Ace Tatsu was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where his musical beginnings started to take form in the streets during the break dancing and freestyle era, and gravitated to the electronic dance music scene with a move to San Francisco, California in 1996, the city where his dj career began. A place so rich in culture and diversity. Soul and creativity oozing from every corner, and Intertwined and amplified so richly by its inhabitants through music.
As San Francisco’s DJ culture erupted, Ace gained extensive exposure to other mixing styles ranging from Hip Hop and Mash ups to breaks, progressive house and Trance, experimenting with all. Eventually, Deep Sexy House Music was the style he became known for in which his most compelling influences were Miguel Migs, Mark Farina, Naked music and the Hed Kandi label.
Having multiple year residencies at almost every upscale lounge in San Fransisco such as Nihon, Straits, SupperClub, Bambuddha, and Infusion Lounge, built his reputation for artistry and professionalism.
As time progressed Ace etched his footprint of sound all over San Francisco from the 2005 to 2010 years and held residencies at the most prestigious night clubs and events such as one of the longest running day parties in San Francisco: 2nd Sunday, the latest Upscale Nightclub, Infusion lounge and regular gigs at Vessel, Harlot, Temple and Mighty just to name a few. Playing at the same parties with Top Talent such as Nick Warren, Sultan, DJ Dan, Morgan Page, Doc Martin, D:Fuse, High Spies, Max Vangeli, Dj Colette, Dj RAp, and Lee coombs, just to name a few. His sounds have been embraced as far off domestically as New York City, and Internationally throughout Eastern Europe, Austria, London, France and Australia.
A Tour in Europe 2010 with the Electronic Music act “FatMAgic”, winners of various Hollywood music awards led to a move to Budapest, and a year of gigging with the infamous underground House music collective “Strictly”. In the last couple of years the studio has been a second home for Ace, and his first productions have been acquired by some top notch electronic dance music labels such as Baroque Records UK, Quarterlife NYC, and USB Digital. These days his work is becoming more progressive, tech and underground, yet keeping the sexy, grooving vibe that it is known for. A recent collaboration with Eastern European Dj/Producer /label owner Shock Osugi lead to a summer album under the dj duo/producer moniker ” Narcotic Ninja’s”. Budapest is now his home, and Europe his playground. Inspired by the nightlife of this European city, his sounds are ever evolving, and you can look forward to some new Productions with a fresh new vibe coming soon. Available for club and private parties world wide.
