Yuuki Yoshiyama Shapes the Future of Dance Culture from Japan to the World

April 4, 2025 -

Justin Angle

Yuuki Yoshiyama goes far beyond the call of duty of a DJ. With nearly three decades in the global electronic scene, he’s built a career that blends artist experience, festival production, and business development into one continuous motion. From headlining sets at EDC Las Vegas to leading Japan’s largest arena dance music event, GMO SONIC, Yoshiyama’s presence stretches across borders and industries.

Nicknamed the “Tech Maestro,” Yuuki moves between tech house, house, trance, and techno without pause. His performances across 15 countries and collaborations with names like Eric Prydz, MEDUZA, and FISHER speak to a career defined by range and reach. His own productions—like the TraxSource-charting “Trickster” and the widely supported “Tiger Beetle”—showcase a sound that balances club energy with international grandiose.

But it’s his behind-the-scenes work that truly sets him apart. As the former Executive Director for EDC Japan and now Executive Producer for GMO SONIC, he’s helped bring major dance events to massive local audiences. At W Osaka, he curates music, art, food, and fashion programming, all while advising over 30 companies in sectors ranging from hospitality and tech to dining and Web3.

Whether it’s through TOOLROOM Tokyo, his own party brand UDVD, or his expanding network of label collaborations, Yuuki Yoshiyama is building the kind of infrastructure that keeps electronic music alive and forward-moving in Asia—and beyond.
