Nobuo Ittetsu
Nobuo Ittetsu aka Ittetsu is from Yokohama Japan but relocated himself to London.
In his early years in the UK he spent time learning guitar and was focused on hardcore metal and was influenced by bands like The Deftones.
He did form a band and they went out and did giggs around venues across London .
However after two years the band disbanded and Ittetsu found himself alone with no clear direction for his love for music.
One day he visited Ministry of Sound and that sparked his interest for dance music. He started to explore Ableton and that led him to produce music tighter with Tomoki Tamura and, later, fellow Fuse resident Jun Akimoto.
It was Ittetsu partnership with Jun Akimoto that really propelled him into house and techno and today he is resident at Fuse London
Ittetsu plays mellow tech house . Check out his set from Fuse:
