Live Sessions (2002)
live sessions was originally recorded in 2002 as kind of a "good bye Japan" mix. I only gave it to some people and never felt like distributing through retail. However, I like how it reflects the sets I was playing in the clubs at the time, and how it was recorded in one go. Re-mastered and cover art designed in April 2005.

Dessert Music (2002)
dessert music was originally served as a coster for a dessert at Bistro smash vol.5. It is a selection of mellow music that I thought would go well with sweets. I also wanted to present an alternative to Bossa Nova music that had saturated the cafes in Tokyo at the time. Re-mastered and redesigned in 2005.

Missiles and Cornedbeef (2001)
missiles and cornedbeef was originally handed out as a free CD to everyone who came to the Safety Scissors and Jake Mandell show that smashTV organized in October 2001. That year I had met so many musicians through DJing, organizing, and working as a interpreter, and wanted to make a mix that was mostly of people that I had interacted with. Re-mastered and new cover art was designed in April 2005.
