Get to know Hito
The DJ who plays deep techno with a unique ecelctic perspective
Hito is from the small city of Himeji, famous for its medieval castle. She started DJing there at 20, turning up at a local club with records bought in London. Soon after moving to Berlin in 1999, she was DJing at the now defunct Maria, playing everything from experimental electronica to bhangra-influenced UK sounds. Her connections to the city’s fashion and design crowd saw her DJ for Dior before her involvement in a successful mobile Ramen business caught Hawtin’s eye; after he took her back to Japan in 2009 to study Sake, she helped set up his Sake bar project.
In 2012, Richie asked her for a DJ demo. Invited out to Ibiza, she initially thought it was as a hostess. Instead, it was a six-hour set every week. And after that first week, no more tears.
