2016

When it comes to Japanese DJs it’s become increasingly clear right now that DJ Nobu is a fans’ favourite. Make your way further into Tokyo’s neon lit DJ circuit and of course there are many more selectors to be found, however few come with the Nobu stamp of approval. Haruka, though, does. A decade ago the former lumberjack supported Nobu when he made the 500km journey from Tokyo to Haruka’s home town of Tsuruoka. Three years later his aspirations to become a DJ full time took over and Tokyo in turn became Haruka’s permanent home, with the fledging selector working his way into the local scene to give the Future Terror party he now co-manages with Nobu that extra seal of quality.

With DJ Sprinkles alerting Western attentions to Japan’s fuzoku laws, which can restrict people from dancing in nightclubs, via her 2013 mix for Mule Musiq Where Dancefloors Stand Still, the idea of clubbing in Japan, for those who have never been, is still a little hard to fully comprehend. To help paint a clearer picture of Tokyo’s night life in 2016, Haruka has turned in a mix of “favourites” to present “a straighter techno set” that he says represents a sound you’ll hear him working today. Furthermore, with Haruka at the centre of Japanese techno, we felt inclined to send the rising DJ some questions to try and learn more about current Japanese club culture, particularly in Tokyo.

He did explain to us that even though the “number of young people in Japan is decreasing rapidly,” the knock on effect inside Japanese clubs isn’t detrimental enough to be considered doom and gloom. And in the words below expect to come across other local artists and DJs worth keeping an eye out for, like DJ Kuri, DJ Shhhh and Yazi, to Phonica-related artist Iori whom Haruka has hooked up with for a new party in the infamous Shibuya district, aka Town of Young People, called Ocean. bit.ly/1TQef7Z

DJ Nobu has long been Japan's best kept secret, but lately it feels like the cat is well out of the bag as his global touring schedule fills up for 2016. Nobu has been producing the legendary Future Terror parties in Japan since 2001 and launched his Bitta label in 2012. More than anything though, he is known for his completely unpredictable yet always mind-melting DJ sets. We were totally floored by both his prime-time set at The Bunker in Tokyo and his opening set at The Bunker in Osaka in September, 2015. He will be playing the closing set of The Bunker NY takeover of Berghain in February, making his North American debut at The Bunker in Brooklyn in March, in addition to playing alongside The Bunker resident Eric Cloutier at Smart Bar in Chicago. Few DJs demonstrate the depth of vision that seems to come naturally to Nobu.
