Akio Milan Paak is Japanese hard techno artist Akio
Yamamoto and he has several records on the Tormea label,
one of which, Lamborghini, was co-produced label owner
Fumiya Tanaka. Akio & Fumiya also record together as
Hoodrum. Hoodrum had a cd released on Sony Japan back
in 1996 called Business Card. The sound of Akio is
similar to that of Jeff Mills, Funiya Tanaka and or
Takkyu Ishino - hard detroit-esque percussive dancefloor
techno.
Here are the Akio Milan Paak related records i know of:
. Akio Milan Paak: Gulcia 12" (Torema)
. Akio Milan Paak: Fakir 12" (Torema)
. Akio Milan Paak: Lamborghini 12" (Torema)
. Hoodrum: Business Card cd (sony-japan)
Actually i believe that there is a Hoodrum track on the
recent Pacfic State comp 2xcd if you want a taste of that
project.
Hope this helps!
