A good friend of bemanistyle and mydjsobad, M-Project, has posted on his myspace asking all of his fans to vote for him as a new artist nominated to play at the 10th SUMMER SONIC music festival in Japan. This massive concert features some extremely high profile bands and solo artists from around the world, and the opportunity to play it will help expose one of the best recent IIDX newcomers and Makina/J-Core artists to many who would otherwise miss him. To vote just click the source link and follow the extremely simple instructions in the attached images on this headline.

Note: You can vote once each day.

While DJ MAX TECHNIKA has been doing phenomenal in most locations since it's release a couple of a weeks ago, some arcades still feel the need to test the waters with the title.
