hello everyone, i am looking to hook up with any promoters/dj's/electronic music enthusiasts in japan. i am planning a trip there for the month of september and would love to line up some work while i'm there. i haven't set any sort of itinerary yet and am totally open to suggestions that people might want to make regarding some places to see (or not to see) and go. i can dj and/or do a live set. i'd prefer a fusion of both but depending on the availability of equipment it might have to be dj only since travelling with loads of gear is a total pain in the ass. i have been spinning for about 15 years and play mainly down tempo music with a lot of dub influences. some groups i love (and play) are autechre, FSOL, photek, namlook, gas, tomorrowland, mouse on mars, porter ricks, pole, scanner, plastikman/hawtin, eno, r.h. kirk/cabs, cylob, herbert and anything on ninja tune and tons more in a similar vein. back in the day i was known for my new wave sets and still like to drop them now and again. for the retro stuff, i like kraftwerk, new order, depeche, duran, the cure, YMO, roxy music. once in a while i will fuse all of my influences into a set of new and old which tends to be a lot of fun! i would be willing to play either style in japan and i know that retro 80's music is making a huge revival all over the place. i have mixed tapes/cds of my sets and cd's of my original material so if anyone has the hookups for dj'ing, live stuff or radio shows (or even if you would just want to hang out and talk about electronic music) in the past i have played all over canada, the us.and australia. i am not looking for much money. i more enjoy the experience of meeting cool people and playing the music that i love. thanks in advance, derek... peace, love and ambience. d... x@xxxxxx.xx www.toclo.com/~orbital www.mp3.com/figital
