It’s been a very long time since my last visit to AND.

All I can say is wow, I can’t really remember the last time I was on AND. I’ve been so busy in recent months with work, DJing, graphic design, and mostly researching and writing a book about jazz musician Miles Davis, that I haven’t had enough time to really relax or stop and smell the roses.

So the date now is Saturday, December 18 and the time is about 3:16 AM in the morning. Don’t ask me what am I doing up so late, I don’t even know myself. But at about 2:30 AM I was on Facebook and bumped into another fellow friend in Tokyo name Mio Shiraishi who is also a user of AND and a super big AND fanatic. We talked for a bit about this website and about this upcoming Saturday night. Mio seems to be a popular dancer/pole dancer here in Japan, tomorrow she will have a dance performance at a popular club in Aoyama, Tokyo called “Velours”. I really wish I could attend to see her dance show but unfortunately at the same time I have to attend a Christmas dinner party in the nearby city of Shinjuku.

It would be very nice if after her show and after my dinner party if we could catch up, talk a little bit, and maybe head out to a good after-hours party for a little while. Things may not turnout that way but it sure would be nice if they did. Mio is a very attractive young lady, she has a really great respectable job, and what appears to be a very positive and fun personality so naturally I hope I can meet with her.

Well that’s it from me. It’s from speaking with her that I thought of all you guys here at AND and I decided to drop by. I will try to make a habit of posting a little more often from now on. Later people, and good night Hong Kong and Tokyo!

DJ Antomattei of Tokyo (born Marc Tolin Antomattei on January 4, 1983 in El Paso, Texas) is a professional disc jockey that is both a musical connoisseur and an autodidact; He is known for playing many eclectic styles of music including house, hip hop, soul, acid-jazz, disco, lounge, bossa nova, and salsa among other styles. Antomattei got his start as a DJ while residing in Tokyo, Japan. Antomattei credits DJs Tony Humphries, Masters At Work and Dimitri From Paris as his inspirations. The artist name "Antomattei of Tokyo" is an open homage to DJ Dimitri From Paris.

Music runs deep in DJ Antomattei's family roots, especially in Latin music. Marc Antomattei is the nephew of Agustin "Augie" Antomattei, an exceptional salsa trumpeter who has performed with greats such as Eddie Palmieri, Bobby Valentin, Cano Extremera, Jose Alberto, Pellin Rodrguez, and the Puerto Rico All Stars (a legendary salsa jazz band that was the Puerto Rico alternative to the acclaimed New York based Fania All Stars). He is also a nephew of Victor "Cano" Gonzalez, another salsa trumpter who has been performing with the world famous El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico since 1980. His grandfather's brother Candido Antomattei, was one of two main vocalist in Arsenio Rodrguez's conjunto, a band that was part of the roots in the establishment of latin music genres such as mambo and salsa. Lastly he has another uncle, Agustin Caraballoso who has also performed in Arsenio's conjunto.

In 2006 DJ Antomattei befriended Mark Dwayne, a singer and magazine owner from Birmingham, England. The West Midlands based magazine “Street Cred”, is the UK’s number 1 entertainment and lifestyle magazine in which Antomattei is an occasional contributing writer for. In July 2008, Dwayne gave Antomattei the news that he was booked in the UK’s second city of Birmingham to play an event on Boxing Day December 26, 2008. The Street Cred sponsored event “Funkaliscious” at club Barracuda (now held at club Oh Velvet) is the West Midlands biggest monthly residency party. After appearing on the Street Cred Live radio show on Aston 89.1 FM, and doing a successful Funkaliscious event; Antomattei was finally asked in early January 2009 to become a full time staff member, writer, and designer for the Street Cred label.

In Japan Antomattei has played at venues all across the Greater Tokyo Area including Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, Akasaka, Yokohama, Chiba and the Shonan beach area. Recently in the later half of 2009 Antomattei has branched out to the western part of Japan's mainland of Honshu, where he will play gigs in the cities of Nagoya and Osaka furthering the reach of his already well-known name.

Aside from DJing Marc Antomattei is also a promoter, model, fashionista, graphic designer, and writer.
