In 2004, a new Rapture EP was released on West End Records (with Joi being the first Japanese in label’s roster), got a good support on radio and in DJ scene, and with huge success made Joi known in and outside of Japan. In 2005, Gentle Rain, Joi’s collaboration with H.Garden appeared in ‘Cafe Del Mar 25th Anniversary’. Lately it was released with Joe Claussell remixes on his Sacred Rhythm Music.
