Kuni Mogami ()

Kuni is a certified Sake Sommelier who trained in Japan before moving back to Amsterdam in 2021. After the pandemic, he began working at Glou Glou (winebar), and since 2023 he has been a chef at Pianeta Terra. Alongside his culinary work, Kuni hosts Yakitori Pop-Ups at natural wine bars, restaurants, and music festivals, including Rainbow Disco Club with Rush Hour at Lofi.

A lifelong music enthusiast, Kuni began collecting Hip Hop and R&B records in Japan in the early ’90s. This foundation in Rare Groove and sampling culture informs his genre-spanning DJ sets. Between 2004 and 2008, he worked in London as a personal assistant to DJ Gilles Peterson and as A&R at Brownswood Recordings (2006–2008), experiences that broadened his musical horizons and deepened his expertise. Kuni’s sets are known for their eclectic, genreless flow, seamlessly bridging Hip Hop, jazz, soul, and rare grooves.
