Music like Satoshi Tomiie

Satoshi Tomiie (富家 哲, Tomi'ie Satoshi, born November 22, 1966 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese DJ, record producer and musician. Since the late 1980s, he has been at the forefront of the global house music movement.

A lifelong student of jazz and classical piano, Satoshi had an influential impact from his very first record. His debut single ‘Tears’, which he co-produced in 1989 with Chicago's ‘Godfather of House’ Frankie Knuckles, was an instant club hit and is today considered one of house music's most important moments.

In the early 1990s, he toured and played keyboard for Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (of Yellow Magic Orchestra fame). His reputation for crafting meticulous club rhythms led to him remixing some of pop's biggest names including U2, Mariah Carey, Photek, Simply Red and David Bowie.
