NXTO' #1
DJ TAKU HIRAYAMA (Nex / HxGxT / Black Montblanc / NXTO')
90年代後半のClub Musicとの出会いに衝撃を受け、2000年頃より地元福岡のクラブ "Kieth Flack" を中心にDJ活動を開始。連日連夜のパーティーを通して雑食性を高め、次第にエレクトロニックなダンスミュージックに傾倒。2006年の秋に拠点を香港に移し、場所や規模を問わず街中のパーティーで4年間プレイ。あらゆる人種が混在する大都市から受けたインスピレーションと、これまでに蓄積して来た新旧ジャンルを問わない良質な音楽をダンスミュージックを通してアウトプット。2008年以降は香港と日本の間で様々なDJやパーティーのブッキングやコーディネートも手掛けプロモーターとしても活動。2010年秋に福岡に帰国し、現在は"Nex @ Kieth Flack" "Black Montblanc @ Club Base" "HxGxT @ Air (不定期)" などを中心に福岡親不孝通りに根を張りながら、年に数回香港でもプレイし続け活動中。そして今年2012年5月より自身のパーティー "NXTO'"を開始する。
