On June 2, French electronic label and fashion boutique Kitsuné and Chicago’s Beauty Bar team up to present the Kitsuné America compilation release party, featuring White Shadow, Giraffage, and Hey Champ (DJ set). After conquering parts of Asia and Europe, the growing label thought it was time to get closer to America. Thus Kitsuné America is the first of its compilations to extensively showcase American acts, all up-and-coming indie/dance artists. They are also opening a boutique in New York this April.
