The Language of Rhythm

dj honda

The beat is a heartbeat — feel it drop

Street voices rise and never stop

HV

Bass cuts the dark

The kick hits deep

From Sapporo, the rhythm speaks

Drop the needle — time will spin

Samples tell the soul within

No borders here

We move as one

No words — just rhythm, beat, and drum

The Language of Rhythm

No need for words!

The Language of Rhythm

The rhythm speaks!

Life is a track — fate rides the groove

Kicks hit hard — the snare won't move

Horns like wind, ancestors cry

Through the streets their voices fly

No passport, beat is our guide

Rhythm flows, and truth won't hide

The Language of Rhythm

No need for words!

The Language of Rhythm

The rhythm speaks!

Unstoppable — this sound’s alive

Forever spinning, we survive

    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.
