<title>ST JEAN DE LUZ </title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I am taking it easy in the very beautiful town of St.Jean De Luz with my family. St.Jean De Luz is located 10km away from the Spanish border.  It has a very unique Spanish/French basque culture.The beaches along the coast are beautiful, surfing is a religion here, the inside country and the Pyrenees mountains offer a lot, and as you can guess the food is very good especially the local ham, seafood (tuna, salmon, trout, sardines), and sweets (macarons, tourons, mouchous, gateau basque)!</p>

<p>とても素敵な町ST.JEAN DE LUZでゆっくりしてます。スペインの国境から10キロです。スペインとフランスをミックスした独特なバスク文化が存在します。大西洋の海岸沿いの美しい広い浜辺とビーチ、ここでは波乗り、サーフィンはとても盛んでヨーロッパ一のスポットで、内陸地域、山とピレネー山脈は豊で、そして食べ物、特にハム、シーフード(鮪、サーモン、鰯、鱒)とお菓子{特にアーモンド・ベースのマカロン、ツーロン、ムシュー、ガトーバスク)が名物でとても美味しいです!</p>

I was supposed to DJ tonite on August 15th at the club Space for an Innervisions party but unfortunately it has been cancelled. (From the twice-monthly email magazine earplug), here is an old school chart from the father of the balearic beat in Ibiza back in 88. What a great and interesting mixture and selection of music!</p>

<p>今夜8月15日イビザの名門クラブSPACEで予定されていたINNERVISIONSのパーティが残念ながら中止になりました。ここでメール・マガジンEARPLUGから88年にイビザのクラブ・サウンドとなったバレアリック・サウンドを代表する伝説のDJ ALFREDOの88年のチャートを。とても面白い選曲です!</p>

<p>DJ Alfredo (We Love Space) Ibiza, Spain   </p>

<p>1.  Manuel Göttsching, "E2-E4" (Inteam)<br />
      This fantastic piece of music was the perfect one to play when the club opened the doors, putting things in place.</p>

<p>   2. Henry Mancini, "The Pink Panther Theme" (RCA)<br />
      The closing theme, the one that left everybody with a smile on her face; totally a surprise the first time I played it.</p>

<p>   3. Nina Simone, "My Baby Just Cares for Me" (Verve)<br />
      A sexy and romantic jazz tune, one for all time. It even made the owner of Amnesia dance.</p>

<p>   4. Gilberto Gil, "Girl From Baiaha (Toda Menina Baiaha)" (WEA)<br />
      One of the Brazilian records I play — "Belo Horizonte" came much later — and the one that everybody asks for.</p>

<p>   5. Thrashing Doves, "Jesus on the Payroll" (A&M)<br />
      Rock 'n roll at its best, and the one English people enjoy the most. Great track!</p>

<p>   6. Atahualpa 1530, "Andino" (DFC)<br />
      A key track in all my sets, because it changes tempo and gives the opportunity to go from downtempo to house. It's a traditional South American melody from the indians that live the Andes.</p>

<p>   7. George Kranz, "Din Daa Daa" (Fourth & Broadway)<br />
      Another key track to change tempo and style — a fantastic idea, superb! I used to play the a cappella version. Very short but super strong.</p>

<p>   8. Prince, "When Doves Cry" (Warner)<br />
      Apparently Prince's best-loved record, but very new at the time. What can I say: the most poetic, incredible piece of modern funk, direct from the George Clinton school.</p>

<p>   9. The Woodentops, "Well Well Well" (Rough Trade)<br />
      The revolutionary track that made the club explode. Probably half of the people never understood the words, but the track transmits so much power; that was enough. (Thanks to Nello, a DJ at the time.)</p>

<p>  10. Joe Smooth Inc. feat. Anthony Thomas, "The Promised Land" (D.J. International)<br />
      These were the perfect lyrics for where we were at the moment. We were there in the promised land!</p>

<p></p>

<p><br />
A very exciting news. My 2 dearest music heroes David Byrne and Brian Eno are back together again and they are releasing their new album <a href="http://www.everythingthathappens.com" target="_blank">"Everything that happens will happen today"</a>. Music is by Brian Eno and lyrics by David Byrne. Both have characterised the album as "Electronic gospel"! It has been 27 years since the ambient pioneer and former Talking Heads frontman released their groundbreaking album the masterpiece "My life in the bush of ghosts" that I love and that inspired me so much. They have also followed Radiohead’s example by making the album physically available later on in numerous formats including enhanced CD and a deluxe box set with artwork by Stefan Sagmeister.The music will be available on the web site from August 18th, free for streaming and available for purchase as both a download and in physical formats. I am really looking forward to it!</p>

<p>ここでとてもエキサイティングなニュースです。ミュージック・ヒーロであるDAVID BYRNEとBRIAN ENOが再会して新しいアルバム<a href="http://www.everythingthathappens.com" target="_blank">「EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS WILL HAPPEN TODAY」</a>をリリースします。音楽はBRIAN ENO、そして歌詞はDAVID BYRNEです。内容は8/18からサイトで試聴出来ます。内容の方は"エレクトロニック・ゴスペル"らしいです。とても影響されたアンビエントの立役者とTALKING HEADSのリーダが送った傑作「MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS」から27年振りのコラボレーションである。RADIOHEADのように、アルバムは先にディジタル・ダウンロードの形でリリースされます。とても期待してます!</p>

