History Made in Tokyo: The Yume Fest Tokyo 2010

The Yume Fest 2010 Tokyo was a total success! The caliber of artist and DJ performances were amazing and telling by the photos and videos, EVERYone who attended The Yume Fest 2010 Tokyo in Harajuku's UCess Lounge thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
(夢=Yume is dream in Japanese)

Thank you to Michael "YUME Mike" Peterson for trusting and sharing his dream, The Yume Fest with me and my company ENTokyo LLC. Although he was unable to come to Tokyo unexpectedly, we produced The Yume Fest with care and attention only ENTokyo can provide to emerging brands in this market.

Thank you to Mariko "@TokyoTwilighter" Lochridge, Aquiles "The VJ" Hadjis, and Kojoe "@IAmKojoe" for all of your help in planning and producing this event. Thank you to all of you who contributed, promoted, and sponsored this historic event. We look forward to The Yume Fest 2011 Tokyo and beyond. @YumeAndBeyond x @ENTokyoJP

DaiTime Tokyo w. Legendary DJ Clark Kent

@DJCK_Brooklyn

I finally had the chance to catch the legendary DJ Clark Kent in Tokyo. Shout out to Anthony "AXG" Gilbert for putting us in contact a long time ago! He came to La Baron to bless the crowd with a set. I was blessed with the opportunity to observe, learn, and go track for track with him. In this picture we are discussing the misspelling of Brooklyn on this Japanese dude's shirt. "Blooklyn": I explained the difficulty w. Ls & Rs

"Drunk-In Japan" Mr. October

My friends and I are making a calendar of people who are "Drunk-In Japan" that we come across passed out on the streets and trains. Alcoholism is on a whole new level in Japan. Can somebody say "AA"?!

My 1st Artist DJ Event: Kojoe Live

I was really nervous at the thought of being the DJ for an artist's live set. There is a lot going on in the background besides playing the music like interacting with the artist and audience, and being on the mic at the right time, and understanding & speaking Japanese.

@Daisha_Hunter
www.DaiTime.com

Deejaying for a live artist's performance looks exciting and Hip Hop DJs always look like they have a blast. I'm nowhere near being the Hip Hop DJ I want to be, but I look forward to doing more live events. It was a blessing to be able to work with Kojoe, who alone will be an artist to watch take over the globe in the next year. I was able to shine my Dai*Light behind his performance at Velours in Aoyama.

Video Flyer Here Facebook Here


DJ Tikka will be joining us to play a set. She just started a six month residency at Sputnik (NYC) called Wednesgayz... she runs That's My Jam with Trent ... she DJ's at the Rubin Museum and The Bell House ... and she's been on stages, or rocking after-parties, for Toshi Reagon, Meshell N'Degeocello, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Jean Grae, MC Lyte, TV on the Radio, The Gossip, Murray Hill, and more!

What's more...from 21pm - 23pm, a chef specializing in Indian cuisine will provide a gateway to the Real India. And from 23pm we go Bhangra all night long.

She comes from a family of instrument builders in Kolkata, India, that's been building harmoniums since 1923. The music she makes is strongly influenced by all of the different places she's lived: from India to New Jersey, from Oakland, California to, now, Brooklyn.

We are really really excited to host her ... and so ready to jam in Tokyo!

ヌヌ オススメ:The NuNu Reco Report

Just in time for Valentine season, an ear stimulant that is sure to get all digital girls and boys in computer love. Don Ghotti of Felicitous Records presents Candyland Gothica: An Electronic Love Story. Taking an “808 & Heartbreaks” approach (minus the depression and abuse of Auto-Tunes), this album makes the electro-hop/techno sounds of relationships acceptable in a club atmosphere. The heavily synthed album has a pleasing arrangement of pulsating tracks, harmonious vocal dressings, and befitting lyrics throughout the theme. Don “Ghotti” Pitts was able to create a unique audible experience without being whisked in a cliché niche by letting the world know “It’s Felicitous Bitch!”

Recommendation for DJs That Play:
Electro
House
Techno
Baltimore Club
Lounge

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 東京

I celebrated all week and I had to make sure Tokyo was warmed up early in the weekend with my Boxer friend Katieちゃん!

Then I took the night with my 渋谷ガル Crew!

Halloween was fun! If you were in Tokyo and you didn't hit the streets of Roppongi, you missed the true Halloween Parade!

