Overview

The minute Big Love record store in Harajuku, Tokyo is plastered with posters of Danish noise-punk bands and hanging from the ceiling is a football scarf emblazoned with the name of the Copenhagen-based label recognized with nurturing primal talent, Posh Isolation. Taped to the grubby white walls is the line-up of the turbulent two-day festival 13 Torches for a Burn, held earlier this year in Los Angeles to celebrate five years of the label, co-founded by Loke Rahbek, then 16 years old.
