Japanese DJ 2BOY recently released his first mixtape entitled Good Morning Mr. Insomnia. In all honesty, until he got in touch with me, I was unaware that DJs produced their own mixtapes nor did I have any idea as to what exactly a DJ mixtape was. I discovered that, just as rap mixtapes showcase the skills of the rapper, DJ mixtapes showcase the mixing skills of the DJ.
Hailing from Tokyo, 2BOY (real name Taichiro Tsuboi) sets himself apart by never adhering to one specific genre. Good Morning Mr. Insomnia sees him mixing a wide variety of styles, from classical to rap. It's a constant flow of energy and embodies the line on his MySpace "RPM never dies, BPM never stops."
On July 18th, 2BOY will be performing a 6 hour non-stop (!) set at Tokyo's EVER AOYAMA.
