After the massive success of TAIKO on DJ CENTER RECORDS last year, TOMO HIRATA is back once again with another top-notch stunner release, this time on Twoloud’s PLAYBOX. Tomo, a true pioneer of Japan’s fast-rising EDM scene decided to do a collaboration with marvelous HOTLIFE from Sofia as well as the talented JONNY ROSE on vocals and mighty TWOLOUD on edits. The result ‘ONE LAST TIME‘ is a big vocal house anthem that is already being picked up internationally by many top DJs.
The Stafford Brothers just recently included it in their Something Big radio show. Other supporting DJs include: Tomorrowland’s Yves V, Danny Avila, Swanky Tunes, Lucky Date, Justin Prime, Mell Tierra, Futuristic Polar Bears, Manse, Klauss & Turino, and Carita La Nina. Unsurprisingly, the track is doing really well in the Beatport charts.
Tomo says: “I was lucky enough to be able to work with very talented European & American.’ONE LAST TIME’ is the inter-continental music that could unite people from all over the world.”
Next to his ample DJ gigs and production work, Tomo is host of the radio show EDM ESSENTIALS in which he showcases the hottest new EDM releases from around the world as well as an occasional guest mix ever week.
Tomo Hirata is a tireless promoter and believer in the global sound of EDM. He originally debuted in the early days of dance music. HOOJ CHOONS, the infuential UK based label released his first vinyl record in 1990 and ever since he’s been Djing and producing. Around 1994, techno really exploded in Japan and the whole dance scene started to grow. Tomo and his friend Yo-C’s had a lot of success with the ‘X-tra’ events which became very popular in the mid to late 90’s. They featured UK Hard House & Trance and gathered 1000 people monthly. Tomo Hirata’s ‘Feels like Heaven’ was used in a Japanese horror movie and climbed up the Japanese mainstream pop chart. After that he compiled & mixed 10 Trance compilations for major record companies and supported Tiesto in Osaka in 2001.
In the late 2000’s Tomo also worked with Japan’s most respected DJ, Shinichi Osawa. Considering his tireless dedication and contribution to EDM in Japan, Tomo is without a doubt the most underrated, secret weapon of the Japanese EDM scene.
