YUME FEST ANNOUNCEMENTS; DJ DAS JOINS THE LINE UP

DAS decided to move to U.S.A 1991 to pursue the “American Dream.” He started to DJ in 1996 at NYC clubs (N.V. , 2is, Spa, Fun, 205, Cheeta, IzzyBar, Bar16, Gonenika, Room143 etc). This was in joint partnership with Dj Kaori (formally of Hot 97) and DJ Hiro. It was a chance for DAS to spotlight his talent and love of music.
DAS represents the real N.Y. style. DAS has released MixTapes (East II East vol.1,2,3,4) as a DJ. He showed up his MC skills in 2000 in a joint project with Twiggy, a major Japanese hip-hop artist (album “Seven Dimension Remix, Now is past”). Also in 2000, DAS did some co-work with Storm Ryders, a New York based Japanese hip-hop group. They released a 12” single and CD “Bust Ya Guts “ and “Rizing Sun.”
DAS has become well known to many industry people in New York City as the “Hot Japanese artist from Brooklyn.” In 2001 DAS felt it would be best to go solo. After that move, he worked on his 1st CD project and co-founded a hip- hop production HIGHTOPNYC, with New York’s own DJ KLEVER aka NOFACE1. DAS’ first solo album release “Brooklyn” (The life and times of soul revolutionary) on HIGHTOPNYC. This CD was about how DAS has lived for 19 years in the hip-hop mecca (NYC) and his relationship with the hip-hop industry in the USA, from a Japanese point of view.
