JOIA welcomes Kobayashi for a JOIA Rooftop takeover from 6pm – 10pm.
Meet Kobayashi
DJ Kobayashi digs for music around the world, you could say it’s his full-time job! Anything that has a groove and the right melodies make him pick the records for his vast collection.
His style varies from Global Funk to World Beats and Middle-Eastern Grooves. However, he is not foreign to electronic beats, “It starts to get really interesting when you get producers and DJs mixing old sounds with new beats”.
DJ Kobayashi has played alongside some great acts such as YĪN YĪN, TootArd, Islandman, Balkan Beat Box, Baba Zula, and more. He is also a member of Gypsy Hill, a band that combines Balkan Beats and Middle Eastern grooves, and co-founder of Batov Records.
