SOICHI Kobe Born in 1987, lives in Hyogo - he is a DJ based in Troopcafe in Kobe. Enchanted by street culture such as Skateboard, BMX and so on when he was in his 10s and influenced by club music culture which co-exists with it, he started clubbing and his career as a DJ. The basis of his music is the kind of sound that is emotional and minimal - it has a stable flow, but at the same time there’s always something unexpected in it. He has become a resident DJ for “Bush", a House & Techno party which has been running for a long time in Troopcafe. He has invited various DJs and artists both from inside and outside Japan to the party, such as Margaret Dygas, Vera, Daniel Bell, Dorian Paic, and DJ Masda. In February 2016, he has played in Troopcafe with Rhadoo, who is an important figure for [a:rpia:r] which has built the basis of Romanian minimal scene. After this, Rhadoo invited him to play in “Rhadoo & Friends @ Ibiza Underground Club,” a party by Rhadoo which takes place every Thursdays in Ibiza during summer. He has made “Howl” with Kensuke Fukushima, a DJ born who was on the same day, in the same year as him. It was released in September 2016 from Prismat Recordings (Poland). https://www.beatport.com/release/damashie/1841927 RA http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/soichi-jp Facebook https://www.facebook.com/soichi.dj/ 1987年生まれ、兵庫県在住、神戸troopcafeを活動拠点とするDJ。 10代からSkateboard、BMXなどを通しストリートで遊ぶ醍醐味の虜となり、そこに自然と流れるクラブミュージックカルチャーに影響を受けクラブに通うとともにDJのキャリアをスタートさせる。 エモーショナルでミニマルなサウンドを基調とし一夜の流れを意識した安定感もありながら少しの意外性を落とし込む飽きのこないplayを得意とする。 近年はMargaret Dygas、Vera、Daniel Bell、Dorian Paic、dj masdaなど国内外からさまざまなリアルDJと言えるアーティストを招いてtroopcafeで最も永きに渡り開催されるhouse & techno party『Bush』のレジデントDJを勤めるまでに成長した。 ルーマニアン・ミニマルシーンの礎を築き上げた[a:rpia:r]の中心人物Rhadooと2016年2月にtroopcafeで共演した際にDJ playを絶賛されスペインはIbizaで夏の間毎週木曜に開催されているRhadooのレギュラーparty『Rhadoo & Friends @ Ibiza Underground Club』でplayする事を許された。この経験を昇華し彼のDJはまた洗練される事だろう。 また楽曲制作においては全く同じ日に生まれた同い年DJのKensuke Fukushimaと共作した『Howl』がPrismat Recordings(Poland)より2016年９月にリリースされた。 https://www.beatport.com/release/damashie/1841927 RA http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/soichi-jp Facebook https://www.facebook.com/soichi.dj/
