Doppelganger DJs

Leo Yamane thought of himself as unique, but in his 20s, he came across someone who shared many of his rare traits. This meeting was the start of a DJ duo consisting of two Leos, both Japanese-Polish, both raised in Germany, and both playing house music. 

 

We discussed: 

• Leo meeting Leo 
• The discomfort around being marketed in Poland as “DJs from Tokyo” 
• Cultural differences when DJing around the world
• The reasons Leo didn’t become a full-time DJ
• Crossing the border between Poland and Germany during the Soviet times
• The synergies between Leo’s job and DJing
• The lessons that Leo can pass on to his Dominican-German stepdaughter, and the things she teaches him.
