Worried that she was going to lose her individuality to the conservatism of Japanese culture, deep techno star Hito left Japan in 1999 to find a new base for her distinct personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy home town is called Himeji,\u201d Hito explains. \u201cHimeji has a traditional Japanese castle; in terms of heritage and tradition the city is very important to Japan. But I wanted to see and feel a more international way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she arrived in Berlin, Hito didn\u2019t have any plans to start DJing. In fact, there was no great master plan at all. Germany was just another stepping stone for Hito as she hopped from one European country to another, sampling the many diverse cultures the continent has to offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI already had a few friends in Berlin who I\u2019d met at language school,\u201d Hito continues. \u201cI hung out with other new friends and a few artists, nowadays better known as Chilly Gonz\u00e1lez and Raz Ohara.\u201d<\/p>\n

To earn a living, Hito found work mixing vinyl in small underground bars across the city. Larger gigs, as they often do, followed. But it wasn\u2019t until Richie Hawtin asked her to become the face of his new sake bar that Hito scored her big break. When, in 2012, Hawtin\u2019s ENTER. concept landed in Ibiza, the girl from Himeji, Japan was suddenly on her way to Ibiza:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I visited the island was to play the opening of ENTER. at Space. I was terribly nervous and I couldn’t think about anything except playing. After the first gig I felt really burned out. The next day my friend took me to Es Vedra. I felt the energy come flooding back and I was able to relax again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the next few years, Space became a home-from-home for Hito\u2019s dark, minimalistic techno sound. She spent four seasons as a resident for ENTER.Sake, an engagement that massively increased her profile. \u201cSince then, I\u2019ve played everywhere in the world,\u201d Hito smiles, \u201ctouring by myself and touring with Rich for his ENTER.Sake projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hito admits that she will miss the spectacular nature of Thursday nights at Space this summer after Richie Hawtin decided to call time on his ENTER. residency. \u201cBut on the other hand, it’s a nice moment to change as well,\u201d she declares. \u201cI had an exclusivity with ENTER., but this year I can play many different venues in Ibiza and with different approaches musically. Now I can deliver my message to new dancefloors!\u201d<\/p>\n

No doubt her mentor Richie Hawtin would be proud, after all, his advice to his beautiful kimono-dressed prot\u00e9g\u00e9 was always: \u201cHito, just be as you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
