DJ Warp Tickets

DJ Warp is the professional alias of Takashi Watanabe, a producer and performer known for a funkier, deep-on-the-floor approach to deep techno, tech-house, and minimal techno. With a career spanning more than a decade, DJ Warp has carved out a signature sound—warm basslines, precise percussion, and driving grooves that keep dance floors moving. He’s released acclaimed work as both DJ Warp and Takashi Watanabe, including the albums Space Colony / Space Lab (Bass Works Recordings, 2017) and Snare Jazz (Hypnotic Room, 2011). His music often threads between introspective mood and high-energy peak-time sets, appealing to fans of underground techno and club-ready tech-house alike.

Beyond the studio, DJ Warp actively tours, bringing his deep techno sound to audiences around the world. In 2025, he’s lighting up Tokyo with a notable run of performances, including appearances at WARP SHINJUKU during the Red & White SMIRNOFF tour, as well as Shinjuku LOFT. His live sets are shaped by his funk-forward grooves and a hypnotic, deep-on-the-floor feel that resonates with both seasoned clubbers and new listeners.
