Profile:
A.Mochi is one of the most prolific producers, Live performers and DJs in Tokyo's rich Techno scene. As a producer he released his music with labels like Len Faki's Figure, Francois K's WaveTec or Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver.
Initially Rock music captured his attentions as a younger man, however, the impact of the heavy, fat bass and beats of electro music changed his musical life forever, which became the basis of his career today. It was the continuous groove consisting of inorganic and dark electronic sounds that drove him further... obsessed and completely absorbed.
Gradually with the use of computer, his interest and skills in production grew. Simultaneously, his performance as a Live act and DJ at Maniac Love (which is known as one of the legendary clubs in Tokyo) kicked off which made the dance-floor erupt, people started to notice the great talent he was offering. Since then he has been booked as a guest artist at world-reknowned clubs in Tokyo.
In 2007, after releases on labels like 'Highland', 'Hardsignal' and 'Tremors' gathered him some respect, he signed a release with 'Mote-Evolver' owned by the UK's legendary techno pioneer Luke Slater. In 2008 he released two 12 inches for the 'Kumo' label, which also features artists such as Alex Bau from 'DBH-Music' in their core roster. Furthermore he brings out 'Orion EP' for the label 'WaveTec' owned by it's founder, the legendary house music DJ and purveyor of the the deep space, Francois K. In October of that year, 'Battery EP' which was released on Figure, the label owned by resident of one of the world’s most famous clubs (Berlin's Berghain / Panoramabar), Len Faki.
2009 will see a further release on Figure, (Figure 19) and his work as a Remixer of Shin Nishimura in May for the label 'SCI+TEC Digital Audio', the label of Dubfire aka Deep Dish. His profound work finds wide acceptance by popular artists like Len Faki, Luke Slater, Francois K., Chris Liebing, Dave Clarke, Adam Beyer, Dubfire, Mauro Picotto, Slam, Anja Schneider, Mark Broom, Alex Bau, TomCraft, Umek, Felix Krocher, Paul van Dyk, DJ Wada and more. By launching his very own
label 'Resound Records' in 2007, he has started this as a platform to build connections with other Japanese artists, and support the thriving local scene with even more new music.
As a producer and artist, A.Mochi will certainly bring even more sophisticated, powerful music to his audience in the year to come.
