For Paradise - Salsoul Mix - Selected & Mixed by Danny Krivit: Release Party

Veteran #1 - Danny Krivit

In 1957, 25 years before the first CD players appeared in shops and when Fats Domino was topping the charts with Blueberry Hill, Danny Krivit was born.

After more than thirty years in the re-mixing and DJing business he is still twiddling that trusty vinyl in 2003, and flocks of new fans are discovering his disco-bent garage/house that in 2001 spawned the keynote NYC bash Body & Soul.

He's a vet you won't regret.

4/11 (Fri) 20:00 @ Grand Cafe. \3000 (1D). Guest DJ: Danny Krivit. DJs: Tokusaburo, Gehimania

Detroit Beatdown Japan Tour, feat.
Mike 'Agent X' Clark

Veteran #2 - Mike Clark

Another Duracell of dance drops in on Kansai this month at Zing, where you can chill out on sofas and chat on the terrace if your legs run out of...err, zing.

Detroit's Agent X, like Danny Krivit, started spinning in the seventies.

Now he continues to spread smiles in the 'naughties' with his happy and snappy disco-house.

It'll make you realise that Osaka is still cool.

4/25 (Fri) 22:00 @ ZING. \2500 (1D), w/flyer: \2000 (1D).
DJs: Mike Clark a.k.a. Agent X (Detroit), Lovegod, Kg Shimazaki. VJ: Yoshi.
