DAVE TWOMEY’s first gig was at Lakota in Bristol in 1998 as the paint was literally still drying after a 1 year ‘refurbishment’ of the infamous West country club. In 2002 he won Muzik magazine’s monthly mixing competition Bedroom Bedlam & with new confidence to change direction completely (DJing aside) he moved to Japan. During his 8 year stay he held various residencies or his own parties at Yellow, Air, Womb, Colors Studio & Warehouse702 injecting a well needed dose of the European underground into the commercial Tokyo scene. His 20’s also saw early tours to South America, Europe, South East Asia & more … A keen & prolific event organiser as well as DJ his events have received praise from punters & artists alike over the years and his current focus MARIANA – deep, trippy & liquid techno events inspired by the Mariana Trench & its fearsome creatures – has been picking up momentum in a scene saturated by minimal and tech house. Early Tokyo events saw his MYM stable booking the likes of Falko Brocksieper, Oliver Hacke, Andrea Ferlin, Mark Henning, Reynold & Jeff Milligan, plus more recently for MARIANA & its more earthy techno brother MARIANA DUB SESSIONS the likes of Kassem Mosse, Mike Parker, Cio D’Or, Pendle Coven, Delta Funktionen & MLZ. One of the original Samurai FM shows Dave’s MYM RADIO show has featured the likes of Cobblestone Jazz, Peter Van Hoesen, DJ Nobu, Alex Smoke, Ryan Elliott, Dartrixx (aka Fumiya Tanaka & Radiq) & many many more. The MARIANA DUB SESSIONS podcast continues to spread its tentacles, originally started as an outlet for mixes of a deeper vein as well as Mariana residents and guest DJ sets. Dave is currently living in the UK, enjoying the sounds of the waves at the beach and focusing on Tr nch works & podcasts. Dave’s debut 12-inch under that alias is a collaboration with Okinawan IORI & is due for release in early 2011 on TIME TO EXPRESS. www.mym-tokyo.com
