DJ SAWA, well-known as one of the top djs in Tokyo club circuit, has been supporting progressive house music in Japan since mid 90's. His cd 'Progress+Transcend' , which is the first progressive house mix cd ever made in Japan, has highly been acclaimed as "a totally hypnotic musical journey", and selected as one of the best compilations of the year 2000 from the press. He was also known as a organiser of his own party 'Club Lovely' and 'Sublimation' @Yellow, Liquid Room and Womb during 1995-2002, invited and played with djs/artists as Satoshi Tomiie, John Creamer, Evolution, Salt Tank, Slacker, Tarrentella+Redanka, Nigel Dawson, Blu Peter etc. In March 2002, his fresh set excited the global industry clique at Pioneer/Bedrock party @Miami Winter Music Conference when he played with Way Out West, Chris Fortier and DJ Hyper. Following the success, his cd 'Compiled and mixed by DJ SAWA' was released from John Digweed's respectable progressive house label Bedrock, affirming that he is one of the most trustworthy house djs in Tokyo.
Since 2004, he has been devoting his passion to spin at Asian circuit parties more than ever, as he started his residency at Tokyo's biggest gay party Shangri-La in the super-club Ageha with guest djs like Tom Stephan, Chus & Ceballos, Hernan Cattaneo, Oscar G, Ralph Falcon, Tedd Patterson, Smokin Jo, Peter Bailey and Richie Santana. He had played 3 times at annual Nation party in Singapore and Phuket during 2004-2006 and his mix cd 'Nation.04' debuted at No.3 on HMV Dance/Soul chart on the week of its release and was at No.17 on HMV Top 40 chart the week after in Singapore. In June 2005 Channel [V] selected him as a featured artist and his interview/live set in Kuala Lumpur was televised worldwidely. He also has been playing in Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Bangkok, Jakarta, Auckland, Christchurch and so on.
His latest mix cd 'Welcome to Shangri-La' from Gate Records Japan, is a hybrid mixture of Progressive, Electro, Funky and Tribal House, with a touch of glamorous nightclubbing. (exclusively available at Fridae online shop for outside Japan)
