FEATURING:

Makyo
www.dakinirecords.com | Tokyo-Japan
Makyo has been based in Tokyo and creating zen dub and Asian ambient since 1994, alongside the first wave of ethno-club producers like Banco de Gaia and Loop Guru. 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. Makyo's latest tracks can be heard on Tribal Matrix, a Dakini Records compilation featuring tracks inspired by many of the dancers who appear at Tribal Fusion Night.

Jef Stott & Drum Spyder

Jef Stott has been deftly navigating the realms of the global remix as a producer, composer and performer for over a decade. His debut solo release SoukSonik from Six Degrees Records will be released world wide in January 2007. The first single from this release went to #5 in the UK World Music Charts. SoukSonik is a collection of tracks bridging the divide between the music of the Middle East and club culture. A soulful spirited collaboration where the ancient and modern can converse.

His live performances featuring Tribal Belly Dance troupes, fire performers and futuristic mixed media are feast for the senses, brining drama and intrigue to the stage.

His work has been released on several record labels including Universal, EMI, Six Degrees, Hearts of Space, Triloka and City of Tribes. He has performed at festivals and concerts in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Istanbul, Edinburgh, London, and Mexico.
