Born in Japan and now based in Vancouver, Kozue moved to the west coast in 2019 after years spent in Toronto, New York, Montreal, and Berlin absorbing the specificity of each city’s dance music culture. A vinyl DJ rooted in house, deep house, techno, and disco, she held a monthly residency at Bar Diamond and launched Resound — an audio-visual DJ showcase on Bside Radio — in 2023. Her sets are known for patience and precision: expansive journeys that feel both intimate and inevitable.

5 Nights in Paradise is a late-night series at Ocean Artworks on Granville Island, running across five evenings of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Co-presented by UV, Paradise Cultural Society, and Coastal Jazz, the series brings together some of the most respected selectors and performers from Vancouver’s soulful underground and independent music communities — artists rooted in the city who have spent years shaping its dance floors, record culture, and DIY creative scene.
