HIROO [OPS / GIANT SWING] biography

北海道札幌出身。イギリスに2年間滞在した後、1999年に函館にてDJを開始。
現在はテクノやハウスを中心にプレイするが、自らを函館のハードコアシーンの一部と考えるように、精神性においてあらゆるジャンルの制約から自由である。そのプレイスタイルも、場のインスピレーションや直感を重視する。
2008年には函館のラッパーY to the ONE(2011年に事故により逝去。独特なライムとフロウにより「日本語ラップ最後の秘境」「北海道の番人」と呼ばれた)のライブDJもつとめる。
2009年バンコクに移住。現地で活躍する日本人DJのmAsa niwayamaと共にパーティー"GIANT SWING"を始動し、徹底した音楽主義で高い評価を得る。タイのDJのオリジネイターのひとりDJ DRAGONによるダブステップパーティー"DUBWAY"にも参加。
レーベル"Oyamapan Sound"を主宰。

Born in Hokkaido, Japan in 1977.
He found many kind of music like Punk, Indie Rock, Jungle, Hip Hop, Techno, etc. when he was staying in England (Manchester, Birmingham and London) for a couple of years in late 90's.
Then started Djing in 1999.

He organized many parties and events in Japan, with Hokkaido musicians such as OKI ("Ainu" music innovator), THA BLUE HERB (legendary Hip Hop crew), and so on.
He teamed up with a rapper "The best-kept secret of Japanese Hip Hop" Y to the ONE (1980-2011), and toured Japan.
Often went to his hometown's local Hardcore scene gigs and put his heart into it.

Then moved to Bangkok in 2009.
His party "GIANT SWING" is organized in Bangkok with DJ mAsa niwayama. Various guests such as ALTZ, SINKICHI, DJ YAHMAN, DJ DOPPELGENGER, BLOWBOHEMIA a.k.a. Masumoto Kota, DJ ENDO (Japan), Patrizio Cavaliere (UK), THE ELECTRIC DOG, SayakaStar (Germany) and DJ Dragon (Thailand) played for the party.
In 2011, resident at Bangkok's top Dubstep party "DUBWAY" with DJ Dragon [Homebass Communications], MC Sinamon, Jo Stitch [Jiving-Tribe], etc. We invited DJs & musicians such as PINCH [Tectonic Recordings], RSD a.k.a. Rob Smith [Smith & Mighty] (UK), GA-PI DUB KITCHEN a.k.a. Gap T-bone (Thailand) and MC ABU [original member of Homebass Communications] (Japan). Artworks have been made collaborating with artists like Thun "TRK" Puchpen, Alex Face (Thailand) and QOTAROO (Japan).

DJ HIROO mainly plays heavy and dope tunes like Dubstep, Breakbeats and Techno. But on the other hand, he sometimes creates relaxed mood in his Chillout set.

He owns his music label called "Oyamapan Sound" and its sub-label "WORLD DJ's".
