Tokyo-based party organisers Zodiac have had a rapidly growing reputation for quality, thanks to the hard work of found DJ Kemal. Originally from Turkey, DJ Kemal spent the 1990s travelling around the world DJing in place such as South Africa, Israel and Thailand. Since October 2001, however, he has been based in Tokyo, where he has been using his international connections to bring the freshest sounds available to Japan. The success of his Zodiac parties has resulted in a new force in Japanese parties, and DJ Kemal has become a resident DJ at the famous Arcadia parties.
