Pandora
Tokyo-born Pandora's 2008 debut sparked a DJ career which runs the gamut of Japan 's top venues and beyond.
Her signature sound, powered by hard, propulsive energy coupled with euphoric elation ,
has thrusted her to a vanguard spot on her home turf and into the global spotlight—making her one of the most in-demand female DJs of today.
Pandora's studio prowess is solidly showcased in her discography, which features an impressive selection of originals and remixes.
Some are emotional movers with melodic eloquence while others appeal to a harder side for floor-razing results.
These are the tools of a musical style which has vaulted Pandora past other DJs and positioned her as queen of the Japanese trance scene.
Performance milestones include being featured at Extrema, resident party of DJ Remo-con, as well as the massive outdoor rave "Re: animation," held in Shinjuku's Kabukicho district.
These feats and more have brought Pandora's strong brand of euphoria to countless crowds.
As for her track-making history, 2009 is when Pandora's talent in the studio began to truly bloom, with 2010 seeing her collaborate with Nish to release "Sparkling Starlight" and "Colorless" from his label Harderground Recordings.
Not stopping there, Pandora set foot on the overseas front with "Over The Rainbow," the momentous fiftieth release from German label Redux Records.
This is a killer track that has made it onto a myriad of compilations and marked Pandora's official induction into the ranks of top creators.
Without losing any momentum, the 2011 release of "Nish vs. Pandora - Atlantic Sky" was met with thunderous acclaim, conquering the top 100 trance chart of UK-based music download store Trackitdown—with an incontestable #1 spot.
The very same year, she traveled to the UK to make her overseas DJ debut at the "Off The Rails" pre-party, to which she was invited to play once more in 2013.
Moving onward to 2014, "Pandora and Ken Plus Ichiro - Rise In The East" was aired on Future Sounds of Egypt , radio show of middle eastern trance sensation Aly & Fila—personally hand-picked as episode #350's "Wonder of the Week."
In addition to the UK, Pandora's global sojourns have also seen her hit the States, connecting with artists and fans in an international cause to bring the music she so loves to the world: trance.
With production and engineering securely under her belt—this is one female artist poised to take on the global scene and never look back.
