What’s up with your name “No Milk”? Did you have a bad milk experience when you were a child?
(Laugh.) Sure! I drank a lot of milk to be tall, but I got a stomachache and in fact it did not work on me. The real reason is milk is symbolic of the white color. But my music reflects more of a “black” soul, funk, jazz and techno music with a Japanese twist. Also, it doesn’t sound like any name, does it? Nobody can see my nationality from No Milk. You’ve got to listen to the music first!
Who is your musical inspiration?
With all due respect, there isn't one. It’s more about things I’ve seen and experienced. Sometimes I’m inspired from random everyday life or just a cool party. Everything has an inspirational impact on me be it small or big and I love to create something from it.
What’s your favorite album or song?
Alicia Keys' MTV Unplugged album never lets me down; her voice and the harmony of the backing chorus are beautiful. And the groovy style of the band is cool, too.
Which event have you enjoyed the most so far? What’s the crowd like?
It is hard to choose just one. But when I see a happy crowd, I feel I want to give them more! I believe in the synergy that DJs and the crowd possess. We can come together to turn it into a great event.
What’s in your CD player?
I listen to slow beats and easy listening songs at home. I need a balanced harmony of my private life and work.
What’s your Bangkok show going to be like?
I’m very excited about Bangkok’s reaction to my music. I expect to rock the house at maximum levels early on in the evening ‘cause clubbing here is a little too short. I’ve got to be like an Olympic sprinter! I guess there’s no warm-up this time.
Where are you heading for the after-party?
I’m going to get a Thai traditional massage. Definitely! It’s the best way to chill-out, isn’t it?
What helps make a perfect set?
A good mixer, sexy and cute dancers—of course! (Laugh.)
What are some of your favorite DJ perks, aside from the free booze and chicks?
All of the great opportunities like coming here to Bangkok for Chivas’ party. Moreover, I just love pleasing my crowd. Their happiness makes it all worthwhile!
A word to your Thai fans and those that don’t know you yet.
Let’s have a good time and party together. The most important thing is to be borderless. Good times and widening your horizons will make up easily for the differences.
Five words to describe your work?
Perseverance, funky, twist, free and continuation.
