1 month to go before Japan
I'll be having 2 gigs in Kansai Music Conference.
GIG 1: Oct 7: PLACE: Osaka, Museum of History, 4th fl.
TIME: Open 12:00 / Start 12:30.
There I'll be mostly performing as a DJ of an artist Neodym. I also have opportunity to perform 2 of my own tracks there. We did a collaboration Edizon - Secret Mission (feat Neodym) earlier this year. It's been getting solid 5 star reviews from club DJ's so that'll be playlisted for sure. I will also trying add in 1 of my own tracks if there is enough time. "It's been decided". I mean it's been scheduled and agreed upon that I can perform one or 2 tracks from my own catalog.
GIG 2: Oct. 8: Music Festival in Kobe Live performances will be held at several venues in Kobe throughout the day. (Celebrating the 100 year anniversary of Kobe Jazz, the city will be active with music fans out and about, and KMC Artists will be part of the entertainment as well.)
My performance will be held in Alchemy Kobe. No idea of clock times at this point. I will update this when I know better. Here is few old pictures from the place.

I bought new controller for the gig
This is actually first gig I've ever done with DJ Gear (I've done like 100 band gigs yes. So there is experience). And first gig I will be performing completely alone. Lol. Funny
thing is that I feel more excited than ever. And it's this good winners excitment. I just feel to be like god and nothing can go wrong. It's just gonna be good.

I will just add here that investments have been coming in lately. I'm playing on radios and papers, magazines and all of it are writing about me. I think it's scaling. I just think. It's really hard to explain everything here. But just to give you a small glimpse of it I just say there have been days I got like 100 contacts in my email in one day. And it's been overwhelming at times. Positive problem I guess.

Some of the Magazines that wrote reviews of my track Rotten Lemons:
Sistra Magazine
Plastic Magazine
Illustrate Magazine
Iggy Magazine
COST OF ALL OF THIS??? $$$
Maybe you interested so I write some of the expenses: Flying tickets to Japan were 1 month early like 1400e. Hotel for 3 days like ~160e. I think I will have to use like 100e for taxi and some for food. It's rather expensive trip. But I see it only positively. I just need to sell more mercendise to make ends meet haha... Controller is about 300e brand new. And some of the magazines took some comission for the review writing...
Life's an adventure and about time I break the ice with gigs outside of the comfort of my own country. Afterall people (my brother Jarkko lol) have been telling that Japan is really untouched and beautiful country with pure culture. They even say it's the best place you could travel this day. I really hope this is what I see there also. I can't wait. I'm also so happy that I feel so healthy and well now. So much graditude over this. It's gonna be perfect! I'm glad that all of the toxicity is out of my life and I surround myself only with positivity and people with good intentions.
Take Care!
