himeee (Makiko Tanaka)

Her devout musical philosophy represents way of life.
Producing an explosive sonic landscape that fuses the primitive and the futuristic.
As if it would seem to sting sweetly with spectrum emotional groove.
Seeing the divine universe though her own filter, feeling is everything to her.

She was raised up by father who has a taste for Jazz such as ECM, while drinking milk. When she was 3 years old, she started to play classic piano and ballet.

In adolescence age, she was into punk/hard core/UK rock music then she began to play bass. One day when she was a high school student, she coincidentally came across an opportunity to take hip hop dance lesson that made her change her lifestyle totally. Since then, strenuously she was dancing on the street or in the club everyday to be into groove. Aspiration for it became intense as she started house dance that addressed her intimate underground musical culture. Her devout musical philosophy represents way of life.

Since then, strenuously she was dancing on the street or in the club everyday to be into groove. Aspiration for it became intense when she started house dance that is closely linked to underground musical culture. As luck would have it, that’s the first step towards now.

She was exploring myriad of parties all over the world or her home city Osaka used to hold jumbled up club scene. She got to meet many DJs spined a yawn of vinyl love.

Finally in 2007, She has started her career as a sunday afternoon lounge DJ at Japonica music store, in Kyoto where was a small record shop with garally space and decks known to those in the know after working as dancer or organizer holding party at beautiful temple or special occasions.
Then she became a member of the party 「Krauss」in Osaka which was renown to upcoming minimal techno, and also participated in performance unit 「DETROITJAXX」consisting of 8 dancers with lighting devices and 2 DJs after her first trip to Berlin together.

Moved to Berlin in 2014.
Needless to say, exact musical wonderland made her to be keen on production seriously to date.
Currently she settles down in Amsterdam, while working as writer, vegan foodie, spiritual devotee aka just a dreamer.
