REE.K (texy by Mark Richard) REE.K although one of the most famous female DJ in Japan is also respected worldwide for her unique and original sound sets! As a teenager she began her musical career as a guitarist in a hardcore punk band. So her music even today sometimes has a hardcore edge with a female touch while remaining fun and danceable. In the early 80s she discovered the bouncing track style of recording which drove her deeply into the world of DJ production. She then began to create her own unique club music in the early 90s as a techno and body industrial DJ.

In 2002 she started her own label with husband Masa called Hypnodisk. This label is sure to become a forefront of her own musical diversification as well as a that of other artists. Recently as a cofounder of her own band Kinocosmo with Masa she is in charge of musical production, programming, and spacey voice. This band has allowed her to enjoy playing live once again as she used to in her early days and is sure to become a phenomenon on the rock/electronica live stage. Along with her great music talent she was originally a VJ(with Equinox and TTT Records), now she is also a professional illustrator and graphic designer since the late 80s and thoroughly enjoys creating her own party flyers, CD covers, and eye catching graphics.

This helped him to shape a circular thinking around Electronica and therefore proceed as been a party thrower into various places . It was only natural music production to take place so after his graduation on CGA he bought his first equipment and start composing some beats . To make the long story short add a lot of luck, dedication and hard work made him releasing his virginal debut as a full length album on the mighty Yellow Sunshine Explosion . His “Air” album became an instant sold out seller which drove him into producing / releasing imprints on several V/As of the label along with another banging EP on Tribal Vision and another album “ Back Home “ . Mixes as his moniker Fog appeared also at labels such as Iboga / Shivlink / and Open as well . Elastic is a project that’s taking his time before making the next move since the same thing after all these years stands the same. Love and care about music and audience .
