Satoshi's Bio

Satoshi's music career began at an early age when his parents encouraged him to study the

piano. He trained for an admirable ten years, developing a distinct passion for jazz. In school

he played in various bands. Soon after, the sound of Hip Hop provoked him to not only form his

own band but also to start his foray into DJ'ing and production. Then came house, as he became

fascinated by the early Chicago mix-tapes he was hearing.

A Japanese cosmetic company asked Satoshi to produce a track for their forthcoming promo

parties where legendary DJ Frankie Knuckles was performing. Knuckles saw the potential in

Satoshi's music and asked if he was interested in collaborating. The final result of their

partnership was "Tears", a defining moment in vocal house and a song now commonly regarded

as an all time classic. Satoshi soon took the leap and moved to New York. Since his seminal hit

"Tears" with Frankie Knuckles back in 1989, he has gone on to become a major part of the

acclaimed Def Mix crew. Tomiie has remixed and worked with the likes of Photek, Kosheen,

Simply Red, David Bowie, U2, Mariah Carey, Misia (Japan's #1 R&B artist), just to name a

few.

In 2000 Satoshi wrote and produced his debut album for Sony entitled "Full Lick" featuring

performances by Kelli Ali, former front woman for the Sneaker Pimps, Diane Charlemagne,

Robert Owens and others. The album has been met with critical acclaim by his fans and the

press with each single enjoying top ten dance chart success. "Up in Flames", one of the singles

from the album, included mixes from John Digweed and became a number one dance hit in the

UK. It is also featured on a number of mix cd's including Global Underground mixed by Steve

Lawler. In the US, "Up in Flames" and "Darkness" established Satoshi's presence in the

alternative music scene as well as the dance music scene. The Global Underground compilation

mixed by John Digweed also featured "Love in Traffic" the most recognizable single from "Full

Lick" in addition to three other "Satoshi" productions/ remixes.

In 2001, Satoshi Tomiie launched his own label "SAW.RECORDINGS". It was Satoshi's desire to

create a platform from which he would be able to showcase ideas and creativity that are more

experimental and underground. His first single entitled "Paranoize" by Bipath has caused major

excitement from DJ's worldwide. Follow up singles, Madam "Penetration" and Tomiie's "Virus"

gave SAW world recognition.

2002 will bring forth singles and EP's from the likes of Akadoma, Jerry Bonham and Tigerhook

as well as other forward thinking collaborations from Tomiie and his label.

His ongoing philosophy to push the envelope and expose new talents has assisted in the launch of

such new talents as Trendroids, Lexicon Avenue, and .

SAW.RECORDINGS is an example of the direction that Satoshi is heading in, acknowledging the

changes in the dance music scene, thus shifting what House music is. House music never stops

evolving and expanding its borders and Satoshi Tomiie is in the forefront of this movement.

Satoshi is the first American based DJ to be asked to record a NuBreed album (#6). With a

world tour under way Tomiie is starting the North American leg with a Spundae party in San

Francisco on May 31st. The Summer and Fall will find Satoshi in Spain at Pacha, Ibiza, Portugal

at Locamia, and throughout Italy and the UK.
