Hiroki's musical birth began in the back seat of a silver 1974 Buick Skylark. It was here that he would sit while his mom would drive around town and listen to the likes of Chuck Mangionie, Simon and Garfunkel and Chaka Kahn. His babysitter on the other hand pounded classic rock into his brain. That was just the beginning.........
As any other dj that grew up in Chicago will tell you, the influences of 80's/90's radio took hold of many ears. Many WBMX and early B96 house mixes were recorded religiously every weekend and Hiroki was a devout follower. On the flip side he was also already in love with hip-hop, electro and 80's synth pop. It seemed as though every memory in his head could be connected with a certain song or style of music.
His love for music made him put on some Z Cavariccis and search out places like Medusa's (on Sheffield), Limelight and countless hotel parties. But, it wasn't till around 91/92 that the rave/loft party bug caught Chicago and Hiroki's heart and soul. Every chance that he got he would dance till the wee hours of the morning to the likes of Derrick Carter, Miles Maeda and Mark Farina. This is where his appreciation for the dj and his dedication to music was born. Along with those things came his addiction to vinyl records as well.....
Since then, Hiroki has turned a hobby into a full fledged career and has held many residencies in all of Chicago's top clubs including Mad Bar (where he produced/promoted an influential night of drum and bass, hip-hop and downtempo called Chrome.), a 3 year residency at Y Bar, Lava Lounge, Danny's, Debonair, Empire Liquors, Lumen, Sound-Bar, Moonshine, Slick's Lounge (R.I.P), Zentra, Red no. 5, Vision, a 4 year residency at Crobar and as a resident for Pure. He has also djed alongside the likes of Jeff Mills, Derrick Cater, Mark Farina, Dj Heather, Kool Keith, De La Soul, Afrika Bambatta, Grooverider, Fabio, Dj Spinna, Colette, Luke Solomon, Jesse Rose, Goldie, Mixmaster Morris, Dj Rap and many more as this eclectic list continues to grow..............
His fresh roasted blend of house, hip-hop, downtempo, r&b and obscure records will have you shakin' that ass and asking yourself "Where in the @.%&?!. did he find that record?"
