In recent years, more and more female DJ's are emerging on the club scene. Among these, DJaa stands out for her selection of music and her techniques. After much dancing experience during her childhood, she started playing music in 1997 as an R&B DJ. In 2005, she met her good friend Yu, whom she would form the DJ unit "you&aa" with, and together they began playing house music. "you&aa" were booked to play over 100 parties in a year, which included playing at some of Tokyo's top clubs, New Years events, beach parties and other venues around Tokyo. Now, she plays alone and has increased her venue range to include cafes and lounges. DJaa creates an atmosphere anywhere she plays. When she plays for a dance club, you can feel her background in dance coming through the music and her selection of minimal and techno beats will tickle the mood on the floor. When you hear DJaa play, you will feel her passion for the music.

Music and art can very much touch us with the essence of symmetry, balance, fluidity, cohesion whilst their counterparts: dis-juncture, chaos, inertia, provide the tension that makes for the through-line: Story.

No wonder then that Xavier Morel, a veteran and simply awesome producer and Dj speaks in such terms. In these days where the distinction between artist and playlist are becoming less distinct, the essence of audio art is becoming distilled in its import.

"The most important concept in music is not the way you play your tracks but the story you make with them! Mixing and music is my passion and my career. I hope to carry and share this as long as possible!" - Xavier Morel

Starting his DJ career off in 1988 Xavier has Dj'd throughout Europe, Australia and Asia, most particularly Japan where he was based for years.

On the production front has worked and collaborated with Juno Reactor, Prime Suspect, Section X, Eat Static, Fuel, Carcharodon Megalodon, VX & H229 (on Machine Label),Marcus Maichel,Shane Berry,Oz Morsley ,and project comming with greg hunter,Marcus Maichel.
