Born in Tokyo,Japan.
TOSHIKO began djing in 2001.
She had small residency in some gay clubs at the beginning. In those days she played hard techno, german electro and funky house.
However, she was booked one nice underground techno party. She played minimal house and more deep minimal tracks, and succeeded in having a good reputation.
Since this party, she has started her own resident party "TROPFEN" with her dj-friends at a small venue. This was an epoch in her dj life. She changed her dj sets ...more minimal and more experimental.
An organizer of popular techno party "ignite" listened her play at a small venue in one day, then he booked her as a front act dj for Dr.Shingo(Television/Music Mine) at Maniac Love where was the best techno club in Tokyo.
She started to expand her career at Maniac Love and more popular clubs since 2004.
Then, she has played with famous Japanese DJs/producers ...Karafuto aka. Fumiya Tanaka(Torema,op.disc), Takaaki Itoh(Wols), KAITO aka. Hiroshi Watanabe(KOMPAKT), Dr.Shingo(Television/Music Mine), DJ Tasaka(Ki/oon Records),Akiko Kiyama(Sud electronic,op.disc etc.), Hikaru(Blasthead), Ryukyu Disko(Platik), and more.
She manipulates her original sound that is MID&HI controlling the space lightly and LOW rumbling along of the ground at will, and expresses with play style based on minimal techno influenced by new wave, electro and more electronic musics. Though it is heavy and dark, comical and tasteful.
And, she started a new project "UNDERWEARHAUSMUZIK" with Chinco and Pinkman.
