QOTAROO’s Biography
Born in Osaka, Japan in 1977.
Started DJing as a House music DJ when he was a teenager.
Participated “Burning Man”, the most famous freaky art festival in 2003. Then organized many parties as a booking manager of Club Zing, Osaka.
Has been producing artworks for the party flyer, CD & vinyl jacket, advertisement, WEB and apparel brand throughout Japan.
Now based in Osaka, takes part in ‘Original Future Dance Party’ called “POWWOW” and a creator’s mixed media production “Cosmic Lab”.

“QOTAROO is a graphic artist / designer and one of leaders of a party scene in Kansai (West Japan). In past, he organized many parties as a booking manager of Club Zing. Now he holds Powwow at various places in Japan dropping imagination, which comes from parties, into his designs while he circulates dance floors and designs. Like he says ‘When making flyers and jackets, I think I make colors for melodies and shapes for grooves. And it’s a translation from hearing to sight.’ QOTAROO expresses, very naturally and closely, feelings and vibrations DJs put into sounds. ‘I Watch the sound. I hear the light.’ This sense is the true charm of QOTAROO’s designs.”

altz_musica

ALTZ

Born in Gifu, grew up in Osaka!! His music starts with boom box and guitar at adolescent age. As band music booms in 80′s, he played in several bands ( JUNKYARD, RUMBLE FISH, etc.) as he livened up with mandolin, base and slide guitar. As he gets the essence of psychedelics, hard rock, folk, pops, southern country and black music, his musical soul shines a unique light. At Osaka Art University, he learned wanderlust. He made trip to India and SouthEast Asian countries. The psychedelic culture around these places lead him to more electric way. As he records with MPC sampler, those sounds become the foundation of ALTZ music. And time to move comes. The party ” FLOWER OF LIFE” which connects Osaka to the Universe began at Misono building with betaland and so on in 2002. He released his 1st album “FANTASTICO” from rare breeze label which is handled by WOODMAN, the man of wonderful power. As he plays DJ at big gigs to small underground secret party, he began to release full albums. “La La La” (2005 LASTRUM), “Yell” (2006 BEAR FUNK), “V4″ (2007 LASTRUM) have released so far, and each of them are unique original groove with funny and funky taste and mysterious tune. And he’s working with a special talented sound engineer KABAMIX. Overseas, his music jumps out of Japan and connected to Steve “Fella” Kotey, Idjut Boys, Strangefruits, Brennan Green and so many. Tours in London, NY and Bhutan, releases 12inch and albums from BEAR FUNK, DFA. Including remixes for domestic and overseas artists, now he releases quite a lot of takes. With his no-categorised music, he plays in all types of festivals, parties to local gigs in underground way. Recently, he provides music to DVDs, game tracks and TV ads. And also, he uses many different names to release different feelings, such as WALTZ and ADALTZ made big impact on the scene. Recent works are “EPICS AND DONUTS/MUNGOLIAN JETSET REMIX”, “CRO-MAGNON/THE REMIX” (LASTRUM), “DUBDUB ON-SENG / CALYPSO ON-SENG” (JAPONICA), “BOREDOMS/VOALTZ / RERELER” (RHYTHM REPUBLIC), “UKAWANIMATION! / ZAUNDTRACK” (AVEX), “WHY NOT WALTZ/WALTZ RE-EDIT and MIX” (COSMICLAB)

SINKICHI

From KyotoThe BAND activity is started at one’s teens, and it takes charge of drums and electronics by ‘SOFT’, ‘AOA’, and ‘BASED ON KYOTO’, etc.DJ activity is begun in around 96, and it is selected for CHILL OUT DJ of ‘RAINBOW2000′ because of the morrow, and PLAY is done by the underground scene all over Japan afterwards and a lot of PARTY is organized. Okinawa spends the irrationality of this world for 07 years while looking at F22 that flits in the other side of the window flung open with U.S. bases by town of music and ‘Koza’ and the blue sky and every day when it faces the feeling turntable and PC is spent. And, the breakthrough from the situation that presides over ‘sunconscious’ ‘futurology’ and two PARTY and blockades it is tried.
