dj TAKA at AOU

dj TAKA as he is most known is a Japanese musician contributing a lot to KONAMI’s BEMANI series games. You can find most of his songs in Beatmania IIDX games.Did you ever wonder what these people - OutPhase, Iconoclasm, DJ Amuro, TAKA, lion MUSASHI, DJ Setup, 金獅子 and Risk Junk - have in common? I personally did, because I like them all and later I found out that it is actually one composer and that his name is Takayuki Ishikawa (石川貴之) - the real name of our beloved dj TAKA.

In June this year dj TAKA released his first album called Milestone and it was a great success.

Small amount of info on Taka’s life…

Takayuki became obsessed with turntables at the age of 17. But it wasn’t his only love. He was also a passionate drummer. He became well known in Tokyo when his rock group Oblivion Dust became successful. Several years later Taka found out that for him turntables mean much more than drumming and started his DJing carrier. Soon his fame preceded him and what started as a small party for friends became a big club event.
