This is for the somewhat loungin’ laid back ears. The warm bass sounds and head nodding drums keep it engaging. I was surprised to hear the slowed down Monie Love’s “It’s A Shame (My Sister) throwback. This cat is from the East, where the sun rises for real.
DJFYO a.k.a. Do Justly From Your Own (Music & Strength Crew) moved back to Japan in 2010 after being active as a DJ, producer, and music supervisor in Los Angeles, California. He settled in Tokyo and picked up where he left off. He mixes Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, Rock and Psy-Trance with his vast range of records. He also plays Japanese old school music (1970s-1990s) under his moniker DJ Ku-Rumi-Chan. His dope production is otherworldly, soundscapes that “no one would ever make with weird samples,” he said. “Simply dope.”
