Aron T (dB UKi / Defected in the House, Tokyo) -

A rising star in Tokyo, with over 17years experience behind the decks of London UK’s House scene and around the world. His experience and talent have seen him spin and hold residencies at such legendary nights as Soul Heaven, Garage City and Housexy and take to the decks of the capitals top venues, including; Ministry of Sound, Pacha and Bar Rumba. These nights regularly put his sets along side respected DJs such as Kenny Carpenter (Studio 54), DJ Disciple (Catch 22), Norman Jay (BBC / MBE), Aaron Ross (BBC Radio1 Xtra / Defected / Fanatix) to name but a few.

Having been based in Tokyo since 2006, Aron has gained himself a respectable following amongst the city’s ‘heads’ from both the local and foreign community. Off the back of his own event creations, high profile DJ bookings and some very respectable residencies, his has become a household name in this thriving metropolis. 2007 saw the creation of Aron’s own event management company ‘UKi Events’ (which merged into ‘dB UKi Events’ in 2008) and his first Tokyo event ‘SOUL’, which drew on the true spirit of the London House scene. The DJ bookings soon flooded in after that, seeing him headline and hold residencies at such respected events as ‘CSH4’ @ super club ‘Womb’ and ‘SOLID’.

2008 was welcomed with co-organisational/promotional responsibilities and a residency for the world renowned ‘Defected in the House’ series @ super club ‘Air’, which put his sets along side such stars as ‘Dimitri from Paris’, ‘DJ Gregory’, ‘Sandy Rivera’, ‘Simon Dunmore’, ‘Charles Webster’, ‘The Shapeshifters’, ‘ATFC’, ‘Copyright’, ‘Yass’ & ‘Hardsoul’ and even gained him a place along side a plethora of these artists for the ‘Defected in the House 10th Anniversary’ at Tokyo mega-club ‘Ageha’. In parallel with this project, Aron re-launched the legendary ‘Junior Boys Own’ record label (now owned by Defected) in Tokyo with an event series featuring its owner and founder ‘Terry Farley’.

In a very segregated industry with foreign events on the one side and Japanese events on the other, Aron has been one of the very few foreign DJs able to charm his way into the Japanese community and remain, allowing him to enjoy both sides of the industry and perform to some very different audiences. Entering 2009, Aron’s diary filled up even further with regular bookings for Japanese run events ‘King Street Sounds’, ‘Cyber Japan’, ‘Hed Kandi’ & ‘Pacha’ having him play along side artists such as ‘Quentin Harris’, ‘MR.V’, ‘Danny Krivit’, ‘Sarah Main’ & ‘Chuckie’ and begin a series of appearances at super clubs ‘Warehouse’ & ‘eleven’ (formerly ‘Yellow’). Aron also started a series of monthly events at Tokyo’s ‘UNIT’, stepping away from his purest House routes and exploring all walks of dance music, with artists such as ‘Oliver Ho’ & ‘Ashley Beedle’.

In 2010 Aron took it upon himself to break new upcoming international talent in Tokyo, to educate and expose to the scene what had not yet fallen on Japanese ears, with artists such as Boddhi Satva (Vega Records / Yoruba Records / Offering Recordings). Aron was also an integral part of ‘AUDIO’, the first foreign organised 5000person+ 17hour electronic music festival to be held in central Tokyo!

Moving into 2011, Aron has been a mainstay of the Japanese clubbing scene and instrumental in nurturing it through difficult times. The opening of new super club ‘Sound Museum Vision’, saw Aron play a major part in events including the mighty ‘Basement Jaxx’ and the legendary ‘Louie Vega’!

As well as regular international bookings back at home in London, around Asia, Europe, Australia and even South Africa, this man knows how to light up a dance-floor!
