where

with introducing from great friend of mine, i just found a awesome place in tsim sha tsui last week.
and i've just played on last friday for trial but wes really fun.
a few friends came to support me and we are completely drunk, and more i played for 5hours and half straight away after all !!!

spinned mainly mellow jazzy hiphop with some middle school, jazz bossa, disco, deep house, jazz house.
i played these kind of music a lot when i was in japan but almost got bored coz many music in these field got so commercial and cheesy now.
but all my tunes i played (which i brought to hk) are still my favorite.
so i'm really appreciated people liked my selection on that night.

yes, some of tech house and minimal are also really boring for me now.
i know myself need to be fresh all the time so this action might be a pretty good timing to give me a fresh feeling again.

time for mixing everything !!!
i believe this diverse selection is my biggest advantage in hk.
pretty sure not so many ppl can copy my style !!!

so i promise there will be some worth to come and check out my lounge set.
it's not the one you can see anywhere, but only at "where" !!!

where 4/F Century House, 3-4 Hanoi Road, TST

my favorite tunes

lately, i'm a bit cool down from heavy electronic music and prefer to listen and dance with some organic and trippy sounds like jam style dance music which i believe more ravy shit for today.

of coz i still love deep techno and tech house as well as many more electronic music but sure myself really go into something different with other djs in hk.

here are some kind of my favorite tunes which is fucking dope underground hit in japan.
throw me a word if anybody like this shit !!!

dj taku hirayama - biography

*English

Taku Hirayama is known for his eclectic DJ style and versatile quality music selection.
Stepped into the club scene in Fukuoka, Japan in the late 90’s when jazz and electronic music were being crossover, he naturally went for that specific jazzy sound and further more electronic based sound. With his DJ career taking off in 2000, he was offered residency at a local club "Kieth Flack" in Fukuoka where he has been able to show the local crowd what sound fusion was really about. During his residency, he especially focused onto jazz and soulful house but eventually enriched his sound spectrum with any kind of good music to create soundscape that people really could move to. With such his diverse of music selection, he got many opportunity at clubs and bars as well as supporting act for domestic and international guest DJs visiting in town.
Eventually, he went into more electronic sound like disco dub, tech house, minimal, techno which he absolutely appreciates today. In 2006, he relocated himself in Hong Kong, for 4years his passion for music never stop growing and many different walks of life in the chaotic city inspired him to enhanced further spectrum. It allowed him to expand his musical awareness which drove him into the many party from clubs, bars, restaurants and hotels, even on the boat or beach, almost everywhere in the city. Mainly played as resident of "Yumla" "W Hotel" "Adidas Original Concept Store" and many more gigs like every weekend as well as fashion brand’s party such as Adidas, Undercover, Bathing Ape, to name some. Also as a promoter, he managed some talented DJs between Hong Kong and Japan to create bridge between his roots and oversea. “Asian Force” is a project which he coordinates from his home, Fukuoka since 2009.
Returned back to Fukuoka in 2010 autumn and invited to play at Air Tokyo as guest DJ soon after. Now he is rooted in his town and plays for "Nex @ Kieth Flack" "HxGxT @ Air" as a resident and also going back to play in Hong Kong for a couple of times in a year.




*Japanese


様々な音楽がクロスオーヴァーを始めていた90年代後半のClub Jazzシーンに衝撃を受け、2000年頃より地元福岡のクラブ"Kieth Flack"を中心にDJ活動を開始。JazzやSoulful Houseを基調とした生音寄りのスタイルから、連日連夜のパーティーを通して幅広い音楽に触れその雑食性を高め、次第にジャンル問わず様々なパーティーでプレイする様になる。国内外のゲストDJ・アーティストのサポートアクトも多数。2000年代中頃からはDisco Dub, Tech House, Minimal, Technoなどよりエレクトロニックなダンスミュージックに傾倒し、2006年の秋に拠点を香港に移す。
香港でもその幅広い選曲とフレキシブルなDJスタイルを活かし、大箱・小箱・ホテル・野外・船など場所や規模を問わず様々なパーティーでプレイ。中でも香港随一の良質でアンダーグラウンドなエレクトロニックミュージックを展開する小箱"Yumla"を中心に、"W Hotel Hong Kong"や"Adidas Original Concept Store"などでもレジデントを務めた。あらゆる人種が小さな島の中に混在する香港という大都市でインスピレーションを膨らませ、独自の感覚で音楽を吸収し続け活動。新旧・ジャンルを問わず良質な音楽からの影響を大量のアルコールと共に、Disco・House・Technoといった4つ打ちのダンスミュージックに落とし込み、Deep・Spacy・Tribal・Funkyな「質感」に変えて行くDJスタイル。また2008年以降は香港と日本の間で様々なDJやパーティーのブッキングやコーディネートも手掛け、2009年より始動したパーティー"Asian Force"では福岡と香港にてプロモーターとして両都市で活動。
2010年秋に地元福岡に帰国し、その直後には代官山AirにてゲストDJとしてプレイ。現在はKieth Flackのハウスミュージックパーティー"Nex"、不定期開催の"HxGxT"でレジデントDJを務めながら、年に数回香港でもプレイし続けている。また楽曲制作も再開し、福岡親不孝通りに根を張り活動中。
