Since then, Makyo has kept it underground, recording four albums for his own label, Dakini Records, and appearing on about a zillion comps, including labels like Six Degrees, Interchill, Ministry of Sound, and more. Remix work has included Transglobal Underground, Cheb-i-Sabbah, Adham Shaikh, and Omar Faruk Tekbilek.

As a dj, Makyo has a particularly strong following amongst Tokyo's booming bellydance scene for his dancefloor mixes of tribal dub and eastern grooves. Makyo has spun alongside, Steve Hillage/Mirror System, Mixmaster Morris, Karsh Kale, Alex Patterson (The Orb), Haruomi Hosono (YMO), Adham Shaikh, Dj Yakuza, Cheb-i-Sabbah and more.

Greetings Idren and Sistren... Me and Sirbassa have begun hosting a new series of monthly events at the newly renovated Fulford Inn. This past Saturday, myself and Twilight Sound System played to a packed house! I believe this was a first for the Inn, as the staff was pretty surprised. They have doubled the size of floorspace available to dance on, and we will always make sure to bass up the place mon!

The next dates are in the works, and I will post more info soon.

So come mek we chant down babylon every time! ROOTS!
