Oh that's awesome! Still at it! I was considering going back in April as its my birthday and I hear the cherry blossom festivals are fun to attend. 

I have 2 weeklies I run currently, they are silent discos and its been surprisingly fun! We are calling the production company "Silent Nights" since it is based around silent disco. Every Sunday is "Silent Sundays" and every Wednesday is called "Deep Cuts." We don't have a website launched yet but that is on the way and we are starting to do more private bookings with the system. I'll be doing a gig in San Diego on the 23rd of this month actually and it's one of my first big bookings. 

I will definitely make it a point to check out 06S and Hangover next time I am in Tokyo which I hope is sooner rather than later. My time in Tokyo was really wonderful and I have been considering moving to Tokyo for 3-6 months to study and hang out. Im hoping to get my ducks in a row these next few months in the states and then I will have the freedom to go spend the time I want abroad. A week in Tokyo was far far too short.

2 weeklies is a lot of work! I've always done monthlies and thought that was a pain in the ass booking, flyers, etc. I can't imagine doing 2 weeklies! 

Shoot me a link to the SD party. I'll see if I can make it down there. My good friend is in SD and he has been DJ & producing as long as I have, 23 years! He teaches Ableton for a living.

I forgot to mention I also use to play house/deep house so I can appreciate a lot of other music besides DnB, but DnB runs through my veins. 

So what you are thinking about doing is what I did, went to visit Japan for 2 weeks, fell in love with it and moved over. The city draws you in and everyday there is an adventure in living. If our event takes off I will be doing it monthly and you are welcome to play.

4/14 is the date of our first event. It's a smaller club, but I didn't want to go too big right away. I'd rather ram the place and have energy & everyone talking about it than have it be half empty with less energy. Some of the Steemit-JP people will be speaking with me for the first hour about Steemit & Crypto so should be a great night. Let me know if you will be in town.

You know, I thought 2 weeklies was going to be crazy as well but it has ended up being fairly straightforward. I started out in the rave scene 10 years ago and everything I learned came through that scene. Now my events don't use any of the typical techniques I am used to seeing all the other events do and I sell out almost every event. We have some great DJs we work with that no one knows really and we rarely book out anyone all too well known yet somehow its been amazing. In fact none of the people I know from the rave scene come to any of my events, it is all a different group of people which has been a huge surprise. 

The party in SD is a private gig for a black tie event at the Hilton so nothing special there haha they are just using my system for the night and having us run it and DJ for them. 

I definitely enjoyed my week in Tokyo and I met some amazing people so I already want to come back. It also helps that I have been studying the language a bit so it felt really awesome to be able to talk to people even if it was just a little bit. My life is a little crazy right now and I have some things to take care of for a bit but once that is out of the way I would like to seriously consider spending some more time in Japan. I still have only been to Tokyo so I would like to visit other places in Japan before I decide to move anywhere lol  That being said if it does work out I was planning on coming back to Tokyo in April as its my birthday and cherry blossoms and better weather. If that manages to work out I will definitely hit you up and try and attend the event!  It sounds like it is going to be really cool and I have enjoyed meeting more and more steemit people. Everyone has been incredibly friendly and and interesting!
