Kazu started his DJ career back in 1987 playing at clubs in Tokyo and Nagano Japan.
His passion for the music convinced him to become a professional DJ at the early age of 19 which was no easy task at this time Japanese society. Teaming up with DJ Baby Tokyo at the early age of 20 they went on to launch some of the earliest dance parties in Tokyo setting up Voice Production in 89′.
The concept was a multimedia mix control (DJ event/visuals/fashion) company and it was a big movement for the Club culture of Tokyo at the time.
Kazu first toured the USA back in 1990 playing club Medusa in Chicago and the legendary Trax in Washington DC. After returned from the States he started production of his own where he was featured on early Japanese Dj compilations such as Tokyo Explosion ‘, Vol 1 and 2 of Crown Records Japan in early Moveo Australia in 94′ and he was received with open arms wowing local crowds and was immediately enlisted for shows across the country – from Perth to Sydney, Hobart to Melbourne (techno city) where he was widely acclaimed as the most popular techno DJ. All this while still travelling between Australia and Japan where he would play at the famous super club “Liquid Room” Tokyo. One of Holland’s best underground Techno / House Labels “Touché” approached him to release his own material and has to date released ‘Sound Media’ 4 Tracks EP through Touche’s sub label Jam 95′. Mushroom Distribution service Australia approached him to mix the first ever DJ Excursions series CD vol 3, a first for Australia.