My friends and I went dressed as Shibuya girls, decorated in too much makeup, crazy clothing combos, huge purses/shopping bags, ultra nails, and too big hair!

It wouldn't be real without a trip to PuriKuraプリクラブ！
かわいいいいいいいい！

My 1 Year Anniversary @ Dr. Sketchy's Tokyo

Burlesque. Drawing. Party. Drinks. Music. Contests. Crazy. Fun. Tokyo.

I was never good at art or drawing and I wasn't familiar with Burlesque entertainment. Last year, when Lady Elle, the host and organizer of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School in Tokyo put a post out for a DJ needed at her monthly event, I thought it would be fun to practice my new hobby at something as interesting as a burlesque art event.

Every month the colorful cast hosts an event The Pink Cow in Shibuya, which features a Burlesque model or performer who struts, dances, and poses for the audience during 3 acts of fun contests, music, and sketch challenges.

This September marked my 1 year anniversary as Dr. Sketchy Tokyo's Anti-Art School's resident DJ. I made a special mix CD, The Best of Burlesque Act 1 for those sketch monkey's starting a one year membership.
If you are ever in Tokyo, bring your pencils and pads and come through to the best in
Burlesque Artertainment!

Ghost Hunter

Waiting for the best of my Ghost photos by Holgar Karas, a German goth, bondage, and fetish photographer here in Tokyo. We shot in Yoyogi Park, near Harajuku. The rest of the photos look sick! I always wanted to be in a horror movie-this is a start:)

My 1st Red Carpet: G.I. Joe Japan Premier

I had the opportunity to attend the Japan premier and red carpet of G. I. Joe. I didn’t know what to expect because I forgot what the theme of the cartoon was besides an army, and I remember the action figures. I watched trailers and interviews but I wasn’t sure what to expect from Marlon Wayans. I would have cast Tyrese in the role by default. He seems to always play in films like these.

G.I. Joe premiered the same day as the release in the USA. I got to watch the screener and interview cast on the red carpet at Tokyo’s LaLaPort. I first spoke with Sienna Miller who played Baroness. She was very pleasant. I forgot to ask her about filming in that leather outfit. I definitely want to be her for Halloween! Then the producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura spoke with me. He was so kind and just seemed like a jolly man without Christmas! I was there to film for FOX Backstage Pass and Access E Online. On the carpet, we were flagged to only speak with those two, but after Marlon Wayans passed the first Japanese interviewer and spotted me he said, “Hey! You’re not Asian”! We began talking, and he is definitely a ball of energy and comedy. I laughed the whole time he went down the carpet messing with the other interviewers. I’m definitely looking forward to the next “White Chicks” movie. That had my Grandmom and I rolling! Channing Tatum is fine on and off screen and Rachael Nichols is tall and gorgeous in person. Byung-hun Lee gets all the love in Asia! Now that is a handsome dude!

I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. I expected the action, great CG and fighting. There was non-stop action though and my eyeballs were hurting. I wanted to blink but couldn’t. I thought the movie was funny and kept jokes coming. Marlon did a great job because he wasn’t playing a serious role I had predicted, but was able to be mildly comical and not overdo it. I thought the story flowed well and I look forward to the sequels.

My Brother's DaiTime in Tokyo

I've been blessed to have 3 of my family members visit me in the past year. My dad came last August, my grandmother came during cherry blossom season, and my little brother came for summertime. He starts college this year and I had to make sure he enjoyed his time in Tokyo. I think it ruined him really. I don't know how you go back to life in the U.S. after experiencing this as a young man!

In "The GHETTO"

I went to "The Ghetto" with my friends todai. It was weird to roll up on a building that looked like this, in Shin Okubo, "Korea Town," next to Shinjuku. I didn't know what to expect. I thought it was a biker gang hangout, like in "The Golden Child."

It turned out to be a restaurant & bar-Hells Kitchen, art gallery, shops, and Hip Hop/skater hangout.

This is a cool, Hip Hop, skate haven, with a real ramp built inside one of the rooms, and some of the oldest Hip Hop memorabilia all over the place. "Wild Style," and Fat Boys videos were playing on VHS and projector screens. There was graffiti DJs were free to get up and spin on the tables as the wished.

Upstairs held a small art gallery-HYAKU, and a children's skateboard clothing store-FLAKE, along with a section of throwback figurines and toys.

B-Girl and DJ, Sarasa led us into "The Ghetto" and I can't wait to go back for some live graff, breakin', skating, and Hip Hop!
