Hot festival tickets
As special guest at
Kiddstock, it seems Yoji has a major part to play in this year’s
instalment of Hard Dance’s only dedicated festival:
“Having Yoji headlining the bill is a huge honour for me as we have worked together on projects, albums and tours in the past and have been friends for many years. He is a living enigma of the harder scene and the way he re-directs his musical styles so effortlessly is an inspiration to me. He is always way ahead of the pack and his latest studio work is out of this world so I know his set is going to smash the Ground Zero arena to smithereens!” – Alex Kidd

When asked, the man himself had kind words a plenty:
“I
think because Alex understands well how my music has been evolved and
directed, he requested me to play at Kiddstock festival this year as a
headliner. The lineup is very interesting so I’m sure the event will be
a great gig. Much appreciated!”
Hellhouse
Recordings released its first track of 2008 back in February, Techy
Techy. The track promised to illustrate a definitive example of your
sound. Yoji, how do feel the track has been received?
“I
feel very happy about the response. The response to the tracks released
before Techy Techy was mostly from the people of a very limited genre,
but as for Techy Techy, I could receive the response from various
people beyond the barrier of genre. I think the release was very
meaningful.”
Hellhouse has developed
quite a name for itself over the past five years or so. With releases
from numerous artists such as Remocon and IK as well as acting as a
stage from which to launch his own productions.
Yoji, how do you feel the label is developing and what plans do you have for its future?
“Thank
to you all, Hellhouse has become a very famous label.Compared with
other labels, Hellhouse has only released a few, but each release
aroused some criticism. That's why Hellhouse became famous, hahaha!I
have insisted we release only the tracks with freshness and high
quality, and for the future. I will keep the faith.Now I am under
production of several new tracks. I want to release them as soon as
possible.”
After the name Yoji
Biomehanika becoming so famous throughout the dance music industry, the
decision was made back earlier this year to drop the surname. Yoji’s
myspace blog claims that after unsuspectingly going to sleep one night
in January, Yoji then woke the following morning to discover his
surname had indeed vanished!
Following rumours of the name being stolen, kidnapped and just being too damn difficult to pronounce, we decided to ask the man himself, to which he answered simply:
“Because I used it too much, I washed and hanged "Biomehanika" in the sun!”
