Then, her original track picked for compilation EP Newsdays from Sud electronic in July 2004 and her first solo EP dimension released from Sud electronic in October 2004 so that she got evaluated by top class DJs in the world. In November 2005, her track came from contexterrior, and also Richie Hawtin selected her track in his DE9 Transitions.
Her sounds twist and turned and surprised you at every listen, they had the strangest way of creeping up on you, then finally enveloping you into akiko’s world.

Fumiya Tanaka_dj set
Fumiya Tanaka has been regarded as one of the legendary DJ artists in Techno over 15 years. He has been doing numerous projects such as his private label Torema Records, his recent label “op.disc” (co-running with Yoshihiro Hanna), and his famous party Chaos (in Tokyo and Osaka), and through his long running career, he has been successfully expressing the possibilities of music. His unique style is focused on “minimal” techno, but through his play, he pulls out the beauty, the depth and the thickness of music and turns “minimal” into “maximum”. This is one of the reasons why he is still at the top.
In 2007, Fumiya released an epoch-making DVD “via”, which contains his live DJ MIX with a real time audio commentary. This release vividly shows his music/play as the result of physical reactions and continuous thinking. As his other recent works, he has been working on his live unit, “DARTRIIX” with RADIQ aka Yoshihiro HANNO and has already released two EPs and a full length album on op.disc.
Now he is planning to start a new label called “Sundance” and it is scheduled to be launched very soon.
