Since his 1998 debut under the U.K. label Alien Trax, NISH has published over 100 tracks for both domestic and international releases, and continues blazing ahead with his prolific career as a producer and DJ.

NISH made his impact in the scene early on, and in 2001 was crowned "Best New-Comer" by the U.K.'s Wax Magazine. In 2004, he kicked things up a notch by launching his own label, Harderground Recordings, under which he then released 16 singles and 3 albums. His first live recording, Raveraid - Live @ Ultra Pumpin', was the third of these albums and is widely regarded as the recording which secured his popularity in the club scene. Furthermore, 2006 saw the release of Harderground Connections, an album of NISH's collaborations with some of the top domestic and overseas artists, and in 2008 came the follow-up album, Harderground Connections 2. Among the tracks in this collection was the stunning "Blue Sunshine," a tune which shook dancefloors across the globe as it was licensed and published by numerous European labels in addition to its release in Japan. The remix by Sean Tyas was played by Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten on their respective radio shows, sending "Blue Sunshine" soaring to the #1 spot on countless charts.

NISH's domestic releases include a variety of other works, including the theme song for avex's massive outdoor music festival "a-nation," tracks for Konami's "Beat Mania," as well as remix work for Japanese pop superstar Ayumi Hamasaki. On the overseas front, NISH's productions have been released by labels such as Tranzlation, Tetsuo, Redux, and CGI, and he has established himself an unshakable status in both the club scene as well as the music industry.

As a live artist, NISH is primarily known for his residency at events such as "Vinylize" and "Fanatic," as well as for his guest performances at larger-scale events including the U.K. dance festival "Tidy Weekender" and YOJI's "GIGA."

NISH is currently continuing on full-force as both a DJ and a creator, and is truly Japan's representative Hard Dance total producer.
