He got big support from varied funs in many places and transcended recent chronic dance music scene with his characteristic DJ performance and standing on the position where he is really sure.

1976年日本、福岡生まれ。1996年に踏み入れたクラブで出会ったハウスミュージックに衝撃を受け、DJとしてのキャリアをスタートさせる。
その自由な発想から生まれるハードハウス、テクノ、トランス、エレクトロなども取り入れた幅の広い選曲と、トリッキーなスクラッチでフロアーをアップリフティングでコミカルなKO HAYASHI色に染める。オーガナイズするパーティーを始めとして年間100本を超えるDJをこなし、慢性化が進む現在のシーンの中においてもジャンルを超えた様々な層からの絶大な支持を集め、常に独自の地位を確立している稀有な存在である。

FUK

2009-02-17T23:16:00.008+08:00

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

2009-02-08T22:39:00.004+08:00

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？

FEB

2009-02-03T16:35:00.007+08:00

damn, it's already in february...
didn't have so many gigs last month but this month is gonna be busy.
some gigs are already confirmed and more booking is under progress.
it will be fantastic !!!

btw, i'm gonna play at aqua in tsim sha tsui on this friday. 12am-3am.　
(address : 29&30/F, One Peking, 1 Peking Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. tel : 3427 2288)

21feet windows overlooking spectacular views of the city-seascape must be fantastic !!!
i feel like hypnotic tech tunes and atmospheric deep house, slight melody.
or this tune makes you feel the night ?!?!?!

もう既に2月・・・。
先月は実際そんなに毎週の様にはプレイしなかったけど今月は色々忙しくなりそう。
いくつかは先のDJの話も決まってるし、ブッキングの方も色々進行中！
調子良いはずです。

ちなみに金曜日はtsim sha tsuiのaquaで12am-3amでDJの予定。
(address : 29&30/F., One Peking, 1 Peking Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. tel : 3427 2288)

21フィートの窓ガラス越しに見る香港の街の夜景の展望はまさにファンタスティック！！！
ヒプノティックなtech houseとかメロディーは控えめなんだけど空間的なdeep houseとかかけたい気分。
それとも聴きたい曲はこんな感じ？！？！？！？

Happy New Year 2009 !!!

2009-01-09T15:49:00.010+08:00

(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VEROもHEAT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！！！

2008-11-26T13:52:00.011+08:00

our friend, a great okinawa style restaurant group "En" will finally opened Lan Kwai Fong branch !!!

i went to check out there and found the terrace is sooooo nice and confortable.
it's an amazing place like an oasis in LKF, the busiest place in hk !
dishes are also great and always satisfy us enough.
many japanese people live in hk won't miss japan really much.
although need to be careful, many bottle of awamori (okinawa style vodka or shochu?!) filled up all the wall must make us excited.... i have no choice to toe down everytime....

i'm gonna djing on 1.dec for their grand opening party.let's get crazy even on monday night.
i mainly play electronic music at club but feel like playing more groovy live sounds as well here enjoy myself, make you fun !!!

i love hk, such a city still can enjoy drinking beer at outside terrace, nice !!!

いつもお世話になってるEn GroupのLan Kwai Fong店が12/1にいよいよグランドオープン！！！

先日した見に行ってきましたが、外のテラスがすごく居心地良くてLKFという香港で一番騒がしいエリアの中のオアシス的な場所になる事間違いなし！
更にごはんもすごく美味しくて、これだけおいしい料理が食べれるならあまり日本が恋しくならないかも？！
と思いきや、店内に並ぶすごい数の泡盛のボトルに興奮してまたまた泥酔必至。
今後ちゃんと家に帰れるか不安にすらなります。

この日は早速オープニングでDJしますので月曜日ですけど、皆さんガッツリ飲んで行きましょう！！！
最近クラブではもっぱらelectronic musicを中心にプレイしているので、ここではもっと生音を色々取り込んだ選曲で楽しんだり楽しませたり出来たら良いなと思います。

今の時期でもまだまだ外のテラスで飲むビールがウマい香港がナイス！！！

in 2005, at DMC JAPAN FINAL, he put forward the idea of "Building" which is quite new & innovative and explode usual DJ technic, like scratch and beat juggling.
the idea is far from usual DJ work like mixing and editing but DJ gonna "MAKE" a music!!

his philosophy of DJ entertainment is pure music expression.
the peaceful vibes sounds gently to the heart and body of audience.
His routine has high musicianship and entertainmenship based on a enough experiences on stages and sound product/compose ability.
Now the music scene is watching his new routine and track.

