Tomoki Tamura Essentials

Tomoki Tamura crafts house tracks with hypnotic surfaces, but small details reveal hidden depths in his shiny floor-fillers. Born in Osaka, Tamura has spent the last decade in some of the top clubs in Europe, and his music hints at diverse influences, with bouncy anthems incorporating haunting piano lines, jazzy sax riffs, and icy bells. Tamura also makes heavy use of human voices, from snippets of singing to entire spoken-word conversations, which add physical warmth to his hypnotic, mostly electronic progressions.