今週末３年ぶりにDJ YELLOWが来日します！ここ2年でヨーロッパでは今流行っているディープでトランシーなハウスとテクノ作品を出して多方面から(Josh Wink, Satoshi Tomie, Dubfire等)話題になっているヴェテランDJ YELLOWが8/16代官山のAIRでプレイします。 名古屋のレーベルFOUNTAIN MUSICからTHE INTERMISSION/ DJ YELLOW AND ASTRID SURYANTOを6/25にリリースしました。今年出たダンス・ミュージックのアルバムの中で最もパーソナルで良かったアルバムです。ヴォーカリストASTRID SURYANTOをフューチャしたとても素敵でロマンチックな内容のエレクトロニック・アルバムである。良く聴いてプレイしてます。是非遊びに行ってみて下さい、そして新生DJ YELLOWを体験して見て下さい!</p>

<p>For those of you in Tokyo, I highly recommend you this week end on Saturday August 16th to go check DJ Yellow (Alienation,poussez!) at Club Air in Daikanyama. The past 2 years, the creative Dj Yellow has been releasing on numerous labels very good deep and trancey house and techno tracks supported by Djs like Josh Wink, Satoshi Tomiie to Dubfire. He is promoting his first album with the vocalist Astrid Suryanto "The Intermission" on the Nagoya-based label Fountain Music. It is a very beautiful, romantic and personal electronic album. One of the best electronic artist album of the year. <br />

<title>Gallery 10th anniversary!</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I played for the first time at the legendary Grassroots bar/club situated in the funky old-school and very charming neighborhood of Higashi-Koenji in Tokyo. Grassroots has been opened for 11 years and is a very well known unique music venue with a beautiful japanese and oriental decor. The very good DJs Conomark and Taro Akiyama from Sleeping Bugz invited me to play with them. It was fire! People know how to get down. It was a very funky night! Such a great vibe. Grassroots has been supporting a new wave of japanese producers like Hikaru from Blasthead, Altz, Flying Rhythms, Dj Nobu etc through their partner ship with the record label Lastrum. Thank you Grassroots!</p>

<p>始めてファンキーでオールドスクールな東高円寺にある伝説のバー/クラブGRASSROOTSでDJしました。GRASSROOTSはとても素敵な日本とオリエンタル的な内装をした11年も営業をしている音楽ヴェニューである。素晴らしいDJであるGRASSROOTSのCONOMARKとSLEEPING BUGZの秋山太郎に招かれてDJを。盛り上がりました! とにかくファンキーで驚きました。雰囲気は最高でした。とても新鮮で刺激になりました。GRASSROOTSはLASTRUMと組んで日本の新世代のプロデューサやDJ、光(BLASTHEAD)、ALTZ, FLYING RHYTHMS, DJ NOBU等をサポートしています。GRASSROOTSどうもありがとう! また是非やりましょう。</p>

As I mentionned to you a few weeks ago, the new vinyl record shop in Shibuya called <a href="http://www.lighthouserecords.jp" target="_blank">Lighthouse Records</a> finally opened late July. The selection is very good. The store is big. It feels like being in a record shop in Europe. And you can listen to your new records on a Genelec or a Klipsch sound system. This is a new hi-fidelity audio new style specialised record shop!</p>

<p>数週間前にお伝えしました、渋谷の新アナログ専門レコードショップ<a href="http://www.lighthouserecords.jp" target="_blank">LIGHTHOUSE RECORDS</a>がめでたく7月末にオープンしました! ヨーロッパのレコード・ショップを思わせる雰囲気と広いスペースを持ったとてもいいセレクションのショップです。そして何と言っても音に拘って、店内の試聴の音響システムはGENELECまたはKLIPSCHです。新型最高級の専門レコードショップです!</p>

Back from Tokyo, I highy recommend this very good new ambient compilation "Hosono Haruomi Archives vol.1" (<a href="http://www.daisyworld.co.jp" target="_blank">daisysworld</a>) featuring Hosono's new and old soundscapes  recorded between 1987 and 2008 out in Japan.</p>

<title>EAST RIVER PARK CALLING</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>KRS-One rocked the East River Park Amphitheatre with Dj Kid Capri killing it! Such a lesson of real hip hop. Still the number 1 MC on the planet. It was so inspiring! Everyone was singing along. KRS-One at the Wild Style Amphitheatre, a great moment of NYC hip hop history. And in front of my house! I would have never imagined this when I went to see BDP in Tokyo the first time in the late 80s at Kawasaki Club Citta.</p>

<p>EAST RIVER PARKのAMPHITHEATREでDJ KID CAPRIを迎えてのKRS-ONEの無料コンサート! もの凄かったです。一言でロックしてました。本物のヒップホップのレッスンでした。KRS-ONEは今でも世界一のMCです。とてもインスパイヤーされました! お客さんもみんな一緒に歌ってました。あのWILD STYLEのAMPHITHEATREで何とKRS-ONEが! ヒップホップの歴史に残ります。そして家の前で! 信じられないです。始めて80年代の終わりに川崎クラブ・チッタでBDPを観に行ったことを思い出します。感動しました!</p>

