After spending ten years studying classical ballet from childhood, Yuri’s love of music and movement led to her becoming a club dancer during the Japanese hip hop scene in the latter half of the 1990s. She was soon bitten by the electronic music bug around 2002, and started deejaying a couple of years later.

In a mostly male orientated music scene, Yuri was driven to create a strictly female deejay only party ‘Sound Channel’ which became a success right from its inception, with respected European artists such as EXTRAWELT, Cassy, Minilogue, and Electric Indigo being invited to Japan over the last 6 years. It then makes sense that due to the burgeoning dance music scene in Germany, Yuri recently decided to up sticks and relocate to it’s capital Berlin where she now feels truly at home amongst the city’s underground music fraternity.
