That's My Jam #26: Dj Juri (japan) :taiko Dub November 13, 2010

Ok Brooklyn, get ready for this international superstar dj/producer from Japan to take the stage at the Bell House.

I heard about her music from a friend in Tokyo and somehow she has found her way to BK with a little bit of luck, a little bit of circumstance, and a superhuman amount of talent and hard work. She is a traditionally rooted percussionist, and a DJ.

Haruka Salt 999 will be opening with assistance from DJ Tikka.

See you on the dance floor.

A Japanese female DJ/ producer who creates dance music filled with originality and utilizes "taiko dub", a percussive and tribal sound, as her weapon.
