Makoto is renowned round the world for twisting the sonics of '70s funk and soul into turn-of-the-century breakbeat ballistics, and has cemented his rep as the good vibes ambassador for Japanese drum'n'bass. Before starting his own record imprint Human Elements, Makoto originally rolled with Good Looking and Bukem, but is now the master of his own destiny and he's chosen to destroy dance floors with his brand of jazzed-out soul music. On the couch Makoto chats about his sonic inspirations, dealing with labelsand stretching three-minute Motown master pieces into epic dancefloor journeys.
