DJ Mochi
Mochi got his start spinning records as a student at the University of Oregon, where he hosted several radio programs on KWVA 88.1 FM. Since relocating to Chicago in 2016, he has brought his sound to dozens of venues across the city, landing residencies at local hot spots like Soho House, Ace Hotel, and The Whistler.
In 2020, amidst the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mochi co-launched Global Currency, a live-stream event on Twitch celebrating international sound system culture. Since landing a new home at Sleeping Village at the start of 2022, the event has quickly emerged as one of Chicago’s hottest dance parties. As a brand, Global Currency has officially partnered with Red Bull, featured top DJs from around the country, and headlined multiple music festivals to date.
Mochi’s versatility as an artist has led him to a variety of high-profile bookings. He has performed at Soulection's “Link Up” event, spun official after-parties for Afrobeats superstars like Burna Boy and BNXN (FKA Buju), and directly supported global talent, including Tame Impala, Lizzo, Tierra Whack, and Juls. Mochi frequently travels throughout North America, appearing on stages in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto, Denver, Indianapolis, and Portland.
