-Living Groove Bop- 【 NAIMA】(Blackchild)【 Diggin’ 】(Daniel Orpi)【 TREKKIE TRAX】【 Play Of Color】(A&R) Amps is a Japanese DJ, producer. His music draws deeply from the golden age of hard bop, blues, soul, disco, and yacht rock, reimagined through the pulse and precision of modern house music.
Born and raised in Japan, Amps grew up immersed in his father’s jazz and yacht rock records, as well as the tribal cadences of local festival music. These early influences form the emotional backbone of his sound — one that is simultaneously classic and alive.
Since beginning his DJ career in 2008, Amps has developed a reputation for deeply human, groove-oriented sets that balance sophistication and heat. He made his production debut in 2014 on the Tokyo-based label TREKKIE TRAX, and since 2022, has focused on Tech House imbued with rich jazz harmony, tribal energy, and raw analog textures.
His work has earned support from key figures across the global scene including Skream, Blackchild (ITA), Flight Facilities, Classmatic, Hito, YOUniverse (ITA), Daniel Orpi, and SHOKE, among others. With releases on respected international imprints and growing attention from DJs and dancers alike, Amps is steadily carving out his place as one of the most distinctive voices in the new wave of soulful, rhythm-forward house music.