1993年、以前から影響されていたHIP HOPカルチャーへの興味が高まりターンテーブルを購入。1994年よりモバイルDJ、クラブDJとして地元大阪ー関西地方を中心に精力的な活動を行う。

DJ Zoeのルーティーンは高度なサウンドプロダクト能力とコンポーズ能力そして豊富なキャリア、ステージ経験値に裏ずけされた圧倒的エンターテイン能力と音楽性の高さが特徴であり、見るものを熱狂の渦に巻き込みソリストとしてのターンテーブリストの可能性をどこまでも引き上げつずける。

Party : MATSURI #10 @ Volar feat. DJ m.y.k.

2008-11-05T15:45:00.023+08:00

it was a great night on 17.oct. we invited dj m.y.k. from my town fukuoka, japan.
she works in "TICRO MARKET", a record shop in fukuoka where i always go to buy vinyls since i've started djing.

i just backed to fukuoka in aug. and became a witness of legend.
she did a insane job, 12hours long set by herself..... was really amazing set like in a dream.
from her background, rock based dance music with her wide spectrum.
i've believed myself should let her play in hk...

and the timing was just same with our 1st work as hamzap !!!
i talked to m.y.k. fly over hong kong.

10月17日はナイスな夜でした。自分の地元福岡よりミユキさん a.k.a. dj m.y.k.をゲストに。
彼女は僕がdjを始めたばかりの頃からずっと通ってるレコードショップ "TICRO MARKET"で働いている。

ちょうど8月に福岡に帰省した。そして伝説の証人になった。
彼女は本当にすごかった、夢の中で踊ってる様な12時間セット。
ロックをバックグラウンドに持つ彼女らしい幅広いダンスミュージック。
この時既に、本当に彼女に香港でプレイして欲しいと思うようになっていた。

そしてちょうどhumzapの第一弾の仕事とタイミングがぴったり重なった !!!
すぐにミユキさんにオファーをかけた。

after pick her up to airport and went to hotel for check in.
then took her shopping and she got cute nike's sneaker.
change her shoes and head volar for sound check.
and we had dinner at well-known Yung Kee Restaurant...this is our routine.

当日空港に迎えに行ってホテルに移動しチェックイン。
それから買い物に出かけ、ミユキさんはかわいいナイキのスニーカーをゲット。
早速新しいスニーカーにチェンジして会場のvolarにサウンドチェックに向かう。
そして晩御飯は近くにある有名な広東料理の老舗、Yung Kee Restaurantへ・・・これが最近のお決まりのコース。

i got warming up for m.y.k. so started to spin from 10pm with mellow disco dub with bpm115.
lately i often play tech house and deep techno in midnight but prefer to play slow and mad disco in early set.
eventually people filled up place and i built up to techno then passed to m.y.k..

自分はウォーミングアップの為10時からプレイ開始。bpm115くらいのユルいdisco dubでスタート。
最近よくtech houseやdeep technoを深夜にかけてるけど、早めの時間ではもっとスロウでマッドなdiscoをかける事が多い。
徐々にお客さんが入り出し、technoにシフトして行ってミユキさんにチェンジ。

she started from a bit mellow breakbeats.
but built up to electro and house sounds not like other djs i've listened, so sofisticated.
the sound has both of pop and hardcore elements, i beleave her style is one and only.
we don't have chance to listen that kind of sound really much in hk.

