Leading drum & bass dynamo DJ AKi from Tokyo, Japan, laid down an energetic set to showcase the SVM-1000 mixer during one of his 06S parties at world-renowned club Womb.

This clip captures a slice of that night – utilising split screens so you can see exactly what Womb’s chief breakbeat resident is up to – check it out! DJ AKi is not only kingpin of 06S club nights but also head of 06S Records, and key selector to the innovative ES9 and DubLab Production collectives.

 A spearhead of the Japanese d&b scene, he first started the popular 06S parties at Womb back in 2001, after returning from his Science Lab residency at New York’s famous Twilo. He has since continued to develop the event, as well as performing all around the world from Movement and The End in London, to Skol Beats and tours of Brazil.

If you enjoyed this footage, there’s also a new AKi interview and demonstration of how to use the SVM now showing over on YouTube (Japanese only). Words: LRC
