Hanakito

Hanakito is best known for her eclectic approach behind the decks. Her sets are characterized by a groovy flow, blending rare groove, Latin funk, soul, disco, and much more, with a particular focus on the roots of Chicago and Detroit house music. Her sound organically captivates true music lovers.

Her musical career began in the underground scene of her hometown, Tokyo, in the early 2010s. Working at Aoyama Tunnel, a renowned underground club where legends of Tokyo’s music scene regularly performed, sparked her passion for electronic music. It was there that she connected deeply with the local DJ culture and began organizing her own events.


Her passion for music grew even stronger during her time in Latin America. While living in Mexico City in 2016, she started to build her professional DJ career, drawing inspiration from the city’s energetic local music scene.


Now based in Barcelona, Hanakito has brought her sound to audiophile spaces such as Espai Salvadiscos, Curtis, and Oblicuo, as well as iconic clubs like La Paloma and Nitsa Club, among many others. Her goal is to channel the musical inspiration she experienced in Tokyo and Latin America into Barcelona’s scene, helping to create a more diverse and vibrant musical landscape.
