marbo / Tokyo Balearic

The Tokyo Balearic Podcast is now available from Apple iTune Store.
DJ Marbo started Tokyo Balearic on Shibuya FM in October 2006 and now you can enjoy over 2 years of episodes.

This year we have started a new collboration entitled 'J Balearic' with other Balearic DJs around Japan.
This is the first and original global dance movement to come out of Japan.

Osaka Balearic played by DJ Toshi Nishimura,
Yamagata Balearic played by DJ Atsushi Honma,
Sendai Balearic played by DJ Kengo Kato,

These are the three finest DJs in Japan able to heal your body and mind. Our music is crafted from and inspired by the beautiful sea, mountains and other nature in Japan.
We hope you enjoy the new Japanese Balearic sound, night and day.

Living in our urban jungle information flashes past us through the internet, mobile phones and TV faster than the speed of thought. We are plugged in and logged in beyond the point of information saturation and overload. Everyday in the digital fog the real and important information is lost. As the knowledge from our experiences is diluted by chemical agents and electromagnetic waves we find ourselves exposed to 24H junk food, cheap liquor, mindless music and desensitized people. The society we live in is the most unnatural in the history of mankind and as the human desire to consume and control grows we will ultimately destroy our world.

Humans are animals that have evolved in a natural habitat for many thousands of years and our physiology requires that we have sunshine, fresh air, organic food, music and rhythm. The innovators and pioneering music makers such as YMO, Giorgio Moroder, Larry Levan (R.I.P.) and Ron Hardy (R.I.P.) led us out of the darkness in the past and now we need to head into a brighter future. Whether we are in Tokyo, Beijing, Pyongyang, Paris, Baghdad, Kabul, Berlin, Barcelona, London or New York the world must find a common language.

Those in Tokyo being at the forefront of the technology devolution have created the new language of 120BPM Trance. Typically psychedelic or rave style Trance surges forward at 140+ BPM crushing all in its path and lashing people who demand an escape from reality with noise. It creates dissenters and turns people off but within its details lies a secret and infinite possibilities are unlocked by lowering the BPM and reclaiming the funk, tuning it to a natural human tempo. By learning from our past our DJ crew is rewriting our common language creating a new brighter future with a sound like no other. The Sound.

Technology is put under our control and pushed to its extremes to accommodate our new vision. Our turntables are customized with the pitch control dropping the tempo by -13.5%. Dampers are added to stabilize the turntables and the stylus, with a needle pressure of 1g draws a deeper and cleaner bass out from the vinyl.. The decks are wired through a first edition UREI 1620 mixer and into a tuned soundsystem consisting of four of ATCs 1992 flagship SCM100ASL mid-high range active speakers and four Funktion One 18” bass bin towers. No isolators are used and all music is played from one track per side mastered 12” vinyl.

The DJ is positioned in the middle of the sound of the four speaker tower so monitor speakers are used. The sound the DJ hears is that which is heard on the dancefloor building the unity between the DJ and the audience. The DJ also overlays the sound from a Schumann Wave Generator, amplifying the resonant frequency of the Earth and its atmosphere, purifying negative energies and correcting electromagnetic disharmony.

While one floor moves to the sound of the future 120 BPM contemporary Balearic Trance, the other is educational and highlights the history of Balearic classics. The whole experience is complimented by organic ‘Rakuichi Rakuza’ booths serving quality refreshments. ‘Ayanas’ creates a more natural atmosphere by creating a green and lush background of healing plants and flowers. ‘Karava’ delights your senses while ‘Sala Shanti’ massages your body and soul.

A world renowned sound system. A Schumann Wave Generator. The dancfloor pulses. Past meets future. One world under one groove. Tokyo Balearic. The healing revolution starts here.

Forget about existing concept of clubs
Balearic sounds which one feels the ocean and mountains

With the informatization of the world through the internet and mobile phones right now, we live in a world with the prerogetive of urban cities being watered down and our environment going down the drain.The inside condition (your body) has been contaminated with chemical agents and electromagnetic waves, the outside is polluted with emission from cars and factories. Very chemical, industrial products take the leading role in what you eat and drink and one can get it 24 hours a day.
We live in an environment which is the most unnatural in the history of mankind. In this unnatural era, it is not surprising that organic things get alot of attention. The urban sound is not like what it used to be and has lost its shine, the people are wanting a balearic sound of healing and the great outdoors where they feel the sea and mountains.

If YMO and Giorgio Moroder right now, produced cutting edge dance/rock music which leads into the future. If you could imagine what Larry Levan (R.I.P.), Ron Hardy (R.I.P.), would be spinning cutting edge dance/rock music right now. All over the world, in Ibiza, Berlin, London, New York, what is the sound at the moment which is the common language of dance/rock music now.
The answer is here. The key, is the most youthful, newsworthy trance, in dance/rock music right now. Trance's sound harmonics' prerogative is quite superior but its common BPM of 140 is ill-suited for dancing and listening for long hours. By lowering the BPM of trance to 120 and the sound is transformed into a more fat and funky sound. And the sound system to express this, also is quite special. For the turntables, the turntable used is customized with a more superior sound than the Technics SL1200 and also has a pitch control of 13.5% +/- and is administered with special vibration reduction countermeasures.
The sound system of use for mid high range will be the UK company, ATC's flagship SCM100 ASL build when they were founded and for the low range, we will build a tower with a 2 x 18 inch unit and use 4 units. We are making it possible, a sound reproduction of a extra deep bass, similiar to a proper reggae sound system as well as professional use studio quality, clear mid and high range sound reproduction. From what we know, this sort of dense, rich and raw sound, does not exist. If you know better, let us know. hahahaha.

And for the dj booth, it will be positioned so that we will be wrapped inside the sound of the 4 speaker tower. This can only be possible with the superior vibration reduction countermeasure. Normally, the dj booth is positioned at the dead space where sound is disengaged with the sound space. This is because the possibility of acoustic feedback is least likely to occur. But, the sound that the DJ hears and what is heard on the dancefloor, ultimately defers so the DJ is not able to control the sound. If you pretend that the DJ is a pilot of a plane, fundamentally, the cockpit is upfront where you can see everything but it is like having it in the back. If it is like this, the pilot would not be able to steer the plane. For this party, the DJ and dancefloor sound will be set the same. It is to feel the sense of unity between the DJ and the dancefloor audience. There is no too much output of sound, no lack of output of sound or bad imbalance as well. If, the sound is bad, it is the total responsiblity of the DJ.

Also, there will be no use of equalizer or compressers which makes the sound worsen. We will only play handpicked, 12 Inch analogue records whose sound harmonics and mastering is truly magnificent. The feeling of excitement, glitter, the sweet, longing, scent of the tracks will be richly smelt. And for this party, the Shuman Wave Generator which is based on the homeopathic theory, will be put into action. The earth and its atmosphere's resonance frequency is known as Shuman Resonance and that is what makes us in a relaxed condition or it is the same as the condition in which we heighten our powers of concentration. This catches the electromagnetic wave information of the surroundings and resonates Nature's Shuman wave, there is also a function of amplification and it is quite revolutionary indeed.
Also, it has the functional capability of purifying the negative energies of the surroundings.

For this party, there will be a market called "Rakuichirakizu (market of fun and entertainment)", with organic related stall, vintage records shops, aroma massage, etc. Right now, we are welcoming any interesting parties.