<p>King Britt provided the soundtrack the whole day. It was so good to see him with serious footaball head Dego from 2000 Black who recently moved to Brooklyn.</p>

<p>一日中トーナメントのDJを担当していたのはKING BRITT。そして何と4ヶ月前にBROOKLYNに引っ越ししたサッカー大好きな2000 BLACKのDEGOも遊びに。 </p>

The Dubai Brooklyn warehouse party in Bushwick  was crazy! It is really good to play in those kind of raw warehouse parties. The energy was insane. Everybody is free doing whatever they want partying down. It is a shame the sound system wasn't that great though. </p>

<p>BUSHWISHで行われたDUBAI BROOKLYNのウェーハウス・パーティはクレージでした! こういうパーティでDJするのは現場的にリアルでとても面白いし、大切です。盛り上がってました。みんな好き勝手に出来るのでとてもいいです。サウンド・システムがもうちょっと良ければよかったですけど。</p>

Our Sotto Voce summer fever party at Mangiami was really good. There was such a great vibe in the restaurant. Jason Kincade and Hugh Herrera played real good records. </p>

<p>MANGIAMIで行われたSOTTO VOCEパーティはとても楽しかったです。JASON KINCADEとHUGH HERRERAはとてもいいレコードをプレイしてました。</p>

<p>I went to check the Creative Time presents Playing the Building: An Installation by David Byrne at the Battery Maritime Building in Manhattan. It is an amazing sound installation in which the infrastructure of this great old Ferry building is converted into a giant musical instrument. You play this old organ which is connected to devices attached to the building structure creating activations through wind, vibration and striking producing sounds! This is a brilliant idea.   </p>

<p>MANHATTANのBATTERY MARITIME BUILDINGで開催されているCreative Time presents Playing the Building: An Installation by David Byrneを観に。古いカッコいいフェリー乗り場のビルの全体の構造を使って巨大な楽器に変身したDAVID BYRNEによるとても面白いサウンド・インスタレーションです。さすがDAVID BYRNE考えることは凄いです! ビルの構造に繋がっている古いオルガンを弾いて、<br />
風や振動によって音が鳴るとういう素晴らしいアイデアーです。</p>

<title>NYC DOWNTOWN WATERFALLS</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The artist Olafur Eliasson created 4 man-made <a href="http://www.nycwaterfalls.org" target="_blank">waterfalls</a> in the New York harbour situated along the shorelines of Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and Governors Island.  They look great at night! They will be on view from June 26 to October 13.</p>

<p>NYCの港のLOWER MANHATTAN、BROOKLYNとGOVERNORS ISLAND沿いにアーティストのOLAFUR ELIASSONが人工の<a href="http://www.nycwaterfalls.org" target="_blank">滝</a>4つを手掛けました。特に夜にはカッコいいです! 6月26日から10月13日までに展示されています。</p>

<p>I went to see at the World Financial Center last Tuesday a free live show of Fennesz + Sakamoto. It was such a beautiful "ambient" show! I really enjoyed Sakamoto on the piano and Fennesz on the laptop and the guitar. They closed the show with Sakamoto's latest song "Koko". </p>

<p>火曜日にWORLD FINANCIAL CENTERのホールでFENNESZ+SAKAMOTOのフルー・ライヴを観に。とても美しいアンビエントのライヴでした! 坂本龍一がピアノを弾いて、FENNESZがラップトップとギターを演奏する編成が良かったです。ショーの最後は今年の3月に出た坂本龍一の最新の曲「KOKO」。気持ち良かったです。</p>

A new live band in NYC called "The Phenomenal Handclap Band" played their first ever show at 105 Rivington on Wednesday. They only played 3 songs (from their forthcoming excellent first album) but it was very good! They play a great mixture of disco/funk/latin/rock. All the band members are all super talented and have been playing with different people in NYC. Quinn aka Bing Jin LIng is one of them. They have a huge cast of excellent musicians on the album. </p>

<p>NYCから新しいバンド「THE PHENOMENAL HANDCLAP BAND」が水曜日105 RIVINGTONでライヴ・デビューをしました。これからリリースされるデビューアルバムに収録されている3曲だけを演奏したが、最高に良かったです! DISCO/FUNK/LATIN/ROCKをミックスしたファンキーなサウンドです。バンドのメンバーはNYCの多くのバンドと演奏している実力のミュージシャンです。QUINNことBING JIN LINGもその一人です。アルバムには多くの豪華ゲストが出演している。</p>

I was happy to find the other day at Downtown 304 the 2nd release of the Edinburgh-based <a href="http://www.myspace.com/firecrackerrecordings" target="_blank">firecracker</a> label that I love! There are 3 very good deep beatdown releases until now on 10" vinyl records with great american comics type of designed artwork record sleeves.</p>

<p>この間NYCのディストリビュータDOWNTOWN 304でスコットランド／エディンバラーからの大好きなレーベル<a href="http://www.myspace.com/firecrackerrecordings" target="_blank">firecracker</a>の第二弾を見つけました! アメリカン・コミック系の面白いレコードのアートワークをした限定アナログ盤10"でディープで黒いビートダウン的な最高クオリティーなEPがこれまで3枚出てます。</p>

