About Tanukichi

(Night On Earth Records / Ram Records / Undergroundtekno)
Tanukichi is a Japanese DJ who’s always willing to evolve and to experiment at the frontiers of sound, in order to craft original tunes that strike powerful chords with his audience.

He has been into Europe’s free party culture since 2006, after a life-changing Teknival experience in his home country. Since then, he has been producing music that perfectly fits this scene’s vibe. Over the years he became one of the faces of European Hardtek, as well as being a trait d’union between Japanese and European rave scenes.

Tanukichi’s vivacious sound, centered on powerful kick drums, big bass and steady rhythms, all matched with a pristine and flawless sound production, moves and contaminates the audience’s spirit in a chain of energy and entertainment.
He is currently trying to achieve an high-powered sound with 4 kicks and a 175 BPM pace, pioneering the next era of drum and bass, energizing people and making them dance, feel, and fly on the high spirits of the kick bass, as has always been the case in Tanukichi’s 18 years long music career.
Tanukichi consistently performs at major festivals across Europe and Japan.
Among others, he has played : Boomtown Festival and Glastonbury in the UK, Fujirock in Japan, Defqon.1 Festival in the Netherlands, Electrobotik Invasion and  Reperkusound in France, Selvatek in Spain, Beats For Love Festival and X-Massacre in Czech Republic.
