Subway trembles, the MPC knocks
Unknown needle hand — from Japan to New York
Dré and Ed had the mic that night
No connects, no plugs, no limelight
No flash, no props — this is proof in sound
‘92 New Music Seminar floor
Clark Kent opened the vinyl war
Dropped the needle — time stood still
That one second sparked the will
Needle drawn — this is my blade
Routine sharp — my silent crusade
Turntable Truth
Raida’s gone — but his cuts still breathe
No need for words — the rhythm speaks
Rob Swift showed that battle code
Mix Master Mike bent time with soul
That night lit up a thousand roads
Each of us walked our own episode
Stacked loops deep, one by one
Still in it — no need to run
That one night I gave to spin
Still shapes the beat I live within
Needle drawn — this is my blade
Routine sharp — my silent crusade

One Man Orchestra
dj honda
[dj honda releases two new solo albums simultaneously, his first in 16 years]
He has released two self-titled albums, "hV," his first since "hIV" in 2009.
16 years. It's not silence, it's discipline.
"hV" is the culmination of sounds created "by himself" -- the name represents the evolution of sounds that transcends time, and the ultimate dialogue with oneself.
It is truly a "one-man show." And a "one-man orchestra."
In 2025, the heartbeat of h will resonate once again around the world.
That is the proof of dj honda.
