hi all
yeah, jon is right here, the automator is Dan Nakamura, and DJ Takemura is
from Kyoto i think, and is part of the japanese AJ/Dance music scene along
with UFO.
Nobukazu Takemura has put out some very cool stuff. check out Child's View
on Bellisima, as well as the remix version of that album with contributions
by Roni Size, DC Lee, and more. The remixes are definitely in the drum n
bass vibe, and is a lot more electronic-y where the original versions are
more melodic.
