^DJ MaNA

Mana was born in Tokyo. He moved to Ireland at the age of 17. He started DJ while attending high school and gained his first experience of DJing at an underground Hip Hop party. During his high school days he loved skateboarding and spent much time shuttling between Ireland and Japan.

Mana gave himself up to music! After he had returned home, he thought it was a natural thing to continue to DJ and performed at Shibuya Cave, Harlem, Asia, Womb, Loop etc... And, he kept digging, acquiring a large amount of records found both at home in Japan as a staff member at CISCO HOUSE PT 1 and ordered from all over the world mixing genres from; Deep House, Detroit, Chicago, Techno, Jazz, and Disco, etc....As well as his work at Cisco he also went every day after work to work as a sound engineer at Milk in Ebisu which all added to his experience as a DJ and music man.

Later he heard main man Nick the Record play at the underground party Life Force and was greatly impressed by his music and style. Soon he also participated at LifeForce parties, and he went to Himaraya Air Trek. His Mixing style combines grooves with a degree of freedom that allows him to cross a wide range of genres.

Here’s some of the places Mana has played at:

Sputnik Low (Aoyama), Loop (Shibuya), Cave (Shibuya), Module (Shibuya), Harlem (Shibuya), Asia (Shibuya), Womb (Shibuya), Air (Shibuya), Hachi (Aoyama), Core (Roppongi), Colurs Studio (Roppongi), Seco (Shibuya), Ball (Shibuya), Akarenga Souko (Yokohama), Bullet's (Roppongi), Roots N (Ropponngi), ROOM Heaven&Earth (Shimokitazawa), Basement Bar (Shimokitazawa), Orbit (Sangenchaya), Guru Guru (Sangenchaya), Mescalito (Shibuya)
