ELLI ARAKAWA

東京出身。2007年よりDJとしての活動をスタートして以降、献身的とも言える活動を続けてきた。

近年はRainbow Disco ClubやFujirock Festival 等の野外での活動が増えたが、今までもFuture Terrorを代表とする国内の様々なパーティーや「日独交流160周年」を記念したドイツ大使館主宰イベントにてドイツテクノ大使に任命されるなど、テクノを軸としたスタイルで、独創性のあるストーリーを創り上げる成熟したアーティストに育ちつつある。

フロアの温度感を感じながら、異色な楽曲もスムーズに繋ぎ合わせ、如何なる現場にも対応出来るDJであることを証明しており、彼女に信頼を置くアーティストやプロモーターは数知れない。

 

 

 

Elli Arakawa has earned a reputation in Tokyo’s techno scene for her uncompromising DJing sets, which deftly traverse the full gamut of the genre. Psychedelic, hypnotic details combine with propulsive percussion – outdoors festival meets warehouse rave – a juxtaposition reflecting Elli’s own hybrid identity as a dual heritage, multi-hyphenate artist – which she has employed to potent effect in her sets at legendary Japanese party Future Terror, Mindgames and Rainbow Disco Club.

 

She is currently focussed on expanding her latest event concept “omni + directional”, rooted in the inherent potential for music to break down borders and forge new pathways, much like Elli has demonstrated in her own career. 

 

As with the holistic objective behind her events, there is also a maturity she applies to her own artistry: respect for the craft, evident in her rigorous preparation for every gig; renewed self-confidence, which shines through in unpredictable sonic flourishes; and, simply, immaculate technique, nurtured in the spirit of craftsmanship, audible in every transition.
