Kana’s love affair with music began at the age of three, with her tiny fingers dancing across piano keys. By junior high, she composed her own classical piece for the first time, winning first place in her school’s competition. Her journey took a pivotal turn when she delved into the world of DJing in Osaka, a path that soon led her to Tokyo. There, she became a resident DJ at the iconic hard techno party “REBOOT” at Maniac Love, a legendary club known for its electrifying atmosphere and avant-garde sound. Her debut track, remixed by Tom Hades, on the EP “From Tokyo To Brussels” marked her entry into the global electronic music scene. She has since performed across Japan, Asia, and Europe, captivating audiences with her dynamic sets. Besides DJing, she released an album on Apple Music in 2008 as a member of the electric girls band “ so la mimie”. Then, she moved to Berlin, where she DJed under the name Kana Mechaniker and changed her artist name to Kana Tokikawa. In 2018, she founded her own label, Ohrfeigen, followed by the creation of DIMGI in 2024.
