DJ KOGA of DOWNWELL79s (14CATHERINE/ JAZZYSPORT BROOKLYN, JPN)

From New York, Japan, to worldwide, DJ Koga commands much attention as one of the most eclectic music producer / DJ today.

Koga started his DJ career early in his mid-teens at a local club in his native Morioka, Japan. Moved to New York City in 1999. From a ghetto block party in Jersey City to grimy festivities at Filter 14, the techno club hall of fame in the meatpacking district, he covered areas in both sides of the Hudson River. Koga decided to base himself in Brooklyn, and later formed Downwell79's with his soul ally DJ Freedom Chicken.

Philadelphia's heavyweight DJ Rich Medina took him under his wings and gave him a spot to shine at the leading New York underground club APT NYC, where Koga reps the name for JAZZY SPORT BROOKLYN. Koga then became regular DJs at various legendary underground club events in New York. allowing him to gain much deserved respect from music heads all over the world.

Throughout the years, Koga has lent his versatile musical taste and his exquisite mixing skills to world class heavyweights such as Theo Parrish, Carl Craig, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Pete Rock, DJ Spinna, Rich Medina and Ali Shaheed Muhammed. His ever-evolving style transcending House, Jazz, Soul, Techno, Afro Beat, Hip Hop, Reggae and Rock had allowed Koga firmly established himself at the cutting edge of New York and Japan underground.

In 2008, Koga left New York and made his way back to Japan to launch his long-awaited label 14 Catherine, with his own album under way.

--------------------

I was contemplating if I should be posting this mix up in a public domain. It is really rough around the edges but it's my 1st official mix (live recording), at other times I am just the warm up dude for my crew.

The inspiration behind this mix is my lovely wifey-to-be as these are the tracks I would be grooving to with her during our wedding party.

Spread the love!

-Brown Sugar

DJ RAHAAN

The name Rahaan may be unfamiliar to most in Hong Kong, but there is no doubt the man from the Windy City, Chicago is now one of the world’s most in demand and well respected DJ for the true authentic sound of funk, disco and soul music.

Channelling the spirit of Chicago DJ pioneers like Ron Hardy, Farley Jackmaster Funk and the Hot Mix 5, Rahaan has been laying down sets spanning everything from jacking house, deep disco, boogie and funk since the 80`s. From underground basement parties on the southside of Chicago, to playing at big nights in the UK, Europe and Japan, his skill and energy behind the decks has brought him out from the Chicago underground and onto the world stage, gaining him a cult following.

In addition to his own productions, Rahaan is also known for his own edits of dance floor classics which have been released on labels including StilLove4Music, KAT and Jisco Music. A compilation of his best edits to date is due out soon on Spacemachine records.
