Kotsu(CYK|UNTITLED)

1995年千葉県市川市生まれ。
ハウス・ミュージック・コレクティブ『CYK』のメンバーとして様々なヴェニューでパーティーをオーガナイズし、Baba StiltzやMall Grab、Ross From Friendsなど数々のアップカミングなDJ/プロデューサーを招聘。2020年には幻の開催となったフェスティバル「Rainbow Disco Club」にラインナップされた。

B2Bスタイルを軸に広義の”ハウス”の解釈のもと、日本を中心に海外も含めた様々なシチュエーションでプレイを重ねている。また、旧来のハウス・ミュージック・カルチャーに準拠し、セーフスペースの概念に重きを置いたフロア作りを行なっている。

ソロではジャンルに縛られず国内外で多くのギグを重ねる傍ら、昨年9月まで渋谷KOARAにて『UNTITLED』を主催し、京都へ移住以降も場所を問わず不定期で開催している。DJingというアートフォームの可能性実験や、ダンス・コミュニティの濃密なフォーラムとして機能している。加えてグラフィックデザインやZINEの製作を行うなど、あらゆるフォーマットでアウトプットを行なっている。”DJ”という肩書きに依拠せず活動する彼は、この時代に投下された一種の吸収体による純粋な反応に過ぎない。

また、先述の通り現在は京都に1年間限定で移住しており関西圏でのギグを始め、岡山YEBISU YA PROでのレギュラーパーティーや広島、熊本、大分でのギグなどコロナ渦以降のダンスミュージックシーンを観察すべく全国を周遊中。

-CYK-
It was a natural thing that CYK came to be — when some of Tokyo’s house freaks came together to throw their own party.
Not only a platform for showcasing international guests, CYK is also a collective of DJs, organizers, promoters.

We don’t propose any lofty aims as a crew — we simply love to keep representing proper grooviness and to draw partygoers into exciting and immersive dance spaces.
Keep your eyes open! More info will be coming soon.

The first mix of the year is here. A real treat by Nagoya based digger and party host Tankaka Disco! As a resident DJ at multiple parties like CISCO and GARDEN at the famous Mago club in Nagoya, Tanaka has perfected his selections and style of deep house, techno, Detroit and Chicago flavours.

It was a natural thing that CYK came to be — when some of Tokyo’s house freaks came together to throw their own party.Not only a platform for showcasing international guests, CYK is also a collective of DJs, organizers, promoters.

CYK is the Tokyo-based house music collective consisting of Nari, Kotsu, Naoki Takebayashi, and DNG. They have invited cutting-edge artists from Japan and abroad such as Mall Grab, HAAi, Baba Stiltz, KENJI TAKIMI, Avalon Emerson, Jun Kamoda, Skin On Skin, and more. Other parties have been held in a variety of formats, including the "CYK All Night Long" series, in which four CYK members create a night with only B2B, and the "CYK & Friends" series, which focuses on hooking up with local DJs close to home and abroad.

The members are constantly offered B2B sets, and have played at Venues in Tokyo such as CONTACT and VENT, as well as at big festivals such as "Rainbow Disco Club", "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL" and "Wonderfruit Festival" .

CYK doesn’t propose any lofty aims as a crew — we simply love to keep representing proper grooviness and to draw partygoers into exciting and immersive dance spaces.
Keep your eyes open! More info will be coming soon.
