-DJ BIO-
【Layo & Bushwacka! (Olmeto Records, The End)】
Layo & Bushwacka’s love affair with music started as teenagers at the dawn of acid house; it’s led both of them through techno, breakbeat, electro, dub, electronica and well beyond. Emerging blinking into the light almost two decades later with a sound that fuses all their influences, they’ve maintained their position at the head of the pack. It’s the same outlaw spirit of eclecticism that still informs their five hour DJ sets, whether at their spiritual home the legendary The End in London (RIP), a beach in Brazil, or a superclub in Ibiza or Argentina.
Three artist albums have proven them remarkably talented producers, capable of mixing styles, tempos and genres to create enduring and engaging electronic music, including the global anthem ‘Love Story’. Their trio of mix albums, their superb Olmeto label and international club residencies have shown they are masters of the turntables, sonic connoisseurs who can guide a dance floor on an epic journey through the many facets of their sound.
【Mike Munoz (London Calling)】 DJ MUNOZ a.k.a. THE DISCO INFILTRATOR (London Calling) has risen to prominence in Japan's club scene with his signature dirty-electro-disco driven sound, mesmerising mixer showmanship and complete musical knowledge. Munoz is co-owner and resident at Japan's underground club night LONDON CALLING, which showcases underground talent direct from the UK and is also the force behind Tokyo's leading afterhours night TRASH at RockWest.
You can catch Munoz behind at the controls of Japan's leading clubs such as WOMB, WAREHOUSE, AIR, YELLOW, MADO LOUNGE, TROOP CAFE & TRIANGLE and internationally at ZOUK (Singapore), CIRCLE (Korea) and THE WALL (China). He has graced the decks alongside DANIEL WANG, HANNAH HOLLAND, PETER BLACK, D RAMIREZ, MASON, CORMAC, FELIX CARTAL, KENJI TAKAMI and Japanese legend KO KIMURA.
In 2008 Munoz was voted Japan's number 15 DJ, one of only two non-Japanese DJs in Loud Magazine's top 50 DJ poll. Influenced by the new wave explosion of the 80's, Munoz's passion for music has led him into the production arena with new tracks lined up for 2009. He's a sure-fire floor-thriller so prepare to perspire.
【Jules Ehrhardt (London Calling)】 Jules Ehrhardt cut his teeth growing up in London during the explosion of the underground club scene. He founded London Calling in Osaka in 2005, quickly establishing the night alongside resident Mike Munoz as the city's most exciting club night and establishing it in Tokyo years later. His amped up genre-crossing style and infectious energy behind the decks causes bedlam on the dancefloor.
