And the July warm-up DJ competition winner is…

Last Japan

Last Japan – Sounds of the Summer (MediaFire)

It’s a fact that to succeed as a DJ there days, you need to produce your own tunes to stand out from from the pack. Almost as important is a t-shirt with your own name on in massive print (nobody makes any money from selling music these days so think ‘merchandising’ and ‘potential Mixmag fashion shoot’ right from the start).

Last Japan ticks both these boxes. Plus he has a pair a pastel coloured pistols pointing straight at our heads.

All this wouldn’t matter if his mix was rubbish of course. But as it covers pretty much everything big, loud and dancefloor that’s currently rocking our stereo, we reckon he’s a future star in the making… Catch him on July 31st.

You can also download a couple of his heavy remixes over at We Are Not A Rock Band including one of the as yet unreleased banger ‘Eurostar’ by Brodinski and Mumdance.
