Q'hey (Masaya Kyuhei) started DJing in 1989 and ever since has been one of the few key individuals of Japan’s club scene (alongside mainstays Takkyu Ishino, Ken Ishii and Fumiya Tanaka). With a lot of determination, focus, hard work and with the support of loyal fans he has been one of Tokyo’s Techno milestones for many years. From club events to massive outdoor music festivals, Q'hey is the artist who always delivers.

In 1995, Q'hey's time was spent producing tracks and introducing his music to the Asian and European clubbers. Around the same time his Tokyo underground techno party was created, REBOOT at Maniac Love. With a solid line-up of DJs and with Q'hey as the main organizer of the monthly party it has been going strong for more than 14 years. Needless to say, the remarkable music quality plus the powerful fan base, is the fuel for this great everlasting party.

In 1998, after a few releases from several prominent labels he started his own label "Moon Age Recordings". This was a time for more hard work and international exposure. In a matter of months his releases were charted on the play lists of big DJs such as Sven Vath and Marco Bailey.

Until now, he released 3 mix CDs "Sound Republic" (KSR) "Reboot #001" (KSR) and "NYSO Vol.1 DJ Q'hey" (Yenzo Music). In 2006 he released the first album from Moon Age Recordings - Q'hey + Reboot "Electric Eye On Me".

His works have been some very unique projects and again delivering many superb re-mixes and productions. These were released by MB Elektronics, Pornographic Recordings, Rhythm Convert, Omega Audio among others. Also some releases from BluFin as Q-Ram in collaboration with Ramon Zenker from Hardfloor.

On a more technical side, he reviews DJ equipment for music magazines such as "Sound & Recordings" and "Sound Designer". With his extensive knowledge of DJ/production equipment, he also got involved in the development of MC-505 and MC-909 for Roland, providing advice and support for Yamaha and Vestax.

Q'hey has been lucky enough to DJ in countries such as Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Holland and Poland. In between long hours in the studio and DJing domestically he is continuing to add some more international gigs to his list.

After the earthquake disaster in Japan, Q'hey established charity project "BPM Japan - Be Positive by Music Japan" and continues working to make donations for the victims by making compilation albums, releases and events.

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in south of Germany to a vietnamese artist family, chopstick aka Chi-Thien Nguyen may not be able to lay claim to having dated Gisele Bündchen, neither did he invent the Roland TB-303 nor has been punk’d on MTV. But with 10 years of classical piano lessons, 3 years of spanish guitar lessons, 2 years of music harmony lesson, 10 years of studio skills and 4 years of turntable experience under his belt, chopstick is able to lay claim to a production and DJ sound that is genuinely all his own. No Wonder he has remixed artists such as Madonna, Britney Spears, LL Cool J, Xzibit, Deep Dish, Miss Kittin, Sister Sledge, etc. to name only a few.

After having lived in Stuttgart, Vancouver and Hamburg, chopstick is now based in Germany’s electronic music metropole Berlin. Not satisfied with just being a forward thinking producer and DJ, he also cut his teeth in label management with Berlin based label Ministry Of Sound Recordings. He has worked as an A&R Manager for the sub-label Voidcom Records and during this period, Chopstick has learned most of the knowledge needed to run a record label. Later on he was offered a position at Silly Spider Records which he couldn’t refuse. Taking on the new challenge, he established new concepts and products which included various Mix-CD’s, Artist Development, Labelmanagement and of course his expertise: A&R’ing.

Although Chopstick’s name may not immediately trigger recognition on the DJ front, it's his work as producer, remixer and label manager that have seen him emerge as one of the scene's most talented and respected players. He has shown that he is regarded as highly for his production skills as those he displays behind the decks. His sets are always varied and inspired, playing his unique sound between minimal techno, techy house and electro, chopstick has championed this uplifting-emotional-sound throughout Australia, Asia, South America, North America and Europe to a worldwide audience playing events at clubs such as D.Edge (Sao Paulo), Module (Tokyo), SonneMondSterne Festival (Germany), Celebrities and Lotus (Vancouver), Garage (Campo Grande), Chinese Laundry (Sydney), Empire (Brisbane), Clapper (Osaka), 103 Club (Berlin), Turnmills (London) and many more.

In 2005, chopstick together with johnjon have founded their very own record label called Criminal Records, which is distributed along with labels such as Poker Flat, Mood Music, Dessous, etc. by WordAndSound in Hamburg. Their catalogue various from minimal techno to techy house music and has gained recognition by key DJ’s like Martin Landsky, Chloe.., Laurent Garnier, Funk D’Void to name only a few.

Together with longtime friend and Kling Klong Records owner Martin Eyerer, he started a new collaboration named Eyerer & Chopstick. Their releases have sold more than 20.000 vinyls (not to mention the digital download sales). Releases like “Make My Day (Haunting)“ which features Cassius Singer Philippe Zdar have been licensed to various territories and was even made Essential New Tune by Pete Tong on Radio 1 several times.

