Tune in Tokyo is an internationally touring, Los Angeles based promoter & DJ team specializing in Citypop, J-pop, K-pop, and more.

Tune in Tokyo exists to provide music education to the masses, to encourage people to dig just a little deeper, and to push people to explore new sounds outside of their native culture.

Tune in Tokyo was founded by Greg Hignight and Del Martin in 2008 amidst the burgeoning global interest in East Asian pop. They were the first to produce recurring nightlife events in Los Angeles that highlighted Japanese and Korean music.

Today, after the retirement of Del Martin in 2017 and the sudden passing of Greg Hignight in 2022, the spirit and legacy lives on. Tune in Tokyo is celebrated for producing LA's premier City Pop event, Plastic City. Debuting at Bicycle Coffee in 2018, Plastic City quickly rose in popularity and relocated to The Lash the following year.

Despite The Lash's closure in January of 2023, Plastic City has continued to be held as a pop up event at many locations both local and international.

In addition to participating in and sometimes co-organizing various local, out-of-state, and international events, Tune in Tokyo continues to produce it’s own range of themed events focusing on the promotion of Japanese and Korean music from the 1970’s to now. This includes Shibuya Starlight, Heisei Nights, Meguro Midnight Showa Archive Radio, Showa Sundays, and Hongdae Hustle.

Our current generation of team members come from a wide range of professional backgrounds and specialties weaving together a rich tapestry of musical styles and technical expertise.
