Takashi started DJing as a student in Fukuoka (the home of Tonkotsu Ramen), and claimed his deejaying moniker (he DJ’s as DJ Warp) thanks to the Warp label t-shirt he was wearing the first time he spun records. In the intervening years he’s developed a taste for superb hard house and deep – minimalistic techno, and – after a stint in Okayama, where he ran small underground techno events “Pulse”, he moved back to Kyushu, where he now spins, makes music and runs Missile parties in Kagoshima.
