DJ Tao Yoshi (Italy)

Many years of experience in all forms of alternative music since 1979 and recently renown for promoting large underground raves (Athanatos Productions) in Italy, Europe and elsewhere in his travels (eg organising this Paradise festival!). His depth of background in techno has seen him work with the likes of Roberto Milani (aka Robert Miles). Like his friend Robert (currently working with Aphex Twin) Tao is gradually moving into production.

He has seen the demise of the vibe within clubs and raves and is now concentrating on outdoor psy-trance events where a relaxed atmosphere can still be found in this crazy world of ours. If you have heard him during his regular Vinyl club gigs (Haad Rin) you will know that he brings into the psy-trance sound his own techno influences along the lines of his friend DJ Kato (Japan).