<title>NYC SUMMER WEEK END</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I went to the <a href="http://www.japansociety.org" target="_blank">Japan Society</a> in midtown Manhattan for the JAPAN CUTS, Festival of New Japanese Film which ran from July 2nd to July 13th to watch the documentary movie "Yasukuni".  I thought it was a well documented, well done and interesting documentary about the controversial Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo home of the 2nd World War deads and the history of Japan's 2nd World War.. I enjoyed it. This festival featured 18 U.S. and NY premiere films plus a sidebar tribute to one of my favourite late filmmaker Kon Ichikawa, and over 60 short films from Japan's emerging independent filmmakers, video artists. I thought it was a great festival with great quality and with a very good selection.</p>

<p>話題のドキュメンタリー映画「靖国」を観にMANHATTANのミッドタウンにある<a href="http://www.japansociety.org" target="_blank">ジャパン・ソサエティー</a>で7/2から7/13までに行われている日本映画祭「JAPAN CUTS, FESTIVAL OF NEW JAPANESE FILM」へ。靖国神社、そして日本の第二次世界大戦の歴史を伝える非常に良く出来たそして考えさせられる興味深い作品でした。良かったです。この映画祭では、アメリカとNYC初公開の話題の18の新作の日本映画(Sakuran、大日本人、もがりの森等)、60作の短編映画、そして今年の2月に亡くなられた日本映画を代表する大好きな映画監督市川崑に捧げる特別上映会が行われた。セレクションのクオリティーとセンスがとても良かった映画祭だと思いました。</p>

<p>Thursday night back we celebrated DJ Spun's birthday at my weekly residency at Santos Party House for the Respect Ete d'Amour party. The back to back in the end with Spun,  Prince Language, James Curd (Greenkeepers, Chicago) was fun.105 Rivington was on fire on Friday night.</p>

<p>木曜日の夜は毎週の木曜日に行われているSANTOS PARTY HOUSEでのRESPECT ETE D'AMOURパーティのレジデンシーでDJ SPUNの誕生日のお祝いを! 最後、SPUN. PRINCE LANGUAGE, JAMES CURD (GREENKEEPERS, CHICAGO)とのバック・ツー・バックは楽しかったです。そして続けて金曜日は105 RIVINGTONで大盛り上がり。</p>

<p>I went for the first time with a group of friends later to eat some real good greek food in Astoria, Queens in the greek neighborhood at "Elias Corner for fish". What a great experience! We had 4 different types of grilled fish. Delicious! This is the great thing  living in NYC.</p>

<p>その後、大勢でQUEENSのギリシャ地区ASTORIAでギリシャ料理を「ELIAS CORNER FOR FISH」へ食べに。これがまた凄く面白い体験でした! 4種類の白身の焼き魚がとにかく最高でした! 本当に美味しかったです。こういうことはNYCでしか経験出来ないです。</p>

<p>I crossed the Williamsburgh bridge to hang out at the No Ordinary Monkey Grand Ferry Park afternoon party on Sunday. It was good to see everybody. A perfect way to end up a great NYC summer week end! </p>

<p>日曜日はWILLIAMSBURGH橋を渡ってブルックリンで行われたNO ORDINARY MONKEYのGRAND FERRY PARKの昼間のパーティへ。色々な友達や知り合いが来てました。とても気持ちよかったです。素晴らしい夏のNYCらしい週末でした!</p>

<title>BEIJING</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I was invited to DJ for a Y-3 party in Beijing, China to celebrate the opening of the new Y-3 store in Beijing. My first time in Beijing. The party was to be held on the rooftop of the brand new design hotel "The Emperor" right next to the Forbidden City. A dream location for a party! The weather hasn't been great and unfortunately after I played 3 records heavy rain started and we had to move the party in the restaurant in the basement for the rest of the evening. What a shame! The rooftop was so beautiful and everything was there for it to be an amazing party. We were all disappointed. But it happens. The vibe of the party was great though. Lots of VIPs came down. We had a great party.</p>

<p>北京でのY-3の新ストアーの記念を祝ってY-3のパーティのDJとして北京に招かれた。始めての北京。パーティ会場は何と故宮の直ぐ並びに立つ新デザイン・ホテル「THE EMPEROR」の屋上のスペース。本当に夢のようなロケーションである! ずっと天気は梅雨空で曇のち雨で、3曲かけた後激しい雨が降り始めて、とても残念ながら最終的にパーティをホテルの地下のレストランに移動。本当に残念で持ったいなかったです! せっかくとてもカッコよく内装された屋上のスペースが用意されていて、素晴らしいパーティが始まろうとしていたのに...がっかりです! こういうこともあります。パーティはこのままいい雰囲気の中で続いて、多くのVIPも訪れて、パーティはいい感じになりました。</p>

<p>Beijing was working non-stop for the Olympics. It is really a fascinating city with lots of beautiful places to visit and things to do. The underground night life scene is vibrating to underground dance music with a lot of different great spaces. You can feel it there more than in Shanghai. It is a very interesting place with great energy open to the future with so much history and culture at the same time. The chinese underground scenes are here.  </p>

