FUK

it's damn freezing in japan.
i safety came back to my hometown, fukuoka today but just stucked at home.
now enjoying my lovely vinyls which hes been left here for over 2years and i've already found some to bring out to hk at this time.
i've mainly played many electronic dance music now but really excited with many more styles of music since i've been collecting for 10years.

and while in this trip, i'll be coming up for a gig at "STEREO SIDE B"

big thanks for dj yusuke watanabe who organized this party.
he hooked me up when i was university student and i played at "STEREO" like everyweek.
that was amazing time for myself and really unforgettable musical moment.

so this time, i have to answer to my master with full of respect.
honestly, can't believe i'm gonna play as a special guest dj?! in my town...
anyway, all djs are die hard music freaks in this town and really good friends of mine.

i'm still messing around my room to check all vinyls.
anyway, gonna simply show them who am i !!!



日本はやっぱりマジで寒い。
今日無事に地元福岡に帰って来たのはいいけど、寒すぎてずっと家に引き蘢ってる。
そして今、2年以上この部屋に残された愛しいレコード達と戯れている所で、もう既にいくつか香港に持って帰るのも見つけた。
今ではelectronic dance musicをかける事が多いんだけど、自分が10年間買い続けて来た様々なスタイルの音楽に改めて興奮してる。

そして今回の滞在の間に1本DJする予定。場所は"STEREO SIDE B"。

今回わざわざパーティーを組んで頂いたdj yusuke watanabe氏に大きな感謝を。
実は彼が昔まだ自分が大学生だった頃に自分に声を掛けてくれて、毎週の様に"STEREO" でDJさせてもらっていた。
あれは今思い返しても本当に素晴らしい時間だったし、忘れることのない貴重な音楽体験だった。

なので今回はそんな彼に対して思いっきりのrespectを込めて応えようと思う。
正直自分が地元でspecial guest djって言うのにはピンと来ないんだけど。
でもとにかくDJ陣はこの街でも間違いのないmusic freak達だし、何と言っても皆大好きな友達ばかり。

今も部屋中のレコードをひっくり返してチェックしてる所。
まーとにかく自分らしい感じでガツーンと!!!

SPACED OUT

unluckily, my gig on last fri was cancelled for private party.
hope to have next one soon.

btw, seems i really have no interest in electro anymore.
many electro sounds very cheesy and i can't feel any dynamism with boring cut up and add some noise.

instead of, this is what i feel "electronic music".
i like cut up, i like noise but just wanna feel live groove.
can you feel the groove can't copy easily?


運悪く先週金曜のDJがプライベートパーティーの為キャンセルに。
次回またすぐ出来るます様に。

ところで、最近の自分は本当にelectroに全く興味がないみたいで。
耳にするelectroという音楽のほとんどがcheesyにしか聴こえないし、ありきたりなcut upやnoiseを聴いても何のダイナミズムも感じられず。

その代わりに僕が思う最近の"electronic music"とはこんな感じ。
cut upもnoiseも好きだけど、大事なのはlive感があってgroovyかどうか。
誰でも安易に真似の出来ないgrooveみたいなのを感じませんか?

Happy New Year 2009 !!!

(it's late) happy new year !!!
wish all the best for you and us in this year.

after all, it was really tight in end of the last year but we had really good party with many people at both of VERO and HEAT.
i finished my set very last of party and went to victoria peak same as last year then got home around 10am.
and found sunset again when i woke up...


少し遅くなりましたが、あけましておめでとうございます!
今年もhumzapをよろしくお願いします。

年末やっぱりバタバタでしたがVEROHEATもしっかり賑わっていて、どちらもナイスパーティーでした。
朝方6時半に最後のセットを終えてからはvictoria peakに初日の出を見に行って(2年連続)10時に帰宅。
でも去年同様に起きた頃にはすでにサンセット・・・。


i've already been hardcore since new year. (i mean drunk here.)
so far, i confirmed 2gigs in this month.
and also keep working for other booking in coming few months.
humzap is gonna drop many more good party in this year !!!

i made my mind to run as below.
go to play somewhere out of HK at least once in a month.
launch humzap's own party.
invite more dj and artist who has real quality not depends on style, nationality or publicity.
start to learn produce track.

we don't care about mainstream or underground, new or old.
just keep playing quality music not commercial what we believe and let HK listen to, and send it over from HK.


今年は新年早々から飛ばしてます。(飲みの方で)
1月は今の所DJ決まってるのが2本。
その他にも2月、3月以降のブッキングを色々検討中です。
今年もナイスパーティーをたくさんドロップして行きますのでどうぞ宜しくお願いします!

ちなみに今年の目標は
月1くらいのペースで香港外でプレイする
humzapのレギュラーパーティーを始める
ジャンル、国籍、有名無名問わず良いDJやアーティストをもっと香港に呼ぶ。
(今年こそいい加減に)トラック制作を始める

アンダーグラウンドでもメジャーでも、新しいのも古いのも、コマーシャルでないクオリティミュージックを自分達のフィルターを通してもっと香港に伝えて行く、そして発信していく。

we are ready to toe down !!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaman !!!

そんな感じで頑張って行こうと思います!!! ヤーマン!!!