Chopstick has now released 4 Mix-CD’s, which reflect various styles of good electro house music that work very well on the dance floor. The Mix-CD’s also feature some of his own work, e.g. “She Loves It!”, which is signed to Darren Emerson’s (from Underworld’s infamous imprint Underwater Rec.) label and was in Darren’s eyes “One Of The Biggest Clubtunes in 2005”!

In fall 2007 once he had proved himself with Criminal Records, chopstick began his second label with Johnjon and André Stubbs: Baalsaal. Under his guidance the label quickly began to gain international respect. Not afraid to sign tunes that were different from the mainstream, Baalsaal quickly became recognised as a great source of quality underground sounds. At the same time André opened the doors to his club Baalsaal in Hamburg and offered a musical platform and home to chopstick, johnjon and André aka Preocoop. The three of them started to promote the labels Baalsaal and Criminal Records with monthly special clubnights called Criminal&Friends. Their concept is to invite one of their friends to come and play at their venue. Artists like Martin Landsky, Chloé, Oliver Koletzki, Dirt Crew, DJ Silversurfer, Booka Shade, Kiki and many more have raved behind their decks. Baalsaal quickly became an institution in Hamburg one cannot neglect anymore.

Whether on his own, or in partnership with his friends and peers, whether as a label manager or consultant to his friends, whether as a sound engineer or song writer, there’s something reassuring and inspiring about an individual who’s not afraid to strive for more and keep his cool at the same time.

Chin Chill is a newborn international label uniting top notch producers across the globe. With the very first release the label begins to explore tribal territories in a unique and creative style. 

The A1 E-damba by M. in & Spedro is definitely here to stay. Wisely used pure African vocals and sophisticated arrangement - the future face of the techno is already here. 

On the B1 Andrey Zots (Afu ltd, Globox), raising Moscow producer, lays his hands on E-Damba. Started as a minimal house tune, constantly evolving, no one expected this remix to transform into "zulus" tribal party. 

On the B2 Basti Grub well-known for his Hoehenregler activities rounds off this Ep with the remix in his trademark laid back manner.

Chris Air has more than thirty years of DJ'ing under his belt, making him one of the longest active spinners in the region, playing marathon-sets on the ambient-floors of the local nascent rave-scene in the early 90ies. An avid producer from the start, his music has a distinct feel for the infinite loop. Subtle, bouncy and crisply produced, his basslines, percussions and synths dance around each other in perfect harmony, while making the most of techno's fundamental repetitiveness. Having left the corporate world in order to cut back his time on industrial plants and focus more on what it's like to be the good-natured human being he truly is, Chris Air has somewhat rediscovered his love for both the studio, the club and forgetting how the hell you found your way home..

There are few individuals within the underground dance music industry able to match Chris Fortier for both influence and achievement over the last two decades. With a mandate predicated upon the deceptively simple notion of "constant musical evolution", the founder and owner of the globally renowned Fade Records, is not constrained by boundaries, reflected in both the music he plays and creates.

An extensive list of achievements is testament to such elevated ideals, perhaps best showcased by the iconic 2005 "Balance 007" compilation; a groundbreaking CD at the vanguard of a fresh, innovative and underground sound movement, that history would later record as an aural blueprint for the worldwide dance music explosion that followed in the subsequent decade and beyond. A further eight commercially released mix albums would also contain the Chris Fortier DNA.

As a production artist, Fortier's portfolio of skills have been crafted and honed through an intimate 20-year knowledge of clubs across the globe's dance-floor capitals – from Tokyo, Melbourne, Mexico City to Budapest and Buenos Aires to residencies at the legendary AAHZ in Orlando in the early 90’s through to New York's Twilo and London's The Cross. Always in demand and prolific in output, a continually rising 400 plus Beatport production credits tell only half of an impressive story. Fortier's remix of Delerium's "Silence", was the first and original remix and sold in excess of one million copies worldwide; while work for John Digweed's Bedrock imprint further cemented an ever-growing reputation alongside the full-length album, "As Long As The Moment Exists" and its follow-up remix album on behemoth Australian imprint, EQ.

Never one to rest on his proverbial laurels, Chris' productions have seen him take on the mantle of highly regarded modern producer with releases spanning the underground sound including most recently on Bedrock, Selador, Balance, Mooseeka, Tulipa, Maya, Manual, Ground Factory, Maktub, Mindwarp and his own imprint Fade. His remixes and collaborations since 2009 tell their own tale, as Chris remains as integral, relevant and at the leading edge in the Underground as ever. With an innate and immaculate sense of what makes the industry tick, built upon longstanding personal experience, Fortier's musical evolution shows no sign of extinction.
