It was a product of luck and vision of Geoff Wilkinson, the leader of Us3 based in London, that he released Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) in 1993 by sampling Herbie Hancock’s famous number.
He might have been sued when the tune he made by sampling the legendary guitarist Grand Green’s Sookie Sookie” became a big hit on the jazz dance scene. But Blue Note Records decided to give him the complete access to its back catalogue. Thus Cantaloop was born.
“Hand on the Torch”, an album that includes Cantaloop, achieved the first platinum status for Blue Note and sold over 2.5 million copies in the world.
The worldwide success of Us3 took everyone by surprise, and proved a point to Geoff. “By sampling classic jazz tracks, mixing them with beats and raps, and having younger jazz cats playing on top I was acknowledging the past, staying rooted in the present, and looking forward to the future, all at the same time.”
Cantaloop has influenced so many musicians over 20 years and still sounds fresh.
It has been a year since their last appearance at The Peninsula Tokyo and we can be sure of new surprise that Us3 DJ unit brings to Tokyo this time.
You can also enjoy a fashion show by Thalassa Familiar r, an accessory brand that is rapidly growing in popularity among celebrities and trendsetters. CA4LA, a hat brand that keeps producing the original Japanese hat culture, will support the show with their hats.

Comments from the appearing artists
Toshio Matsuura
“ I cannot forget the great cheer from the full crowd on the dance floor when they heard the introduction of Cantaloop during U.F.O.’s Jazzin’ party at Yellow. I was surprised by its popularity because we had a wide range of ages among the audience”.

Shuya Okino (Kyoto Jazz Massive)
“ What could Us3 propose now who connected Jazz and club scene by Cantaloop? I am personally looking forward to it.”

Morley Robertson
“ I am very excited about this opportunity to meet you all. My play style is
rather eccentric but I will take balance in keeping the coolness. It would be wonderful if we could all contribute to make the party exciting. Looking forward to meeting you!”

"It was a historical moment of JAZZ meets HIP HOP when Us3 appeared at Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival '94. The night we meet again after 20 years will mark a new history of JAZZ meets HIP HOP."

Ketz
“Cantaloop is the song of my youth. I was one of those who fell in with it. It is the must for every one as it never fails to fade even after 20 years. I am so honored to participate in the event!”