<p>オリンピックの準備に向けて北京は必死に動いてました。北京には多くの観光スポットがとても楽しくて興味深い首都です。アンダグランドなナイト・ライフも非常に発展していて、色々な面白い場所等で海外のアンダグランド・ダンス・ミュージックが聴けます。上海よりは面白いと感じました。未来に向けてそして同時に過去の歴史と文化を大事に誇りとして保ってエネルギー溢れるとても面白い首都です。中国のアンダグランドは北京にある。</p>

<title>FROM NYC TO BEIJING</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The first Respect Ete d'amour party last Thursday at Santos Party House with Moby, Juan MacLean, Neil Aline and myself went really good! I played from the opening on the main stage upstairs. The floor got packed very fast, I played a great groovy and happy mid tempo new boogie set, and the people loved it and went nuts!</p>

<p>先週の木曜SANTOS PARTY HOUSEで行われたMOBY, JUAN MACLEANをゲストに迎えてNEIL ALINEと僕がレジデントDJを勤める今夏のRESPECTのETE D'AMOURパーティの第一回目は大成功でした! 出来たばっかりの一階のメイン・ステージでオープンからプレイ。オープンから間もなくフロアーは直ぐに満員になって、うまくお客さんを掴んでミッドテンポよりのグルーヴィでブギーなセットでみんな早い時間から大盛り上がり! </p>

Their mission statement with the label is "To share authentic musical information (musical recordings, energy, history, messages, visions, emotions, expressions, creativity and artistic integrity) through quality playback."</p>

<p>DAVID MANCUSO率いるTHE LOFTが始めて正式なレコード・レーベルを始めます:  THE LOFT AUDIOPHILE LIBRARY OF MUSIC。最初のリリースは「MY FAVOURITE THINGS」によるALFREDO DE LA FEのスタジオ・ヴァージョンとTHE LATIN PERCUSSION JAZZ ENSEMBLEによるライヴ・ヴァージョンです。レーベルの目的は最高クオリティーの音実の45回転の180グラムの12"アナログ盤のシングルの昔の楽曲の再発である。マスタリングは何とPINK FLOYDの「DARK SIDE OF THE MOON」の伝説のサウンド・エンジニアSTAN RICKMANが手掛けます。本来のレコーディングや音楽情報(エネルギー、歴史、メッセッジー、ヴィジョン、エモーションズ、表現、クリエティヴィティー、アーティスト性)を最高のクオリティーでシェアーすることがレーベルのミッションです。とても期待してます!</p>

<title>THANK YOU SPACE LAB YELLOW!</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I am so happy to have experienced the very last week at Space Lab Yellow last week in Tokyo. Yellow was my home. I DJed, partied, danced, promoted parties there on a regular basis since I got back from France in 1995 for 13 years. Yellow gave me so much and always supported me. I will never forget.From the bottom of my heart I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH YELLOW! For 17 years, thank you so much for your inspiration, for your hospitality, for all the memories, for the best music and sound system. Yellow changed my life. My last Timewarp party in May was such an unforgettable party. It was probably the perfect ending party for me but also showing the way for a new beginning. This is what matters now for all of us. We need to move forward and build a new Yellow!      </p>

<p>先週東京でSPACE LAB YELLOWの最終週を経験出来てとても嬉しかったです。僕にとってYELLOWはホームでした。1995年フランスから帰国してから定期的に13年間YELLOWでDJして、遊んで、踊りまくって、パーティをオーガナイズして来ました。YELLOWから本当に多くなものを得て、YELLOWは僕をずっとサポートして来ました。忘られません。心から感謝を混めてYELLOW本当にありがとう! 17年間、素晴らしい刺激、思いで、感動、最高の音楽とサウンドシステムをありがとう。人生が変わりました。5月に行われた最後のTIMEWARPパーティは一生心に残ります。結果的にYELLOWで最後の最適なパーティになって、同時にそこで新しい出発点、ヴィジョンが見せられたと思いました。今後に向けて頑張って、新しいYELLOWをみんなで作りましょう!</p>

<p>Laurent Garnier played a truly fantastic inspiring funky 12 hours set on Friday June 20th.</p>

<p>最終末の6月20日の金曜日LAURENT GARNIERはとてもファンキーで刺激的で素晴らしい12時間セットをプレイ。</p>

<p></p>

<p><br />
Francois Kevorkian played for the closing party on Saturday June 21st. Laurent Garnier took over at 11am on Sunday morning, Danny Krivit and Joe Claussell then joined in, Francois came back and then the 4 played together until the middle of Sunday night. I had never experienced such an amazing vibe. The music was pumping and excellent. It was great to see so many friends. The club was packed. The music stopped a few times. People didn't leave. "I love music" by the O'Jays brought everybody together and in tears. I cried. The last 3 hours were really intense and emotional. Francois and Laurent played together in the end. To see Francois and Laurent together made me so happy. Francois finished with "Blade Runner" a truly beautiful and magical moment at 5:30am. The last party lasted 31 hours.   </p>

