I was really asking my self lately if Konishi had retired... he doesn't seem to be doing anything theses days: no new music, no producing, no DJing... well, he's getting old, I guess ;)

No way! He's been DJing about every week, except for his yearly break in January. Also he's been an active musician in his band MAEZONO Naoki Group.

On the release side, it's been a bit quiet. I hope there will be a lot coming up this year. :)
Btw, I think he just turned 50 this week!
