Within Australia’s hard dance scene, Yoshi has become one wanted DJ! In recent years, he has earned himself a massive following and obtained residences in some of Australia's top clubs and parties.

Renowned for his inspiring sound, whether it be driving hard dance, banging hard house, or his uplifting trance, the Yoshi sound is always fast, phat and hard, with no time to rest! Playing quality tracks with first class production, Yoshi will take you to another level and always aims to please the dance-floor disciples of hard dance.

2000-01 saw Yoshi travel widely throughout Australia, including gigs in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide. International appearances at world-renowned parties such as the Hard House Academy @ Brixton Academy, Happy Valley (a massive three day outdoor festival), Sounds On Sunday (spinning alongside Fergie) and Frantic’s 1^st birthday with Lab 4. He also appeared on Nova 96.9 as a regular guest DJ.

In Dec 2001, Yoshi released a nation wide, double pack CD with an assortment of trademark driving tunes, hand picked by the man himself. Mashed together with smooth seamless mixing, Yoshi invites you on the journey he regularly takes clubbers on every weekend.  It is a true representation of the beats Yoshi has crafted into his signature sound, which has fast become a firm favourite with Sydneysiders - it’s not hard to understand why Yoshi is in demand around Australia as well as internationally.

The ball just kept on rolling in 2002, with Yoshi returning to London for Timeless @ Camden Palace and playing major Australian gigs such as Two Tribes, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Utopia, Adventjah, Transmission and Sounds On Sunday’s 3^rd Birthday. He also secured several residencies with Frantic and Progress @ Gas, Fryd Delights @ The IceBox and Daydreams @ The Pavilion.

Production was the major focus for Yoshi in 2003, with his trip to London in May giving him the chance to write and release a tune for Daniel Ro on Peroxide Records, called `The 4<sup>th</sup> Dimension’. Released in October 2003, it has been remixed for the flipside by Phil Reynolds and Steve Blake. The Australian CD compilation `Inner City Beats' through Eyelash Records, featured two Yoshi releases `My Dj' and `Bass Trap’.  `Bass Trap', a collaboration between Yoshi and close friend Price Cuts, as well as `You Cats Will', a solo production, have both been signed to French breaks label Labrok and were released in November 2003.

Yoshi’s popularity just kept on growing in 2003, placing 13th in the 2003 Australia / NZ Technics Top 50 DJ poll, as voted by the public. He also gained an exclusive residence at Melbourne’s No.1 hard dance club, Hard Kandy, and released his second CD compilation, `The Sound Track Of My Life' (Vol 1) through Independent and Enigma Records in October 2003.

2004 saw Yoshi's production talents being further recognised internationally, with “Turned to Dust” being released on Billy Bunter and Roosta's label X-cite records. The tune is a collaborative effort between Yoshi and another young Aussie resident, DJ Chia, and has been heating up dance floors the world over. Yoshi ventured back to the UK in 2004 for yet another tour, playing at some of London's best parties such as Freeformation, Hard House Academy and Oblivion. Maintaining his position in the top 15 of the Technics Top 50 DJ poll, Yoshi also signed on for yet another interstate residency at Brisbane's Family Nightclub.

It’s a busy time already in 2005 for Yoshi - the chance to work with the likes of Phil Reynolds and Kevin Energy has led to Yoshi’s track `Heaven n Hell' coming up for release on Nu Energy Collective Records in February 2005. In between his hectic schedule, he has also found time to spend in the studio at home with K- Complex and has another tune out on white label called `Fly With The Beat', also out in February 2005. The new Central Energy Black Label (Vol. II), a double CD mixed by Yoshi and Brooklyn Bounce, is released on February 21^st. Look out for more Yoshi releases through Central Station in the coming months.

Regularly performing alongside Australian local acts such as Bexta, Mark Dynamix, Nick Fish, John Ferris, Jumping Jack, Nervous, Archie, Vixen and many more, Yoshi’s vibrant nature and real enjoyment of his chosen profession is a fresh sight behind the wheels of steel.
