Hey friends,

Last Thursday, right as I was about to kick off my set, my DJ mixer unexpectedly died on me. It just gave up—at the absolute worst time. I did everything I could to push through the night (thank you to the Bar 13 sound guy who had a temporary fix for the night, And thank you Mathew Jester for your patience during the chaos), but the truth is, I can't do what I do without the tools of the trade.

I’ve been DJing and promoting for 22 years—creating spaces where we can come together, let go, and just be. Whether it’s a goth night, a rave, or a packed dance-floor pulsing with energy, I’ve dedicated my life to building moments that uplift people. That’s my purpose. That’s my heart.My Modus Operandi, In Japanese my Iki Gai (Reason for being).

It’s humbling (and honestly really hard) to ask for help like this. But right now, I need your support to replace my broken gear so I can keep doing what I love—and what I hope has brought you joy too.

If I’ve ever made you dance, laugh, smile, feel seen, or just forget the world for a little while—please consider donating or sharing this with someone who might. Even the smallest bit helps.

I never want to stop bringing people together. Music is my Saga soul’s language, and this community means everything to me. Thank you for supporting me, not just now, but always. You have my deepest gratitude and my utmost respect my Nite Bats.

Let’s keep the vibes alive.


I love you all more than these primitive words can ever express.
