joining us for future events throughout 2006.

DJ Highpriest first discovered the wonders of Japanese music when a friend played him the astounding Sushi 3003 compilation. This began a journey deep into the realms of Shibuya-kei and beyond as he sought out as many of the featured groups on vinyl if possible. This interest continually expands as new Japanese friends introduce him to ever more mind-blowing sounds of the highest calibre.
Fuelled by 3 epic journies around Japan this aspiring film maker has shot 12 hours of digital videoover there; a vinyl junkie, he will often be found exploring the vinyl emporia of Shibya and Shinjuku as well as hanging out with stars of the Shibuya-kei scene.

Herr Messerschmitt is a new recruit for the J-Pop Go team who favours 'old school' J-Pop. Jimmy trained at the prestigious Aufgeilen Sound Academy in Germany for many years and is now happy to perform and take requests - as long as they're not for Scooter.

GenkiBoi favours a lot of that cheesy nonsense that other more sensible DJs avoid like a dubbed anime. Genkiboi has been studying the Japanese language for a number of years and now knows the Japanese word for "cold" (but isn't telling anyone what it is). Genkiboi takes requests - as long as they're for KOTOKO.
