3K@ GOGO CARAT 2010 3.20

Myself and Paul have been lucky enough to be invited to DJ at Mugen at this year's GOGO CARAT event in Hiroshima. You can read all about it in English on GetHiroshima.

We're on the same bill as Rob Smith (RSD, Smith and Mighty, More Rockers), Juzu AKA Moochy and 1945 AKA Kuranaka, on the 3rd floor at Mugen.

I couldn't go to this last year so am really looking forward to it. Check out the flickr images from last year : PART 1 PART 2

I'll let you know more details as soon as I know any more.

Read about it in 日本語　here.

Please Give has a release date now

Please Give, the movie which will feature my track Apathetic seems to have finally got a release date of April 23rd and is, according to this article, number 85 in the top 100 (yes, 100) anticipated movies of 2010 :snigger:

Anyway, nice to see it isn't just a figment of my imagination, and, now there are some pics up on it's imdb page I was pleased to see I do actually know some of the actors who are in it.

The track Apapthetic is available from all good record stores.

As long as those records stores are named Beatpick or Dangerous Drums Records @ Beatport or Juno download .

Happy New Year!

It's always a let down isn't it?

My first New Year's Eve in town in Japan and I had a ball.

Really didn't know how it was going to pan out but Edge was great, popped into the Shack, back to Edge and then over to my second home, Cover.

It didn't disappoint :)

Hope everyone has a fantastic 2010. I'm cautiously optimistic...

Anyway, here's that mix I hinted at in the previous post. You can download it or stream it, the decision is yours.

Enjoy, and 明けましておめでとうございます！！

Phestive Phun

As the year draws to a close and as the day work winds down nicely I've got one last busy weekend with my WC hat on on the cards.

First up is Friday night and the monthly FROIDE event at Cover. Always good fun, I ALWAYS have work the next day. But not this weekend :) Hosted by the brilliant Rinn, and also featuring fellow 3K-er Little Foreigner (or whatever his DJ moniker is at the moment) I intend to let my hair down on a Friday for a change. There's no charge ofcourse.

Then on Sunday it's that other monthly event 'Hug a Speaker', this time over at Mugen. It's a special Bounenkai edition this week and there's even a guest DJ, so could well be a bit lively. Starts at 10pm, not that anyone gets there at that time.

Hopefully see some of you out and about.

Up on Juno Download

My Dangerous Drums EP is up on Juno Download too and it seems they have the better offer if you want all 7 tracks ;)

Get it Here.

DDD release now available on Beatport

My first release on Dangerous Drums Digital is now available on Beatport.

New Mix - Berlin>Hiroshima>Aug2009

This August was rounded off VERY nicely with the Mugen 3rd anniversary party. Bloody hell it was loud. In a good way. Brilliant sound from the guest sound systems I got a bit of a shock when I walked in to find the 2nd floor rammed. Bit nervous but it went really well and I had a blast.

September tomorrow and to celebrate this summers DJing activities here's a mix of some of my favourite tracks from this year. No fancy tricks, just the tunes. Hope you enjoy. Back to producing now. Hopefully.

AUG2009>BERLIN>HIROSHIMA>MIX

Mugen 3rd Anniversary Party

....and after claiming I was going to get back to being a producer after just DJing the last 2-3 months....I'm DJing this Saturday at the Mugen 3rd Anniversary party. Representing the Hug a Speaker corner I'll be on at 3.30am in the downstairs bit (2F)

If you are out and about pop in, it's free if you're a lady (2000Yen if not).

Should be a good night though.

Europe 2009

I've been on holiday. Quite a long one. A month infact and it was a lorra lorra fun.

First off did the UK thing. No surprises there really although after 8 years away the rain/sun/rain/sun/rain/sun all in one day weather was bizarre.

Next up was Spain. First time in six years, it was great to catch up with family and be in Galicia again. My waistline was/is groaning under the diest of cheese, jamon, chorizo and Estrella Galicia. Still, I can't complain.

Lastly and by no means leastly I headed for Berlin, Germany with my windcheater hat on to do a bit of DJing and hook up with friends and label owners Corin and Vela. It was my first time in Germany and if you haven't been I highly recommend Berlin to anyone. Maybe cos it was August and people were away had something to do with the chilled out nature of the place, I don't know but it was all just so, relaxed. Even the cars seemed to be saying; It's fine, I don't have to be anywhere in a hurry, wander out into the street when you feel like it..

Throw in some fascinating history too and you've got one great city. Gigs went well, beer was drank, more old friends met and finally I limped back to Hiroshima.

So back to normal. Time to get producing again after a couple of months of just DJing, although having said that, hopefully see some of you out and about when I am behind the decks in town.

3K@Cover This Sunday 19th

3K are off to Berlin this August to hook up again with our friends at Dangerous Drums and play 4 or 5 dates there. I can not wait.

So to celebrate that (and get some practice in), the future releases of mine on Dangerous Drums Digital and the fact that once it turns midnight it's my birthday, we'll be at Enjoint Bar Cover. All night long I expect.

We'll be playing the usual stuff. If you haven't been to Cover before, don't be put off by it's size, it can be one of the best nights out in Hiroshima.

@Cover tonight

from about 11....

Like this video. Never seen it before. The track is a remix so it doesn't quite fit with the images like the original does. Prefer this version though.

Been Slacksville Arizona with this one; We are at Lotus tonight. 10pm - 3am or later.... Me and Paul will be DJing and it's his birthday so pop in and buy him a drink :)

Cover Bar Tonight - 12th June

Am DJing a bit tonight at Cover. From about 10ish, it's free ofcourse.

Tenor Fly - The Wickedest Sound: Stereo

haven't had a youtube post in a while....The Rebel MC!

Still sounds great, 18 years on

All done....

I've been working round the clock to bring music to the masses the last month. Well not quite round the clock or to any kind of mass but I did have a kind of deadline and 3 tracks to get ready and by george, I did it.

Of greatest interest to anyone with any kind of interest in what I do is the new remix I have just done of Apathetic. Thought I'd have a go at reinterpreting it to celebrate it's cinematic release and I'm kind of happy with the results. You can see what you think for yourself by shooting your chuff over to this link. Comments are always welcome. If you are living in the dark ages and have some kind of slow connection you might want to try my MySpace. There's a nasty 160kbps version on the player there.

You can also have a listen to the finished version of Ooh Yeah. Just a tighter mix. Nothing too exciting, just no bongos panning all over the shop :)

All these tracks should be getting released in the next few months. I will ofcourse post up details when I get them. I am now off to try and hold a beer in my RSI ravaged hand....

DEADSTOCK @ Mugen - Fri 22nd May

After drunkenly falling around behind the decks at Mugen last Sunday it will be nice to return and restore some pride this coming Friday at DEADSTOCK.

Me and GHB did this event a while back and apart from the fact it's on a Friday (work the next day, bleurgh) it's a lot of fun. Or it has been the couple of times I have been.

Starts at 10pm.

It's a￥１０００ to get in and you get a drink with that.

Come on down, the beats are right.