<p>6月21日の土曜日のクロージング・パーティに伝説のFRANCOIS KEVORKIANがプレイ。日曜日の午前11時にLAURENT GARNIERにバトンタッチ、途中からDANNY KRIVITとJOE CLAUSSELLが入って、午後5時過ぎにFRANCOISが帰って来て、それから4人で日曜日の夜中までプレイ。経験したことにない凄いヴァイヴでした。まさに楽園のような。音楽もパンピングでとても良かった。色々な友達や知り合いに会えて最高でした。クラブは満員でした。アンコールとして音も何度か止まった。しかし誰も帰らなかった。O'JAYSの「I LOVE MUSIC」でみんな一緒になって、一緒に泣いた。僕も泣いた。最後の3時間はとにかく感動的でした。言葉で説明出来ない不思議な雰囲気でした。一番最後はFRANCOISとLAURENTが一緒にプレイ。ブースの中にいる二人の姿を見て嬉しくなりました。そして午前5:30にFRANCOISは「BLADE RUNNER」をかけて17年間のYELLOWのストーリに幕を閉じた。とても美しいマジックな瞬間であった。</p>

<title>TIMEWARP &apos;08 JAPAN TOUR FINAL</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>minotaurが経営する福岡のセレクトショップMa shopが新しく去年末にリ・オープンした福岡の伝説のクラブ0/DでMa grooveとTimewarpの共同パーティを主宰してTaroと僕を招待。minotaurを中心に展開するMa Shopは天神にあるとてもカッコいいセレクト・ショップです。5年振りの福岡。ワクワク、ドキドキの今回のパーティ! 新しいO/Dはとにかくしっかりしていてカッコいいです。早い時間からフロアーはいっぱい。パーティは結局大盛り上がりして大成功! とてもハマって面白いDJプレイが出来ました。色々な多くの人達が遊びに来てくれた。午前6時までみんなパーティして、踊りまくって、雰囲気はとてもよかったです。みんなとの一体感がとても感じられた素晴らしいパーティでした。そして新しいモノが見えました。本当にTimewarpツアーを閉める完璧なパーティとなりました! 今後、O/Dと福岡にとても期待しています。福岡にはエネルギー、パワーと活気を感じました。食べ物もとても美味しいです: 大砲ラーメン、元祖長浜ラーメン、明太子、イカ、お魚、豆腐、池田商店の竹餃子、醤油等。</p>

<p>The Ma shop in Fukuoka operated by minotaur invited Taro and I for a special Ma groove/Timewarp joint party at the brand new club O/D. The Ma shop is a very nice select shop around the minotaur clothing line located in Tenjin, the centre of Fukuoka. Club O/D used to be the legendary club in Fukuoka. Their new space is beautiful. I hadn't been to Fukuoka for 5 years. The party turned out to be very good. Lots of different type of people came down, partied and danced non stop until the morning. There was such a good vibe, a true unity feeling. The energy was electric. I felt something strong and new. It was a truly special night for everyone in every sense!  What a perfect party to finish the TImewarp tour! I am very excited about the new O/D and Fukuoka. There is so much energy, enthousiasm in Fukuoka. The food is very good too, from tonkotsu ramen, mentaiko, squid, fish, tofu, take gyoza to soya sauce. </p>

<title>TIMEWARP &apos;08 JAPAN TOUR vol.2 part1</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>第一カ所目は山口県ののんぴりとした小さい街徳山のクラブPEOPLE。PEOPLEはJBLのいいサウンドシステムを持つ雰囲気のいい手作りでディープな小箱です。音にハマって気が付いたら朝8:30までDJしてました! とても気持ちパーティありがとうございました。</p>

<p>First top was Club People in the small peacefull city of Tokuyama, Yamaguchi at the end of the main Honshu island in Japan. It is a great deep little "hand made" club with a nice JBL soundsystem. I got into it and I ended up playing 7 hours until 8:30am. Thank you for such a sweet night.</p>

第二カ所目は新幹線で30分離れた北九州の小倉の伝説のクラブMEGA HERTZ。久々の九州でワクワク。オリジナリティー、文化、歴史、伝統を持つエネルギッシュでモダンな九州が大好きです。食べ物もとても美味しいです。鶏肉とさつま芋が大好きです。今回食べた鳥のお刺身、鳥の炭火焼と芋天がとても美味しかったです!</p>

<p>Second stop was Club Mega Hertz in the very funky town of Kogura, Kitakyushu. Kogura is a big city known for its yakuza connection. I really like the island of Kyushu for its energy, originality, authencity, modernity , culture, history and food! The food is very good. They have very good chicken and (sweet) potato. My favorites were charcoaled grilled chicken, raw chichen sashimi and potato tempura. </p>

DJとプロモータのケンゴウ君のレギラー・パーティ「DIMENSION」でプレイ。とにかく12時過ぎにクラブに着いた時点ですでにクラブは大盛り上がりしてました! 信じられませんでした。踊りまくって思い切って楽しんで声を出す若者達でクラブがいっぱい。とにかく燃えました! 本当に新鮮でファンキでした。お店の雰囲気も最高でした。8時過ぎまでほぼ満員のフロアーをキープしてプレイしてクラブの最高時間の記録を破る。一晩中天国に入る感じでした! 本当に特別でマジックな一晩でした。感動しました。みんな本当にありがとう! これからもまだまだ希望を感じられました。リスペクト!</p>

<p>I played for the party "Dimension" organised by Dj/promoter Kengon. The club was on fire! I couldn't believe it. It was full of crazy young party people going nuts dancing and screaming! So fresh. So funky. I completely went for it! I broke the club record and I played until 8am to a packed dance floor. There was such a strong energy, electricity and unity with the people. I was in heaven! It was such a magic night.  Much respect!</p>

