With over 15 years’ experience playing anything from large open-air festivals such as Sonar and Fuji Rock to intimate parties, DJ YOGURT knows how to get a party moving. As a key figure of the Japanese and Tokyo electronic music scene - DJ Yogurt is recognized as a prolific party feature that has played alongside the likes of Todd Terje, Jeff Mills and Derrick May. His signature sound involves rolling, deep-energy house and techno infused with elements of Jazz and other eclectic sources, and injected straight to the dance floor via his extensive vinyl collection. Delivered with a cutting Japanese precision that never allows the dancing to do anything but get wilder as a night progresses, you can grasp the extent of his mastery of the art within minutes of listening to one of his sets.
On this occasion, he’ll be bringing his big bag of house, disco and techno vinyl bombs to set the floor on fire with his signature party-starting attitude, showing us how it’s done by the major protagonists of what is arguably Asia’s most developed underground dance scene.
Put on some good shoes.
