Satoshi Tomiie
is a Japanese DJ and record producer.

Biography

A lifelong student of jazz and classical piano, Satoshi had an influential impact from his very first record. His debut single ‘Tears’, which he co-produced in 1989 with Chicago's ‘Godfather of House’ Frankie Knuckles, was an instant club hit.

In the early 1990s, he toured and played keyboard for Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (of Yellow Magic Orchestra fame). His reputation for crafting meticulous club rhythms led to him remixing some of pop's biggest names including U2, Mariah Carey, Photek, Simply Red and David Bowie.

At the turn of the millennium, Satoshi introduced a new club sound via 2000's ‘Full Lick’ album. The long-player featured dark twisted electronic rhythms, haunting vocals, and hypnotic grooves.

Another source of house music renovation, Satoshi and Hector Romero's record label SAW Recordings has continued to refine the Chicago and New York City house blueprint over the last 10 years.