<p><br />
やずか3時間の睡眠を取って日曜日は車でパーティのみんなと本州に渡って田舎にある瓦そばが有名な伝説のそば屋さん「たかせ」に。お酒がまだ抜けない。焼きそばに近いそばで最高に美味しかったです! その後は、とてもカッコいい<a href="http://www.ycam.jp" target="_blank">山口情報芸術センター</a>(YCAM)に。東京のSPIRALビルを思い出してくれるヴィジュアルとペフォーマンス・アートを通してす新しいアーティスティックな表現なメディアー技術を紹介しているとても興味深いセンターである。スイスの振付家のGILLES JOBINとOTOMO YOSHIHIDEのライヴが予定されています。</p>

<p>With hardly any sleep, we drove back to Honshu on Sunday to have some very good kawara soba at this very old soba restaurant in the middle of the country side called Takase. The soba are like yakisoba served on a tile with a bit of meat and egg. It was very good! We then went to the beautiful and very interesting <a href="http://www.ycam.jp" target="_blank">Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media</a> (YCAM). It is pretty similar to Spiral Building in Tokyo. It showcases new forms of "media techinology" related artistic expression exhibiting works of visual and performing arts. Expect soon the exhibition of switzerland's Gilles Jobin and live music performance with Otomo Yoshihide. </p>

北九州から始めて真っ黒でカッコいい航空会社STAR FLYERに乗って前から期待していたCODE;Cの最新ビデオ・ドキュメンタリー「PROMETHEUS」を観る。CODE;Cは本当にマルチ・アーティストで毎回驚かされます! とてもよく出来たドキュメンタリーでした。CODE;CとTRANSPORTによる新しいラインC TRANSPORTも始まります。4Dも目が離せないブランドです。最新コレクションのカジュアルな素材を使用したスーツとカシミアのコートがとにかくカッコよかったです。MINOTAURが発行している<a href="http://www.maround.com" target="_blank">Ma MAGAZINE</a>の最新号#0003も出てますのでチェックしてみて下さい。今週の土曜日に福岡のO/Dで行われるパーティが本当に楽しみです。</p>

<p>I watched on my flight back to Tokyo on the very stylish all-black airline Star Flyer the very good video documentary of Code;C exhibition "Prometheus". Code;C is such a great multi-talented artist which surprises us every time! Expect his new clothing line c transport. The new collection of 4D with suits and cashmere jacket is very good. The new Minotaur free paper <a href="http://www.maround.com" target="_blank">Ma magazine</a> is finally  out! I am really looking forward to the MA party next Saturday in Fukuoka.     </p>

<title>TOKYO CITY SPECIAL</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>5周年を迎えたばかりのロンドンを拠点とするインタネット・ラジオ<a href="http://www.samurai.fm" target="_blank">SAMURAI FM</a>が東京のアンダグランドを代表する多方面のアーティスト達のDJやライヴ・ミックスをフューチャした特別番組シリーズ「TOKYO CITY SPECIAL」をアップ。今回はmule musiq, Jazzy Sport, Tripster/Crue-L records, Soup Disk, Circulations, Dj Kensei, Kaoru Inoue とSeeds and Ground, Riow Arai, Kay Nakayama, The SufragettesそしてNichinobu Takarada等からのミックスが試聴出来ます。僕もその一環でFraser Cookeが始めた新番組「Study Masters」用に限定のミックスを手掛けました。海外の住んでいる人達には嬉しい企画です!</p>

<p>The London based <a href="http://www.samurai.fm" target="_blank">Samurai fm</a> which has just celebrated its 5th anniversary has just uploaded a special Tokyo program series called "Tokyo City Special" featuring great mixes from the Tokyo underground galactica labels, DJs and artists like mule musiq, Jazzy Sport, Tripster/Crue-L records, Soup Disk, Circulations, Dj Kensei, Kaoru Inoue and his Seeds and Ground label, Riow Arai, Kay Nakayama, The Sufragettes and Nichinobu Takarada. I have done a mix too part of Fraser Cooke's new show "Study Masters" on Samurai fm. For those of you leaving outside Japan, it is a great step to feel the Tokyo vibe!</p>

土曜日始めてLIQUID LOFTでプレイしました。とてもハマりました。本当に居心地がいいスペースです。まさに誰かのアパートまたはロフトでパーティをしてプレイしてる感じです。MASANORI IKEDAさんとのプレイはとても面白くて新鮮でした。</p>

<p>I played for the first time at LIQUID LOFT last Saturday and I really liked it. It is a great confortable space. It totally feels like playing at somebody's apartment or loft. We had a great time playing together with Masanori Ikeda.  </p>

<p><a href="http://blog.honeyee.com/alex/archives/images/takamiya%2C%20ken%20and%20ikeda.JPG" rel="hnyImg"><img alt="takamiya, ken and ikeda.JPG" src="http://blog.honeyee.com/alex/archives/images/takamiya%2C%20ken%20and%20ikeda-thumb.JPG" width="540" height="405" /></a></p>

