TOWA TEI “FLESH” RELEASE TOUR
Towa Tei, former member of Deee-Lite (that ultra
groovy trio from NYC), is coming to town with his long awaited new
album, titled Flesh. Along with this funky Japanese-born Korean
DJ, Tomoyuki Tanaka (Fantastic Plastic Machine) and the amazing
human beatbox AFRA will be performing in mutual celebration of the
fine refurbishment of Under Lounge in Ame Mura. For those who are
too busy with ohanami parties at the beginning of the month, Mr
Tei will also be spinning at Troop Café in Kobe on the 28th
and at World in Kyoto on the 29th. There will be a multi-colored
laser show with spectacular visual effects at the Osaka and Kyoto
shows. It's going to be a very stylish night, a perfect excuse to
ask out that special girl you fancy.

SAOMAI OPENING PARTY-PHENOMANA
A new club, SAOMAI, is opening in Namba (next
to club ROCKETS) at the end of April. It's not that big (100 people
capacity) but it's got a cozy, friendly vibe which you simply cannot
get from those mega clubs. The person kicking off for this crazy
opening bash will be Shin Nishimura, who's been DJing in Shanghai
for the last six years. Nishimura-san left for China in 1996, soon
made waves and developed a following. He continues to make a huge
contribution to today's Chinese techno scene. Chopstick&Johnjon,
on the other hand, are one of the leading electro house DJ teams
from Berlin and they've been worked with many big names including
Deep Dish, John Digweed and countless others. Eastern techno meets
Western house — sure to sound even better in person than it
does on paper.
