This is the first of a three part series in which I talk about my experience as a host emcee for the DJ City Japan 10th Anniversary Tour. I've jumped forward in time to treat my 5th episode as a sort of milestone; I've met and worked and partied along side some talented people, especially on this particular tour, so why not speak on it from my unique perspective. Part 1 includes a brief background of what DJ City is, and how I got involved with the DJ City Japan representatives, before getting into the meat and potatoes of the episode. Two venues are spoken about, the first of which is Abemamix @ the Abema TV Studio in Shibuya, which featured a number of notable DJs for the Anniversary celebration. The line-up included former Red Bull 3Style DJ Japan Champions DJ Iku, 8man, Shintaro, Ren, B-Ball, You-Ki, Rina, & Fummy. I of course explain a bit about what the Red Bull 3 Style DJ Championships are, to include Abemamix, which is a popular interactive streaming program on Abema TV in Japan. The 2nd venue is the DJ Bar & Lounge, WREP, where the Kickoff Party was held after Abemamix. It was a long day and night on October 13, 2019, but it was well worth it! Abemamix ran from 1900 - 0000 with each DJ occupying a 35 - 40 min set, followed by the Kickoff Party at WREP, which followed the same dynamic, but was from 0000 - 0500.
