ryota tours Asia this summer with dates in seven cities

ryota is heading back on the road for another Asia tour, running from June 14 to July 5.

The Osaka-based DJ will bring his signature fusion of drum’n’bass, UKG, bass music and breakbeat to some of the region’s most exciting dancefloors.

He has announced stops at Seoul’s MODECi, BEAM in Bangkok, Tuff Club in Singapore, Old Man’s in Bali, Zoo in Jakarta with the ARIA crew, Apotheka in Manila, and a return to Hong Kong with 0159.

He's also hinted at possible additional dates.

While many discovered ryota through his explosive Boiler Room set, he’s since carved out a deeper global presence, most recently landing a residency on Rinse FM.

And, of course, he was also on Mixmag Asia's radar as an artist to look out for.

Last year, we collaborated with 0159 for ryota’s debut Hong Kong performance.

Beyond DJing, ryota is the driving force behind FULLHOUSE, the vibrant Osaka-based collective that turns six this September.

What began as a six-member crew has now grown into a ten-strong group of young creatives, mentioned as “the new heroes of Osaka’s clubbing scene”.

In an interview last year, ryota shared with us: “My ultimate goal is to transform FULLHOUSE into a club. In order to do so, I am using my opportunity to tour around the world to see what kind of clubs are around the world and also to connect with as many people as possible to find the right inspiration.”

Catch ryota on the road starting next week, as he’s not just touring; he’s laying the foundation for something bigger.
