Ogawa spent his teenage years living in the metropolis of Tokyo and was engulfed by many forms of music protruding from every nooks. Originally interested in punk, new wave and hip-hop, it was not until Chicago House overwhelmed his heart and clubs began to appear in the early 80's, that he found his true calling for dance music and became a DJ. Hailing from Nagoya, DJ Ogawa has been one of the pioneers of Nagoya's underground scene. In 2001, he began his own event called SMASH at Club Mago and after 12years of a solid reputation of high-quality music and world-class DJs, SMASH has become known across the country, and now favored by many guest DJs such as John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Satoshi Tomiie. Having a hectic schedule with residencies, even in the early days of his career, DJ Ogawa's true breakthrough came in 2008 when he took to production with studio partner Unic and released their first track "DEPARTURE". DJ Emma, known in Japan as the godfather of house went on to sign it to his label Nitelist Music, along with a remix by Sugirumn. Its instant success lead to it being ranked No.1 in Japan's Cisco's House Music Chart and with it being supported by a host of top DJ's at home and abroad, ended up selling out across the country and cemented his place as a producer in the dance music scene. With a great start in the studio, Ogawa took to remixing tracks and furthered his success with adding his unique touch to Kaoru Inoue's "The Whisperer in Germination", which was featured on the compilation CD series "EMMA HOUSE", and Inner City Jam Orchestra's "Sakura", which was included on the "Live at Pacha" CD mixed by Sugirumn and DJ Emma released in Japan. He has also continue with his own productions with Unic and released original tracks such as "SMASH" and "EXPLOSION", both of which have been huge hits on dance floors around the country and constantly played out by the likes of Hernan Cattaneo across the world. It is no wonder that the track "EXPLOSION", with its powerful bass and piano riffs was featured on Beatport's Progressive House Chart #9 in 2012. Now, DJ Ogawa regularly plays all over Japan and has been booked at many legendary clubs such as WOMB, YELLOW, AgeHa,Origami. Overseas has seen him showcasing his flawless mixing skills and instinctive ability to work a crowd in many Asian countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan and this year, in South Korea for the infamous festival "UMF" or also known as "ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL ". Recent his works are "AC2D" with UNIC from album"ACID CITY"/Nitelist Music and "AIR Alertness" from BASS WORKS RECORDINGS.
