Shinichi Osawa

Shinichi Osawa made his debut as the leader and bassist for MONDO GROSSO, a band formed in Kyoto in 1991. After finishing off the tour following the release of the second album “Born Free,” the band was disbanded in 1995. Thereafter, MONDO GROSSO has become a collaborative unit featuring Shinichi and various vocalists and musicians that he chooses to team up with.

In 1997, he released the third album “Closer.” Around the same time, he began his career as a hit-making producer and produced hits such as “Rhythm” by UA and “YOU MAKE ME” by Monday Michiru, to name a few.

In 1999, he created his own label “REALEYES” inside Sony Music Japan. During the same year, bird, fully produced by Shinichi Osawa as the very first artist from his label, had a massive hit selling well over a million copies. As of the year 2000, he resumed activities as “MONDO GROSS,” now his own unit. Then came the release of a highly-acclaimed masterwork album “MG4,” which includes the smash hit “LIFE.” This album was also released from Sony Music in a total of 25 countries worldwide including the United States, the United Kingdom and France.

In 2002, Shinichi provided a track, as the one and only contributor from Japan, for the official 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP album “FEVER PITCH” which was sold in over 30 countries worldwide.

In 2003, his fifth album “NEXT WAVE” was released. With a sales record of over 150,000 copies, which is extraordinary for a club music album, Shinichi has truly triggered the “next wave” to Japan’s music scene.

Shinichi has collaborated with various international artists – in 2004, he produced “SAMURAI THEME” (later recorded in Fatboy Slim’s latest MIX CD “Fala ai!”) from Bob Sinclar’s Yellow Production compilation series “Africanism 3.” Shinichi works closely with KITSUNE – editing works of Christopher & Raphael Just/“Poper” and Boyz Noize/“Feel Good (TV=OFF)” from KITSUNE label became a worldwide club hit.

His most recent album “The One” was released in September 2007 in Japan through avex and finally saw a release in UK through Southern Fried Records in January 2009 followed by a single “Push” in February 2009. The same album was released in US by Dim Mak in March,

His recent remixes include Felix da Housecat’s “Radio”, Alex Gopher’s “Aurora”, Cazal’s “Poor Innocent Boy”, VanShe’s “Kelly” and The Whip’s “Blackout”.


NIMA TAHMASEBI NT89


NT89 è uno dei nuovi talenti italiani che si stanno ritagliando un solido posto al sole nella scena dance underground internazionale. Ore di lavoro certosino sulla ricerca dei suoni ed un talento innato per il groove hanno trasformato un giovanissimo topo da studio manipolatore di plugins in un DJ e produttore dance di primo livello che può vantare tra i suoi più fidati estimatori: Tiga, Erol Alkan, Zombie Nation, The Bloody Beetroots, Congorock e Shinichi Osawa. La passione per la manipolazione dei suoni ha spinto NT89 a creare una miriade di edit versions di brani famosi come: "The Worm" di ZZT,"Worth It" di Zombie Nation e "Mind Dimension" di Tiga, proprio il famoso guru canadese ha deciso di inserire "Mind Dimension" remix nell'edizione giapponese del suo ultimo album "Ciao Tiga" su etichetta Pias/Sony Music. Il 2009 è stato un anno ricco di novità a partire dalla collaborazione in studio come assistente di The Bloody Beethroots per la realizzazione della compilation "Smash your Stereo" (OneLove / Sony Australia), passando per la l'invito a partecipare al progetto "Italo School" di Sony BGM al fianco di Crookers e Blatta & Inesha, per arrivare alla release del remix ufficiale di Noob & Brodinski "Peanuts Club" uscito su Turbo Records. In ottobre 2009 ha firmato all'etichetta inglese Southern Fried (quella di FatBoySlim!) vera e propria scouting di talenti che annovera nel proprio roster anche Crookers e Shinichi Osawa, per la quale NT89 realizzerà l'Ep "Poopa & Dooma" giù supportato tra molti da A-Trak, Djedjotronic, Mikix the Cat. Dal vivo NT89 esprime ai massimi livelli tutta la sua energia regalando set eclettici in cui le influenze old school techno si incontrano con funk, disco ed electro. Chi ha già avuto modo di apprezzare quest'artista dal vivo al fianco di Tiga, Shinichi Osawa e Congorock o in uno dei suoi live set "solo" ha già capito che NT89 è uno dei talenti made in Italy da non perdere di vista.
