Kenji got shocked by DJs such as KO KIMURA, JUNIOR VASQUEZ, and FRANKIE KNUCKLES, and he began to make music in 1993.He released his first single 『COMBAT!』 on KO KIMURA’s label “FUTIC RECORDINGS TOKYO” in 1999. He is making music constantly and his music is a superb sound for fans of Techno, House, Progressive and Electro.Kenji's music has been remixed by many top producers including Pole Folder and Jimmy Van M.Kenji's tracks can also be found in the the playlists and record boxes of the worlds best progressive house DJs such as Hernan Cattaneo, Tom Stephens, Phil Thompson,and John Digweed.-----Beat Theory-----Beat Theory members Kenji Takashima and Dr. Phreak were introduced to each other by Masa (former owner of 9 State Records) in 2004. Kenji, an established progressive house producer and Dr. Phreak, a veteran techno DJ, bring talent and experience from both the studio and the club into their music.
