New Events... 15/7 and 16/7

Its a big weekend for The Breakdown crew. This Saturday (15th) we will be providing the tunes for Underbar's 3rd anniversary party. As usual, the event starts at around 9.30pm, and the first 20 people will get free new mix CD's from myself and Kult Klassic. It promises to be a busy evening, so get there early! (Underbar is on Fuyacho, about half way between Oike and Nijo streets. Scroll down to find a map).

In April this year a new record shop called Japonica opened in Kawaramachi and Sunday night sees us playing at its opening party. Karl will be putting on an exhibition of his work and, rumour has it, be doing a live painting. Of course, Klassic and I will be spinning funk, soul and hip hop all night. The event starts early, at 5pm. For more information visit http://www.japonica-music.com/.

See you there!
