++ DIFFERENT WORLD ++

Different World is the Live/DJ project of veteran Detroit DJ/producer Claude Young and Japanese producer/DJ Takasi Nakajima, himself an accomplished DMC Japan Competitor and respected music aficionado.

Young and Nakajima met when Claude relocated to Japan in early 2005 and the two quickly became close friends after discovering they shared a love of electronic music, turntablism and production. After only a short time working together the two artist were booked to perform at the Movement Electronic Music Festival in Detroit Michigan, closing out the packed made in Detroit stage.

Frequently their sets feature an eclectic mix of exclusive edit’s of classic tracks and current works from around the globe.

DW finished 2011 with an extremely impressive tour of the USA performing an 8 Hour (all night) set at the legendary “BUNKER” club in New York City, then moved on to play Washington DC & Pittsburgh all in a matter of a few days.

2012 sees Different World visit Europe for the first time, starting in Leeds...




++ CLAUDE YOUNG ++

Electronic composer, web designer, videographer, sci-fi junkie, apple computer expert & world class DJ, these are but a few of the hats worn by the anomaly that is Claude Young Jr.

This Detroit native who now resides in Tokyo (Japan) was born the son of legendary WJLB (Detroit) radio personality, station founding member and production wizard Claude Young Sr.

After early interest in television production and some experience working as an intern (and later mix show DJ) for several radio programs in the early 90's, CYJ intensified his interest in what he refers to as the art of the DJ. Coached by close friend and mentor Anthony "Shake" Shakir he became a natural almost literally overnight.

His editing & production skills in studio (taught to him by his father & years of experimentation alone) saw him work on a string of records for both independent and major record labels. Musto & Bones, Technasia, Gary Numan, Carl Craig, Joey Beltram, Inner City and 4Hero are but a few of the artist either remixed or edited by Young.

He was also cofounder of two of Detroit electronic music's most respected record imprints:

Frictional Records (with Anthony "Shake" Shakir) and

7Th City Records (with Dan "DBX" Bell).

Relocating to London in 1995, Young embarked on a string of DJ tours world wide from Europe to Asia & beyond lasting almost a decade.

In December 2004, Young semi-retired from his DJ activity to start cynet:media with his current mentor & close friend / advisor HG Wells (in Glasgow) and his wife < cynet:media Japan>.

This team includes cy's DJ partner, True People resident DJ & Glasgow House guru Ian Elgey.

The company will focus on presenting electronic music in the most modern forms possible and without musical constraints.
