Shhhhh is a Tokyo-based DJ and sound explorer, known for his unique ability to merge diverse musical styles into a seamless, genre-defying groove.

In 2025, he expanded his international presence with performances at Bali’s Klimax, two tours across the United States, and a notable appearance at Making Time ∞ in Philadelphia.
His international presence continues to grow through his contributions to radio platforms such as Worldwide FM and NTS, The Lot Radio as well as his performances at major festivals and underground events worldwide.

His festival appearances include  Mindgames presents Labyrinth 2024, Future Terror, Rainbow Disco Club, rural , and more.
### El Folklore Paradox His musical concept and label, **"El Folklore Paradox,"** embodies his philosophy: *"Traditional music carries hints of the most cutting-edge sounds of the future, while the latest techno, in some way, remains connected to ancient folk music through the DNA of human memory and rhythm."*
