Sweet, beautiful deep house with influences from Africa to Brazil. The melodies are filled with pure rays of sunshine and the spirit and vibe of each mix should easily work for anyone who is a fan artists such as Joe Claussell, Jay Denes and DJ Gregory.

A HUNDRED BIRDS is a fifteen-member live group led by producer/conductor Yoku, based in Osaka, Japan. In 2001, Wave Music released the A HUNDRED BIRDS single BATONGA, which Japan's largest record shop reported as the second biggest seller that year after Daft Punk. Every Christmas Eve in Osaka and now the day before as well in Tokyo, Yoku expands A HUNDRED BIRDS to a 40-piece orchestra and adds additional live vocalists. The group performs AHB original tracks along with full orchestral renditions of favorite dance tracks. Some of their past performances have featured ORCHESTRAL VERSIONS of classics like "Love is the Message" to powerful interpretations of "Jaguar", "Black Water" and even the recent MAW remix of Earth, Wind & Fire's "You Can't Hide Love". The response to the "Dance Music meets Orchestral Unit on Christmas" has been amazing and it is an event not to be missed!
