A few months after I arrived in Japan I noticed just how important space was in Tokyo. Beyond the obvious limitations afforded by a capital city with an extremely dense population, I started to notice how the management of space was also central to how a lot of things are done in this town - [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Train Tetris", url: "http://www.lo-la.co.uk/2008/05/08/train-tetris/" });</script>]]></description>

Despite dubstep&#8217;s rise in popularity and consequent rise in numbers, from artists to DJs and labels, there is still only a core number of labels which are of real, regular interest to me.

One of the reasons I came to Japan was monkeys. Which may sound strange, but the fact is Japan is home to the world&#8217;s northermost monkeys, the famed Japanese macaque, first given fame by a cover on Time magazine of all places. Having seen the monkeys on TV a fair few times, I knew that [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Straight up monkey business", url: "http://www.lo-la.co.uk/2008/03/25/straight-up-monkey-business/" });</script>]]></description>

Animosity between neighbouring countries isn&#8217;t really anything new.
