J.A.K.A.M. / ASTRAL DUB WORX

His "ASIAN DUB" series of projects, which started in 2016, is undoubtedly a strong pillar of this album. However, this album also features tracks released on labels in the Middle East and Europe, including Israel, Berlin, and France. These tracks add a global perspective to the album, not only from Asia. With the addition of engineer NAOYUKI UCHIDA's(LITTLE TEMPO、OKI DUB AINU BAND、DRY&HEAVY、FLYING RHYTHMS) amazing dub work, and the incorporation of folk instruments from all over the world, this album is a great album that transcends the boundaries between dance music and world music.

http://www.nxs.jp/artist

Native of Tokyo, has been one of the leading figures developing music scenes in Japan from the early 90s as a DJ, producer, label owner and a band member. He has been exposed to all genres of music from House, Hip Hop, Drum&Bass, Techno, Reggae, Jazz, Rock to World Music. He combines these inspirations and turns them into a sound that's sort of a fusion of early stage tribal house and world music with a touch of tribal vibes. His one of a kind music offers the most unique experience on a dance floor. From his travel around the world, recording music and DJing, he has extended his fans on both sides of the decks, listeners and artists.

Both listeners and artists alike admire his work in Japan. From contemporary to roots, he delves into new visions of sound and conjures something new.

He's releasing many works from his label Crosspoint & these labels: Grand Royal,Werner Japan,Bacteria Sour,Comma,Sound Channel,Natural Resource,Motech,Sacred Rhythm, Hard Fist & Malka Tuti.
