dj matsuoka naruhisa started his career as a dj in 1987 by playing
jazz, rare groove, soul and hip hop in kobe (the city was
destroyed by the earthquake few years ago). especially he was
influenced by roland clark and thelonius monk.
in 1991, just playing records wasnÆt enough for him, so dj
matsuoka formed a jazz-band called "modern conception". besides
music, matsuoka has many other interests, too. in 1994 he formed
with other artists a group called "counter view", which aim was to
direct the performance of music, art and fashion in clubs, bars
and cafes.
in 1996 influenced by plug and aphex twin, dj matsuoka changed his
style from jazz and hiphop-beats to more or less drum&bass,
without loosing his inner jazzy feelings. during a visit in
germany he also picked up some techno-sounds - but it was only the
sound- aesthetic he was into! with all this ingredients matsuoka
made the first highly praised japanese drum&bass-cd "the
structures of breaks", which includes many new styles and jazzy
tunes mixed with concrete sounds.
dj matsuokaÆs ep "excellent bird" on jazzanova-compost records is
jazzy, funky, cool, musically original and inspired. jcr picked up
four of the best tracks, which matsuoka had recorded for styling
records and inner directs.
