ABL:Radio - Side Effects - Mixed by Taka (MP3)

In the mid-1990s, a magical place existed called MJQ. Located in the basement lounge of Atlanta's Ponce De Leon Hotel, it was home to stylish patrons sipping on cheap drinks, chatting, and listening to sensational music spun by DJs including our guest this week, Taka. His cultivated compositions of funk, jazz, deep house and Ninja Tunes-esqe hip-hop kept the clientele captivated late into the night. Taka began his DJing career around 1993. Along with his featured residency at MJQ, he hopped around to Homage Cafe, Ying Yang Cafe, Nomenclature Museum, Crescent Room, and Kaya. After moving to New York City in 2000, he DJed at the Leopard Lounge in East Village. These days, you can occasionally find him at Sullivan Room. Some recent gigs include opening for UK's Domu, organized by Federation NYC in 2006.

Genres: deep house, disco, funk, hip hop, jazz, ninja tunes
