Tokyo Community Radio Presents Monthly Program: September w/ Ben Gomori, AMANE, DNG

London-based DJ, producer, label owner and promoter Ben Gomori has a long and varied career in dance music, stretching from illegal raves in fields in his birthplace Cambridge through residencies at some of London’s most legendary clubs to some of the biggest venues and festivals in the world. He plays an eclectic, inimitable mix of house, disco, electro, afro, acid, garage, tirelessly digging for lesser known gems from the past through his RecordReplay bargain bin vinyl radio show (Balamii, Soho Radio) and seamlessly fitting them alongside the sounds of today, sprinkled with his own acclaimed edits and productions and a high-energy mixing style.

Owner of the highly-rated Monologues Records and G-Edits labels, he also curated and produced edits for hugely popular African music reworks label Sterns Edits. He also runs Pitchblack Playback, a series of album and DJ mixtape listening sessions in the dark, of which Rick Rubin said “this sounds great” and Jamiroquai’s Jay Kay said was “a fabulous idea”. Currently a resident for Pleasurehood, XOYO’s flagship Saturday night event, he’ll be touring Japan in September 2023 plus Ibiza and some of the UK’s biggest festivals.
