After honing his skills in the badly lit basements and velcro floored clubs of Edinburgh, Akira Kiteshi AKA Tommy Forrest has pulled off a meteoric ascension of nose bleeding proportions. With his debut release, Pinball smashing is way out of the Hip Hop scene crashing through the walls of Dubstep and high-jacking the decks at many an electro night. Now recognised as a leader of the new tear out movement & supported by a roll call that includes names like Mixmaster Mike, N-Type & Mary Anne Hobbs every new Akira creation is anticipated across the electronic music gamut.
Far from the shy screen tanned studio hermit Tommy has also firmly established his skills on the wheels. With shows through out the US and Europe there are very few pin free countries on the map hanging in the Akira Kiteshi lab.

Long ago was known a beast whose stench was so ravenous and foul that many lives were lost in its wake. The bodies piled up everywhere, some were disigured from the rupturing of their nasal cavities. Vomit coated the ground for many kilometers. Later, the beast was found, killed, and ground to the consistancy of a fine cream, yet it smelled so horrible there were massive group suicides because there was nothing to alleviate the pain caused by the rotted stench. The creatures of the sea saw that this was an opportunity to feast and left their watery homes to excrete their digestive organs and devour the remains of the dead.
