    Masaya Fantasista of Jazzy Sport on Uniting People

    Meet Masaya Fantasista, the visionary founder and "captain" of the Japanese brand Jazzy Sport. What began over two decades ago as a record label and store has organically evolved into a vibrant community encompassing a dance studio, climbing gym, apparel shop, café, and even a garden. This belief in unity and collaboration extends to his vision for a more connected Asia.At its core, Jazzy Sport is a testament to Masaya's philosophy built on radical inclusivity, where he draws parallels between life, jazz, and sports, emphasizing teamwork and individual strengths."Each member has their own personality, so it's all different," he explains. "You have to find out the strong points and weaknesses of your teammates... Then, you have to use the others’ strong points and help those with weaknesses. That makes a stronger team."On our recent visit to Japan, Globetrotter Lab’s Kennedy Ashinze sat down with Masaya. He shares more on his vision for a more united Asia, his initiative to purchase a mountain in Nagano for a dog rescue (think "Jazzy Dog"), and the importance of inclusive communities.Special thanks to Zushi Film Festival and Cinema Caravan.

    Vibing with DJs Shy One & Ruby Savage

    Other than being notable figures in the UK nightlife scene, DJs Shy One and Ruby Savage have little in common musically. “We’re both on the ends of the spectrum,” Savage describes. But you know what they say: opposites attract, much like magnets. Or, in this case, “Like tennis,” as Shy One says. “We complement each other as well. It's like a little sparring like that.” The duo has teamed up for joint sets and brought their differing musical styles to many cities, including Bali, where Globetrotter’s Kennedy Ashinze caught up with them. Check out the latest episode of the “In Transit” series, where Shy One and Ruby Savage talk about the club scene in London, vibing with the crowd, and more. Connect with us!
