A one-time producer of music for Sesame Street, deep-house DJ Osunlade touches down in Nishi-Azabu to cap his swing through the Asia-Pacific region. The multi-instrumentalist had a long career in LA working with the likes of Patti Labelle and Salif Keita before removing himself from the mainstream music biz to become a house producer and DJ. His latest, Rebirth, is a typically organic work of soulful grooves and plenty of live vocals, drums, bass and FX courtesy of Osunlade himself.
