The People In The Fog is a moniker of DJ Sodeyama. He has been a stalwart of the Tokyo underground for nearly three decades, cutting his teeth in the 90's and retaining a key presence at the forefront of Japan's house music scene.

Over the years he has released a sprawling array of music under a few monikers on the likes of Zenit, Rekids, Quartz and трип. However most recently he has been operating under the guise of The People In The Fog which has afforded him the chance to dig deeper into his sound channeling elements of funk, downtempo and the dubbier undertones of house.

He has released this material on Japanese record label Sound Of Vast and for dj's in the know those records have become a 'buy on sight' scenario.

This mix showcases versatility and class. Tight blends, excellent, deep thoughtful selections.

With love until the grave.

I would say I’m from the school of house, with an introduction to clubbing in Glasgow from around 1997 at nights like Pressure at the Arches, Relief at Alaska and the famed Harri &amp; Domenic regulars at the Sub Club. 

Labels like Paper Recordings, Glasgow Underground and Soma Records really moulded my love of house/techno and almost 25 years Djing, I feel that often that sound still remains in a lot of my sets, even if disguised as disco or something a little more leftfield. With a love of synth, well produced percussion and anything that can lock you in a groove I’m not too fussy about genre.

Spending many years in Aberdeen led to me taking residency along with Chris Knox at the regular Metropolis nights, which in addition to the regular residents nights saw me warm the house for guests such as Dave Clarke, Surgeon, FC Kahuna, Justin Robertson, Felix Da Housecat, Miss Kitten, Billy Nasty and Claude Young. Working though many bar residencies has also provided a platform for more experimental sets, with a more downtempo sound.

Currently producing dreamy, hypnotic, blissed out electronic music under my Theta Waves moniker.

I'm currently one of the residents of the subSine | Sessions, and present the monthly subSine | Sessions show on Glasgow's own Buena Vida Radio. 

I like to keep things moving and I’m a fan of contrast, believing that every set should tell a story, not necessarily have beginning, middle and end but be the type of story that you would want to read again.
