Biography
Shigeki discovered his passion for house music after he migrated from his native Japan to Australia; he hit the clubs on Sydney's famous Oxford Street scene in 1999, and this experience was the catalyst for his DJ career. He quickly became one of the hottest stars of Sydney's club music scene, scoring weekly residencies at legendary venues such as Stonewall and Midnightshift.
He established himself as a credible master of the decks week after week, and he was admired for his impeccable technical mixing and inspiring track choices. Shigeki soon graduated to larger-scale events as his unique, dynamic sound captured the hearts and attention of both local and interstate promoters. Before long, Shigeki had some of the Southern Hemisphere's biggest events under his belt: Sydney Mardi Gras Party, Sleaze Ball, Big Queer Nation, Harbour Party, Inquisition and Toybox to name but a few.
In 2005, Shigeki made his international debut at Happy in Singapore; this spurred his subsequent relocation to the island nation three years later. Having relocated to one of Southeast Asia's nightlife hubs, Shigeki grew his international following: he has been a regular guest DJ for Atlantis Cruises and has spun in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bali, Hong Kong, Osaka, Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei. In Singapore, he has graced the decks at Play, Rewind, House, The Vault, White Rabbit, Tanjong Beach Club, Stereolab, Privé, Velvet Underground and me@OUE.
Shigeki played as a resident at Ku Dé Ta Singapore from 2010 to 2012, which was followed by Kyō from 2013 to 2017. His current residencies include W Singapore Sentosa Cove, CÉ LA VI and PS.Cafe Ann Siang Hill, as well as regular appearances at Man About Town events. Over his 15 year career, Shigeki has played alongside a wide spectrum of artistes including Francois K, Miguel Migs, Kiko Navarro, The Carry Nation, Horse Meat Disco and Dimitri From Paris. Shigeki's music styles are uniquely diverse, and he blends between genres seamlessly; from house to disco, from current to classics, always with a soulful touch.
