaborated with Japanese artists, and has been commissioned to produce tracks and remixes for artists around the globe. With a career spanning over 15 years, it appears we still haven’t even seen his final form.

Andre Smith, better known under the alias ‘Jinrei’ (pronounced JIN-RAY), broke into the scene in 2005, working under the long-running promotion ‘Nostalgia.LA’ with his live mixing on vinyl. Jinrei is originally from Bristol, England, and grew up partially here in the US, in a Korean district of San Francisco where he became involved in Korean music, and then later Japanese dance pop, which was one of the biggest influences on his work. Later, working with other promotions and headlining DJs, Jinrei mastered his craft with everything EDM, from dance fusions to French house with Japanese/Korean original remixes. Having done shows with Cosmic Gate, DJ Amaya, ZEDD, DJ Diamond, Steve Aoki, and many more big names, as well as running his own nights in LA, OC, and Vegas, Jinrei has become a well-seasoned veteran in putting people on the dance floor, whether setting the mood lounge-style, or hitting the room with rare bangers for a high-energy crowd.
