He is one of the few people who introduced GOA trance in the early 90s to Japan. With an in-depth knowledge of synthesizer programming that began with his first noise band he originally concentrated his efforts on making new and original sounds more than Dj-ing. Soon after discovering the facinating sound of trance he created T.T.T (Tokyo Techno Tribe) . Together they played live at early Equinox parties (origninators of Japan trance parties) but have since gone off on their own individual journeys. Now they both enjoy great notoriety as the original driving force behind the massive Japan dance scene. Early in his career he played with famous Dj Hamase as X-Tron and has since collaborated worldwide with famous artists like Xavier, Ray Castle, Mike Maguire, and Tsuyosh's band Joujouka. Recently Masa is recognized as a Dj more than a live sound creator. His music is very intense and original which drives the crowd into a truly higher state of enjoyable consciousness. He has been organizing his own Space Gathering parties since 1997. These parties combining both musical and visual sensations are very impressive and attract a family like gathering of friends and fans who truly enjoy the beautiful sound and visual sensations of positive energy. Being highly professional yet friendly and personable Masa is down to earth and enjoys a unique happy life with his wife and musical partner Ree.K. Creating together in their band Kinocosmo they bring to the stage a fusion of rock and electronica never seen before. The future for Masa beholds and endless array of new sounds and experiences that is sure to enlighten. About Hypnodisk: Masa has this Old Skool vibe to him yet he is constantly turning up with the sounds of tomorrow, yesterday. Being a member of Kincosmo while Djing, he also manages along with Ree-k his own n ew label Hypnodisk. Masa's style is eclectic and powerful. Hopefully the tracks he will release on this label will follow the excellence of previous releases such as Kincosmo's Liquid Machine. Masa is a respected DJ and engineer who has released music on other labels until now with high acclaim. London's opinion making Muzik Magazine recognized Masa's beats as "a remarkable alliance of driving beats, renegade snares and strange hypno.." It is about time he saved his own amazing sounds for his own label.
