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 Mooqgroove
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.

YES Technofreak
I am seriously seriously seriously thinking about going....Satoshi Tomiie is the BEST progressive DJ in the WORLD in my opinion....better than Sasha, Diggers and Chris Fortier put together....very dark....very deep....very amazing...plus the man can mix
I am just kinda scared to go to Stereo...i know that sounds lame...but I am not a big fan of being hit upon by the "other" crowd.
I want to know something....is the crowd Really Heavily GAY? or are there just more Gay people there and lots of straight people? and what about the girl factor...are there lots of women there?
I am gonna ask a female classmate in montreal right now to come with me there....she has never been to an afterhours...so maybe i can get her to "get my back" before some beefy shirtless guy does :nervous:
How much is cover in advance? at the door? where can i get tickets? what is the dress code? what time does the clulb open? when will Satoshi Tomiie be mixing?:conf:
Too many questions ...but hopefully people can answer then soon |

You are actually thinking of not going?!
WTF, dude?!
And I was actually thinking of making a road trip from Toronto just for Satoshi on Friday and Lawler on Saturday (but my financial situation slapped me on the cheeck and made me realize I can only dream about it)...
And yes, I will agree with the statement above, that Satoshi is much better progressive DJ than Sasha & Digweed... that guy is en insane, and at the same time so calm. What a champ! Too bad I am gonna miss him... |
