NAOKI

Starting his career at Japan’s renowned club Club JB’s, he developed his refined sensibility on the same dance floor that once captivated Hot Since 82. With those roots as his foundation, he has built a four-on-the-floor style centered around house and techno. For over eight years, he has served as a resident DJ at Nagoya’s leading clubs ORCA and SANGO, while appearing at numerous events. Performing more than 200 shows annually, he has established a distinctive groove and a play style that balances freshness with consistency. Early in his career, he achieved a breakthrough by being booked at LIV, the largest club in Cebu, Philippines, where he drew an exceptional crowd despite being relatively unknown at the time. He continued to perform annually at five- star hotel–hosted festivals on the island until the pandemic brought them to a halt. His international reach expanded further when he appeared on the main floor of Dublin’s monster club The Academy, proving his skills resonate across Europe. More recently, he has performed at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE)—one of the world’s biggest dance music festivals—further solidifying his global presence. In Japan, he has been frequently selected as a supporting act for international artists, sharing the stage with an impressive lineup including MARK KNIGHT, MATRODA, NOIZU, D.O.D, BOYS NOIZE, KNOCK2, OOTRO, W&W, JULIAN JEWEILL, WEISS, TEDDY KILLERZ, NIGHT PUNK, and MATT JAM LAMONT. As the director and founder of his own party brand HOUSE DIMENSION, he curates lineups featuring DJs with overseas experience to recreate the atmosphere of world-class clubs. The event has gained broad support beyond the dance music community, with collaborations such as an exclusive NIKE AIRMAX installation and international guest performances—cementing his reputation as a key figure bridging music, culture, and style.
