His style keeps evolving and defies categorization.
He formed NXS in 1999.
NXS is a session project carried by the core player Juzu a.k.a. Moochy.
NXS combines cross-over, clash, fusion, sound effects and vibes that combine
impromptu and programmed performance producing a one-of-a-kind sound.
NXS began with a session at Liquid Room in Shinjuku in 1999 that included a
performance by Mad Professor. Also in 1999 NXS recorded its first joint
session with Naoyuki Uchida(Dry&Heavy). NXS released Sleeper, a remix album
that featured Toshio Kajiwara& DJ Olive (NY), EYE (Boredoms), Paradox
(Reinforced) & J.A.K.A.M. in 2001. Their first album 'Pearl, Snake, Bird,v Dawn' was recorded in 2001 and released in 2002.
In 2003 NXS released the 'Pearl Snake Bird Dawn' remix album that
featured Kuniyuki (Natural Resource), Kaoru Inoue (Chari Chari), Tomoki,
Saidrum, EVZ, and others.
Kuniyuki's NXS Remix is scheduled to be released by Joe Claussell on Natural
Resource (Spiritual Life's sub-label). This Remix is also included in the
new third installment of Ian O'Brien and Kirk DeGiorgio's compilation, 'The
Soul Of Science,' released on the Obsessive label.
In 2005 Spring he released his solo album with Cuban musicians.
When NXS performed as opening act in Tokyo for Holger Czucay (ex-CAN member,
Germany) he said he had not seen a show that cool in 10 years.
No doubt his style is FREESTYLE.
