If any proof were needed that hard dance has become a truly international phenomenon it is the success of Japanese DJ/producer, Yoji Biomehanika. Yoji has achieved rock star status in his own country with his inimitable brand of music and presence on stage. Yoji has grown into such an icon that Japanese clubbers can now even buy a Yoji Biomehanika watch especially made by Seiko.

His musical taste is fresh and uninhibited, making him a leader not a follower. His animated performance and flamboyant image contributes to Yoji's unique DJ persona.
As a producer, Yoji has been a major artist in the hard dance scene.

Yoji has also mixed 2 compilations for Europeﾕs dance festival dominators Dance Valley, as well as his very successful 2003 double CD release on TIDY.