ミユキさんはちょっとテンションを落として少し緩めのbreakbeatsからスタート。
でもそこから徐々にelectroやhouseを重ねて行くも、何か他のdjとは違うひねりの利いた選曲。
ポップさとハードコアさの加減といい、本当にワンアンドオンリーなスタイルだと思う。
こういう音を香港ではそうそう聴く機会はない。

volar is the place for electro so i asked her to drop some big tune in her set and she played some bouncy electro but also many kind of great tracks, even new order in late of the set.
was really intersting.

we must be wasted if response to music with only how fast or how outstanding.
but we got many good response from people enjoyed the music spectrum of a story teller, dj m.y.k. at that night so really want to bring her back to hong kong again !!!
should be deep techno set in yumla ?!?! it must be MAD !!!

volarという箱自体がかなりelectro好きな雰囲気で、時々分かりやすい曲も挟んでもらうように頼んでいたというのもあってセットの半ばには結構強めなelectroもかけていたけど、最後の方にはnew orderとかまで色んなとこに行ってて、本当に面白いセットだった。

音の速さや派手さでしか音楽に反応出来ないのはもったいない事だと思う。
でもこの夜、dj m.y.k.というストーリーテラーの音楽観を楽しんでくれたお客さんからは色々良いレスポンスがあったので、また是非彼女を香港に呼び戻したい!!!
次はyumlaでdeep technoセットとか実現したら・・・ヤバイ!!!

next day, it's in season of "german oktober fest" then we had great dinner in germany restaurant with beer and sausage, and hopped into spanish restaurant to grab awesome oysters.

パーティー終了後、翌日は"german oktober fest"のシーズンだったのもありビール、ソーセージで打ち上げ、更にスパニッシュレストランでナイスなオイスターも頂きました。

the 1st party of humzap finished.
she is great dj enough to make us motivated to keep droping much more good music in hk.
thanks so much m.y.k.. see you soon again !!!
yeaaaman !!!

humzapの第1発目のパーティー無事に終了。
でも今後香港を中心に活動するにあたって、もっともっとこの土地に良い音楽をドロップして行きたいと思わせてくれるようなナイスなdjでした。
ミユキさん、本当にお疲れ様でした。またすぐ会いましょう !!!
ヤーマン!!!

we are humzap !!!

2008-11-03T01:49:00.011+08:00

yeaaaman !!! we just launched "humzap entertainment" here in hong kong.
our aim is absolutely activation of underground dance music and also any other real good music.

there are many easy (or cheesy?!) music in city and pretty hard to meet or accept various great music which has already been popular in europe, united states or japan though we are gonna try to change the situation. however, we won't be convinced too much, we also know simply should bring NICE MUSIC to have NICE PARTY !!!

we mainly will organize party and invite guest dj and artist who is we believe SICK. going to invite guest from japan to hong kong in beginning but of course love to connect to everywhere oversea in future if right direction.
for japanese djs and artists, we also support you with management, translation, taking care in other country.

official website is under construction. will show djs and artists information there so please send us your "MIXSET or LIVESET as DEMO", "PHOTO", "BIOGRAPHY" if you have interest and freakness. needless to say, it's not about where do you live or where are you from.
contact to - info.humzap@gmail.com

it must take for a while to complete the website so here is the place to get all of our information and report of party, activity, recommend music, whatever we want to say.
anyway, hope you bookmark here and keep checking out us.
thanxxxxx!!!

ヤーマン!!!　先日ここ香港にて"humzap entertainment"を立ち上げました。
狙いは当然アンダーグラウンド・ダンスミュージックとその他の様々なリアルグッドミュージックの活性化。

いわゆる分かりやすい音楽が街の多くに氾濫し、欧米や日本では既に市民権を得ている様な音楽がなかなか入って来ない、受け入れられない状況を何とか変えて行きたいという思いを胸に、でも肩に力を入れすぎることなくナイスな音をナイスなパーティーで鳴らし続けて行こうと思う次第であります!!!

主に自分達がヤバイ!と思うDJやアーティストをゲストに招待してパーティーを開催して行く予定です。まずは日本からのゲストを香港にというスタンスから出発の予定ですが、もちろん良い方向性であれば先は他の国ともガンガン繋げて行くつもりです。
日本からのDJ・アーティストの方々に対しては海外でのマネージメントや通訳などをサポートさせて頂きます。

現在オフィシャルウェブサイトを製作中です。DJ・アーティスト情報を公開して行きますので興味のある方、掲載を希望される方はまずデモ音源と写真とプロフィール（あれば英語版も）送って下さい。もちろん地域や国籍などは問いません。
送り先はこちらへ - info.humzap@gmail.com

ウェブ完成まではこのブログにてパーティーの告知やレポート、その他の活動や曲のレコメンドなどを綴って行きます。
とりあえずこのページをブックマークの方向で。
今後とも宜しくお願いします。
