Now, decades after his ‘Tears’ alongside Frankie Knuckles, the Japanese-born, New York and Paris-based DJ, producer, remixer and label boss is still a regular feature in the sets of many of today’s underground elite. A student of jazz and classical piano, @satoshitomiie is a musically adept and accomplished producer who constantly evolved how he works. Experimenting with a new hybrid Modular DJ setup which sees him effortlessly fuse live analogue modular synthesis and with traditional DJ sets. Regularly playing clubs such as DC10, Rex and from South America to Tokyo while releasing music on labels such as @kaoztheory, @no19music, Holic, @yoyaku and his own Abstract Architecture. Satoshi is as relevant as ever and continues to make waves throughout the electronic music community as only he knows how.

#160 | Satoshi Tomiie (US)

We won’t bore you with hyperbole regarding the long and illustrious career of Satoshi Tomiie. By this time you should be well aquatinted with his stone wall classic “Tears” alongside house music god Frankie Knuckles and a string of certified weapon releases. As unquestionable this seminal slice of house music is, that was 30 years ago and Satoshi is most definitely not one to dine out on previous accomplishments. An ever evolving journey through his music means that the only direction is progressively forward. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-171-satoshi-tomiie-live/]

Trommel.171 - Satoshi Tomiie (live)

Over a decade ago I had the pleasure of playing at Black Rock City on top of Robot Heart’s bus, a lovely memory that was thankfully recorded in ways to keep the flame alive until December 2023 when stars aligned and let that same pleasure, yet again, get us together, this time at the end of a month long residency in San Francisco. All Heart.

Maayan Nidam - Robot Heart Residency - Oakland 2023

We've been playing for the crew at Robot Heart for close to a decade now and each experience we've had is always so memorable, mostly because of the love and appreciation we feel from the whole crew and their impeccable attention to detail, allowing us to do what we do best, play records. 

When we were invited for the inaugural season of events in Oakland, we were deeply honored. 

We hope you all enjoy this set of select deeper than deep cuts from our record bags to your ears. Long live Robot Heart!

On the first night of my first burn this past year, I found myself in the (apparently quite rare) position of playing my first ever DJ set at Burning Man on the fabled @robotheartfoundation bus.

It wasn’t until I arrived at the RH bus after completing my first deep playa bike ride that I was acutely aware of the true nature of this rolling musical monolith. The bus is a mobile sound station, a portable dance party of epic proportions. And where it went, sound would emit, humans would dance, and energy would exchange.

I got to the decks atop the bus, which was well-stocked with every Burning Man archetype I had ever imagined, and many more. Musically, I had no idea how I would be received, but I pushed forward just doing my thing in a way that I thought would translate into this alien, yet strangely familiar setting: a sound system, a DJ booth, and a dance floor.

Listening back to this mix, I am struck with an element of “you had to be there,” that it is difficult for a recording to properly convey the sentiment that myself and the audience experienced that night. When I DJ-it’s very human - I don’t use sync, looping, or Rekordbox and I never pre-plan anything. I use the CDJs as though they are turntables, and my style is especially discernible in this mix.

A big thank you to the Robot Heart crew, especially @benji.ski and @shafferj for giving me such a warm welcome and trusting this BM virgin with the reigns of their seasoned chariot, as well as @gunitaislisted for making my journey to the playa possible. Maybe we ‘ll do it again sometime.
