Maybe it's Makoto's name — which, translated from the DJ's native Japanese, means "sincerity" — that enervates his heartfelt vocal harmonies and jazzy drum 'n bass. Or maybe it's just an old-fashioned ear for quality that gives the Tokyo native's '70s ballads and euphoric electronic drumbeats such verve. Either way, partygoers rarely stop to wonder when Makoto spins his signature sets, which bring back the days of disco while touching on every decade since — mostly because they're too busy dancing.
