Jazztronik

Jazztronik is the stage name of Ryota Nozak, a Japanese DJ, musician, and producer whose music fuses jazz influences with deep house and dance grooves. A student of classical piano, Ryota also developed a passion for Latin jazz, Brazilian music, and traditional jazz forms. In 1999, Nozak released his first record as Jazztronik, Ms. Loneliness, and it was the first of dozens of EPs and singles from the prolific producer. Nozak's international success has made him one of the leading lights on the nu jazz and jazz-house scenes. His DJ sets attract large audiences at events in Japan and the U.K. ~ Mark Deming
