DJ Sneaks #7 Mike Sunda

Formerly London-based, we met Mike as co-promoter of East London club night Playdoh as well as working on the team behind London music festival Stag & Dagger back in 2010. We realised the man has a fine taste in tunage and any DJ set we've caught of his in the past has been spot on, so we're pretty happy to have him step up with a favorite pair of kicks and a freshly stewed mix for us.

Now having temporarily re-located to Tokyo, Mike is keeping busy and regularly hitting the decks at some of the cities top dance music clubs, including Club Asia, Axxcis, Loop, Module, Trump Room and more. As well as having played alongside many of Japan's biggest club-scene staples, including 80kidz, Dexpistols, Taku Takahashi and DJ Kyoko, Mike is also deeply involved in the city's upcoming bass scene.

Mike's Kicks-
Original by Originals here. A superb colab between Adidas and designer Kazuki Kuraishis's line ObyOKZK . Kazuki Kuraishis also enlisted the help of Hong Kong creative collective CLOT for the production of this smooth as fook rework of the Superstar 80.



The Adidas Superstar has been in production since 1969 and is truly one of the most iconic basketball kicks on the planet. Nicknamed the shell toe the shoe was a low version of the Adidas pro model and the NBA's most popular shoes in it's release years. It was then given the world respected street fame that it holds to this day on the feet of Hip Hop legends in the early 1980s. Run DMC can take a large proportion of the props for this, their endorsement deal with Adidas being one of the earliest hip hop endorsements from a major corporation.
Mike got this pair free at an Adidas-sponsored show in Japan last year which is a serious foot ware win if you ask me. Mike says "I Don't normally go for low tops but I like the old-school vibes on these, and it's easy to keep em looking clean"........Standard.

Mike's Mix -

A seriously tight selection here consisting of the tracks mike is currently feeling including a few by some of his favourite producers based over Tokyo (BD1982, Eccy, Jesse Ruins) which we are definitely going to dig a little deeper into.
