Well, this one sure takes me back. Yoji Biomehanika is a hard house/hard dance DJ you’ve probably never heard of, and plays music harder than anything you’ve ever heard. I’m serious, this guy headlined Sensation Black, back when hard trance & hard dance were still genres of music people listened to. For the faint of heart, you’ll want to fast-forward through the first 60 seconds to get to the good part. Yoji, while super heavy & frenetic, can create the most beautiful, trance-inducing hard vibes, unlike anything you’ve heard from a DJ that hails from America, Australia or Europe. Japan has some of the craziest dance music out there, and Yoji has led that charge. I’ve been jamming out to this guy for almost 10 years. The vibe he creates can only be described as “rave in Neo-Tokyo.” There are very few DJs that can keep the energy up like he can, and to celebrate his glorious return, I’m going to be peppering my blog with Yoji related posts this week. If you can’t handle it, run & hide. If you’re as excited for this as I am, his album dropped literally 48hrs ago and you can grab it here and here.
Japan Has A Raving Robot Rock Restaurant. It’s A Bit Much.
Vitamin Water Forgets People In New York Have Internet.
Two weeks ago, Vitamin Water debuted a new commercial for its coconut water shot in NYC. The NYC they’re discussing however, has no connection to anything I’ve experienced. While I’ve read about baby exercise, ramen burgers & dinner theater, very few of us have the time, organization or cash flow to actually get a ramen burger. I also do not have an MC following me around with a giant boombox for a head. The ad is wild and somewhat hilarious, with some decent hip hop (for an ad) interspersed throughout & the giant boombox changes like an anime character depending on the scene. Hey Japanese people, just ask me, I’ll show you to the right spots in Brooklyn, don’t listen to Glaceau.
