HISASHI AOCHI (TRONIC /SPECTRA /soO)

Adam Beyerとともに北欧のテクノシーンを牽引してきたレーベル『Tronic』のオーナー、Christian Smithから「今までとは全く違うタイプ」と評価を受けた関西を拠点に活動するDJ、プロデューサー。

2009年よりDJ・ライブパフォーマンスを開始。Ben Klock, Alan Fitzpatrick, Truncateなどへの来日サポートをはじめ、イギリスのベテラン、Ben SimsやDave Clarkeなども楽曲をリリースした大阪のテクノレーベル“Torque”から2014年にデビューする。

地元京都の老舗クラブ、CLUB METROのレギュラーパーティー「seQuence.」でレジデントDJを務め、テクノの枠にとらわれず、幅広いダンスミュージックをリコメンド。平日にもかかわらず盛り上がりを見せ、次第に週末の人気パーティーへと成長させた。

HISASHI AOCHI (TRONIC /SPECTRA /soO)

He first started DJing and performing at live Sets in 2009. 

In 2014, he made his debut with Osaka-based techno label Torque. Among other achievements, Torque is notable for releasing tracks by legendary UK artists Ben Sims and Dave Clarke, as well as for providing support during Japanese tours by artists such as Ben Klock, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Truncate, who have headlined at prominent festivals and clubs around the world. 

Starting in 2017, he worked for four years as a resident DJ for the regular party seQuence at CLUB METRO in his native Kyoto, and spotlighted a wide range of dance music, including genres outside of techno. The party was a success, despite initially being held on weekdays, and gradually grew into a popular weekend event. 

In late 2019, he formed the three-person collective soO with sintaro fujita, a promoter and co-performer at seQuence, and CeeeSTee, who also produces for CLUB METRO. Together with the other members, he performed on and released the split EP session 00, and despite the difficult situation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, celebrated the EP's release with a global virtual launch party. 

In 2020, he won the Grand Prix at the SPECTRA label competition run by Hiroyuki Arakawa, a producer who has received praise from Frank Muller, Takkyu Ishino, and KEN ISHII. He also appeared as a special guest at CIRCUS TOKYO and was featured extensively by Japanese media outlets such as BARKS, as well as in the Spain-based Mosssaic Magazine. 

Subsequently, his track won first prize out of a pool of some 300 submissions to the Drunken Kong remix contest, which was held to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Tronic, a label run by the legendary Christian Smith, who has worked at the forefront of the Nordic music scene alongside Adam Beyer. His first international release was also featured in Beatport's Week End Pick 100 and Electronica Top 100. 

He has been featured alongside Charlotte de Witte, Kölsch, and Joseph Capriati in Juno Records' Recommends TECHNO, and his work has been covered in Mixmag Japan, J-Wave's TOKYO MAAD SPIN, block.fm, and GH Streaming. 

He was praised by Christian Smith as a performer of a "radically new type" during an exclusive DJ set on Tronic Radio. As a composer and sound engineer, his work has featured in both movies and commercials. He also works as an editor specializing in dance music, and has written and provided editorial supervision for numerous articles.

［TRONIC / SPECTRA / soO］
Japanese #DJ #Producer Based in Kyoto & Osaka.

He has been DJing and performing since 2009. He made his debut with "Torque" in 2014, an Osaka-based label released by Ben Sims and Dave Clarke, that has supported Ben Klock, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Truncate in coming to Japan.

Since 2017, he has been a resident DJ at CLUB METRO's regular party "seQuence.", and has been bringing a wide range of dance music in Kyoto, where he was born, influenced by French electronic music together with his contemporaries. He has brought in next generation of originators with express diverse music as guests, making it into its popular weekend party spot.

At the end of 2019, he formed the collective "soO" together with the promoter sintaro fujita, with whom he had collaborated on "seQuence.", and CeeeSTee. CeeeSTee also produces for CLUB METRO. In the midst of the difficult situation caused by COVID-19, they released a split EP called "session 00". To celebrate its launch, they hosted a global virtual party from Kyoto.

In 2020, he won the Grand Prix in the SPECTRA label competition, which is run by Hiroyuki Arakawa, a producer supported by Frank Muller, Takkyu Ishino, and KEN ISHII. He appeared as a special guest at CIRCUS TOKYO, and was featured in BARKS and other domestic media, as well as Spain's Mossaic Magazine.

After that, he won the first prize in the Drunken Kong remix contest, which was held to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Tronic, a Swedish label run by Christian Smith. He beat more than 300 entries. He experienced his first international release, and was featured in Beatport's "Week End Pick 100" and "Electronica Top 100 Chart", and Juno Records' "Recommends TECHNO" together with works by Charlotte de Witte, Kölsch, and Joseph Capriati. He has also been featured in Mixmag Japan, J-Wave's TOKYO MAAD SPIN, and GH Streaming. 

He also performed an exclusive DJ set on Tronic Radio which Christian Smith called "Very different taste."

He has worked as a composer and sound engineer, providing music for films and commercials, and as an editor, writing and supervising articles on dance music.