<p></p>

<p><br />
その後、興奮状態のまま、時差ぼけもあって、THEO PARRISHを聴きにSPACE LAB YELLOWに。YELLOWもTHEOも大盛り上がり! 一緒にブースにいたDJ SPINNAもMR.Vもフリークアウト! THEOが作品を出し始めて最初に日本に来た時に何回一緒にDJやった時が思い出す。とても面白かったです! とても影響されたRON HARDYの「MUSIC BOX」のミックス・テープを聞いてる感じがしてぶっ飛びましたね。最近だとTHEOはKUNIYUKIをリミックスしてます。TOKYO BLACK STARとしてもちょっと昔のKUNIさんのトラック「BIRDS」のリミックスもやりました。夏にかけて12"シングルとリミックス・アルバムがmule musiqからリリースされます。最近よくプレイしているmule musiqからのFORCE OF NATUREの最新EP「i-ight」がとてもいいです。</p>

<p>Still psyched by the party, completely jet-lagged and happy to be back in Tokyo, we went to check Theo Parrish's at Space Lab Yellow in the morning. Theo was definitely on fire! Dj Spinna, Mr.V, and all of us were freaking out in the booth. I have great memories playing with Theo a few times in Tokyo when he just started putting out records and coming to Japan. It was really exciting! It reminded me of all the old Ron Hardy "Music Box" tapes I got influenced by. I heard Theo stopped the music late in the afternoon.  Theo just did a great remix for Kuniyuki. As Tokyo Black Star we did as well a remix of an old Kuni track "Birds". Expect a series of 12"s and a remix album by this summer. In the meantime, you can enjoy the great new EP from Force Of Nature "i-ight" on mule musiq.</p>

<p></p>

<p><br />
その後、SUNDAY AFTERNOON SESSIONのGALLERYがとてもよいパーティでした。数時間前YELLOWで会っ多くのお客さんが駆けつけてくれた。今回はKLIPSCHORNSの2チャンネルと始めてMARC LEVINSONのアンプを設置。これがまた凄かったです! 音は今まで一番良かったです。素晴らしい相性の組み合わせです! 体験しないと分からないものです。</p>

<p>Gallery was very good on Sunday. Lots of people I saw a few hours earlier at Yellow came down. We set up 2 channels of Klipschorns and for the first time an old Marc Levinson amplifier. I have to say it never sounded that good. It was such good pleasure! It made a really big difference. You have to experience it to understand. </p>

<title>SANTOS HOUSE PARTY</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The pre-opening parties at the new Santos House Party club at 100 Lafayette in NYC have been very promising. I played there already twice with Dj Spun and Lee Douglas. The first floor is a proper live venue and the B1 floor is the club. it is definitely going to be the spot in NYC for the underground scene! It looks like a real NYC club reminding me of club Vinyl.</p>

<p>NYCダウンタウン、100 LAFAYETTEに新しく出来たクラブSANTOS HOUSE PARTYでのプリ・オープニングは盛り上がって来てます。これまでDJ SPUN (RONG MUSIC/PS1)とLEE DOUGLASと2回もプレイしました。一階はライヴが出来る会場になっていて、地下一階はクラブになってます。NYCのアンダグランド・シーンをレプレゼンする期待のスポットになることは間違えないです! NYCらしい作りのクラブでちょっと前のクラブVINYLを思い出してくれます。</p>

I played last Sunday for the 12th anniversary of the party "Futurehouse" in a great little warehouse in downtown Los Angeles with Hawkeye&Lilyane from Heading home and Juan Nunez from Freestyle. It was a great party and a refreshing experience to play at a warehouse party reminding me of back in the days. People in LA are deep, funky and get down! Thank you so much Juan.</p>

<p>先週の日曜日ダウンタウンLAのある倉庫でHEADING HOMEのLILYANEとHAWKEYE主宰のFUTUREHOUSEの12周年のパーティでFREESTYLEのJUAN NUNEZ達とプレイ。昔を思い出すピュアーなウェーハウス・パーティで、新鮮な気持ちでとても楽しかったです! LAのお客さんはディープでファンキーで踊りまくります! JUANいつもありがとう。</p>

The ramen chain "Ippudo" originally from Fukuoka opened in March in NYC. The restaurant looks great very modern japanese and I have to say the ramen tastes the same as in Japan. It makes me happy. Definitely worth checking out! </p>

<title>PARIS</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I went to see the solo exhibition of the visual work of American artist and performer Patti Smith at the <a href="http://fondation.cartier.com" target="_blank">Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain</a>. The Fondation Cartier is a beautiful architecture masterpiece created none other by Jean Nouvel in the South of Paris. The exhibition features installations of photographs, drawings and films Patti Smith created between 1967 and 2007 providing a great personal insight into her lyrical, spiritual and poetic universe which I found very iteresting.</p>

<p>パリの<a href="http://fondation.cartier.com" target="_blank">CARTIER現代美術財団</a>でアメリカ人アーティストPATTI SMITHのソロ・エキジビションを観に。CARTIER現代美術財団はパリの南にあるフランス人大御所建築家JEAN NOUVELによるガラスとメタルで出来た素晴らしい建物です。1967年から2007年にかけてPATTI SMITH本人による写真、絵と画像のインスタレーションがカッコ良く展示されていて彼女の奥深いポエティックとリリカルな世界観が伝わって良かったです。</p>
