ABOUT THIS EPISODE
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.
