Talvin Singh and TaBtek

    Soichi was first spotted at the after party of Encompass 2005, a music conference held in London. He was a vj in the 2nd room and Talvin was presenting his TaBtek project with Oskar Vizan in the main room. After seeing Soichi’s vj performance, they realised the missing ingredient with this new TaBtek project was the visual element and immediately made an offer for Soichi to join them which he happily accepted and New audio-visual TaBtek debuted at Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal. They toured across Europe through to Australia/NewZealand from 2005 to 2008 with highly acclaimed review. When Tabtek project came to an end, Soichi was asked to continue with his visual artist role for Tablatronics project.

After the concert, one overheard audience member summed it up nicely: "That was the most artistic electronic music I've ever heard." -- Miguel Syjuco
