Beatman Biography
Back when Beatman was still called VIC, in 2010, he started out his career playing for small parties in lounges night after night. Even from that time, beatman already held clear images for the beats and sounds despite his rough play styles.
While working as an event manager, he invited the prestigious European producer, Alex Kenji, over to Japan and helped make the “Alex Kenji Japan Tour @Live & bar ONZIEME” a great success.
This event was key to making beatman a well-known DJ in the scene, showcasing his enduring passion and devotion to music.
beatman always pushes himself to choose the most difficult playstyle he can think of
Primarily focusing on house music, but also branching into other genres such as techno, tech house, and electro, beatman controls the dance floor through superb grooves using his passionate and aggressive play style.
This creative play style has also helped guide his talent into a keen sense for genre-busting freestyle.
In 2017, beatman launched a new project, ABSOLUTE MUSIC and its party, ABSOLUTE SESSION.
He invited Japanese techno and house music masters such as Ken Ishii, Ko Kimura, Q’Hey, Moodman, and Kaoru Inoue to work together on this new project. This exciting new project is also making beatman’s name much more well-known to a wider audience.
Recently, in 2018, beatman was involved in a support act for the warm up set of the legendary DJ, Roger Sanchez, also known as the King of House Music.
Of course Japanese music lovers were reminded of his unforgettable performance on the night of Alex Kenji’s 2015 party, which beatman served the warm up act for Alex so supremely!
beatman has also been involved in charity for orphaned children, holding the event “LIVE for Someone”. He hopes to change the world for the better through music and dance!
