About Me Personally:
I grew up in Leeds in the 80's so witnessed the Acid House explosion first hand, especially as I went to school and lived in the same town as Dave Seaman (he wasn't as famous then but he was trying). I went to the Hacienda most Fridays in the late 80's and then went to Back to Basics once the Hac got a bit naff and people got shot and stuff. I spent 6 months in 1991 in Ibiza, where I did some DJ-ing in order to keep me on the island. I moved to London in 1994 and then to Tokyo in 2000 and here is where I am at right now.

My Interests


*Music - Funk, Junk, Punk and The Italian Riviera circa 1978.

Kozumiku Stuff.. .. ..

I'd like to meet:



Anyone who enjoys dancing, playing records and making good music.
Disco obsessives, people who are passionate about real music and like to dig for stuff which will never get listed in Mixmag.
Aspiring J-Pop stars and cocktail waitresses always welcome.
All joking aside, I'm looking to meet like minded people globally who like to make music, play music, dj with music, dance to music, put on events so people can do all of the above. Please feel free to reach out to me if you think we have similar interests.
I am especially interested in local DJ's who are into good music who might like to guest at our monthly event. If you are interested then please feel free to drop me a line.

Of course if there is anyone out there who can dance like the Korean Actress, Kim Ok Bin, then they are most welcome to add me..
