+ DJ Dante (push..) http://www.myspace.com/djdantejapan 1999年、DJ Danteは故郷のUkでDJを始めた。そして2004年から、その活動基盤を日本に移し、push..のレジデントとして、そしてco- organiserとして日本でのダンスミュージックシーンを支えてきている。House、Breaks、そしてDiscoなどが複雑に絡み合う彼独自の スタイルで、誰しもがじっとしてはいられなくなる、最高にファンキーでソウルフルな夜をpresentできることになるでしょう。
Lover of music since birth, DJ since 1999, founder of push.. and party animal. A DJ Dante set is 1 part house, 1 part techno, 1 part disco…all with a healthy dose of the FUNK. Understanding the dancefloor is knowing how to make people dance with a smile, which DJ Dante does to great effect. Let your soul feel the music!
The organiser of Freedom Sunset, a trumpeter, surfer, boxer, and true Shonan-jin who lives his life in the sound of waves and the rhythm of his boxing. He has produced music or collaborated with Calm (in Organ Language), Goro, Kaoru Inoue and many more major figures in Japanese music, and has released on several compilation CDs. His DJ sound is a freestyle journey through techno, house, jazz.. whatever will make the people enjoy the music.
+ Kubo-Z (flicker) 空気に満ちたパーティに感じることの出来る“開き”の感覚をDJにて表現出来るDJ。十代後半にヒップホップに出会い、地元西湘地区から横浜、渋谷などにて偉大なる先人達のプレイに毎週末踊らされる日々を過ごす。 音楽への探求心はヒップホップにとどまらず、ハウス/ブラジル音楽/ジャズなど多様なスタイルを凝り固まることなく良質な「音楽」として吸収、そして実践。 サーカスのように聞く者の血をわくわくさせるプレイは各地で好評を獲得し、その活動幅を日夜広げている。2007年3月、初のミックス作品『Harmony?』をJazzy Sport Distribution経由でリリース。新旧交えた「今聞ける/今聞くべき」ヒップホップを軸にセレクト&ミックスし、 真夜中のように深いスモーキーソウルをスムースに聴かせる前半からグルーヴィンかつトリッピー、KUBO-Zならではの“トビ”の感覚を表現した後半と、ストーリー性あるミックスで好評を得た。 2007年10月、待望の2作目『Journey?』をリリース。
Encountering hip-hop in his late teenage years in Yokohama, exploring further into house, Brazilian and jazz styles, Kubo-Z is a real DJ in the sense of playing good music; by which he expresses his openness and ability to lift a dancefloor into the air. His play style is like a circus, and has gathered acclaim and bookings from far and wide, as well as a residency at push.., the Shonan house music party. He released his first mix CD ‘Harmony?’ in March 2007, and followed up with ‘Journey?’ in October. Both mixes have had favourable reviews due to their storyline and excellent track selection. This is what you can expect from a Kubo-Z set – fun, games and just good music. Animated, tall, excitable.
