^DJ EMOKEN

長野県出身。生まれた時から音楽と伴に育ち、学生時代にロックバンドを経験。客前で表現する時の魅力・快感の虜になり、「良い音楽にジャンルは関係ない！」と覚醒。上京後2001年からは,UkAcidTechno、 MinimalTechno、Chicago House、Jazz等に影響を受け、DJ活動を開始。様々なclub、団体、party等で経験を積む。 2002年からは、「SOKEN BALANCE」@ageHa にメインDJとしてレジデントに出演。また、ageHa 2ndアニバーサルpartyに参加、若き次世代アーティストと共にメインフロアのLAURENT GARNIERを超える盛り上がりを見せ、狂喜乱舞な足跡を残す。 その後、青山ManiacLove、六本木Yellowなどの主要クラブにてゲスト出演を果たす。 ジャンルを超越する独自のスタイルを形成、現在も常に追求を止まない。

近年はトラック制作やイベントオーガナイズも開始、「BACK★HOME」--中野heavy sick ZERO 、「夜ナ夜ナ」@ROPPONGI INDIGO、「ROCK THE RHYTHM」@WEDE/BASEMENT BAR simokitazawa 等を主催後、現在「UNLIMITED」@SHIBUYA ROCK WEST　を主催。



.. EMOKEN was born in Nagano Prefecture where he grew up being influenced by various kinds of music in his youth. He started a Rock Band when he was a student. Enamored by performing in front of a live audience, he moved to Tokyo in search of larger crowds. This pursuit also broadened his horizons musically where he made his transformation to DJ in 2001. His present style has been influenced by UkAcid-Techno, Minimal-Techno, Chicago-House and Jazz. After playing a number of night clubs and rave parties, he joined "SOKEN BALANCE" at Ageha, becoming a fixture as a resident DJ in 2002. Highlighted by a performance at Ageha's 2nd Anniversary party with LAURENT GARNIER, EMOKEN emerged as one of the next young generation. With guest appearances at clubbing institutions Maniac Love and Yellow, EMOKEN has been on a relentless quest for originality and versatility, gettin busy givin soul to the city.
