HARUKA

Tokyo-based DJ and producer Haruka works from techno’s physical core, shaping sets that bring drive, groove and psychedelia into focus across clubs, festivals and open-air spaces.
His playing carries both momentum and detail, creating a strong sense of focus and flow across the full arc of a set.

Built through years of experience across Japan’s club and festival circuit, his reputation has grown internationally, with regular appearances across Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. In 2023, he was named one of Mixmag’s Breakthrough DJs. Also known for extended sets — which have run up to eleven hours — Haruka is trusted for his ability to hold a dance floor’s attention over long stretches of time, without losing momentum or detail.

Closely involved with Future Terror over the years, Haruka has contributed both as a DJ and to the party’s organisational and curatorial side. With Protection, his own label, he has created a space for music that moves between functional club music, abstraction and contemporary listening. A growing run of his own releases on the imprint continues to extend his DJ sensibility into production.
