̸BIOGRAPHY
Anglo-Japanese DJ //
Co Host | Sacred Pools Show on NTS
In his early teens, Toshiki was almost permanently locked to pirate radio stations like Touchdown and Kool FM. A fake NUS card took the 16 year old into a hedonistic, progressive world of raves, seduced by the sounds of early jungle at nights like AWOL and World Dance to techno from Laurent Garnier, Billy Nasty and Fabi Paras each playing at the height of their powers at Club UK.
Decades later, and Tosh’s taste for new music has yet to dampen, as his reputation as a versatile, generous selector has only grown. In a hype-focused environment for DJing, it speaks volumes that Tosh has been on-hand for London promoters such as Percolate and Krankbrother in order to play alongside some of the world's most influential DJs. As well as shows in the UK he plays overseas in Australia, Greece, Croatia and regularly in his home country Japan, where he has played in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, as well as broadcasting on the country's influential Dommune stream.
In 2020, Tosh joined DJ October and Faso as a monthly co-host on the cult ‘Sacred Pools’ show on NTS Radio, a no-holds-barred trip dissolving the boundaries between electronic and alternative music.
Whether in muddy fields, vast club spaces or in a small improvised Room 2, Tosh’s sincere acid house spirit and infectious enthusiasm always translates, always inspires.
