New York City native Hardkore has been making waves in the NYC underground since 2017, setting off techno and gabber bombs on unsuspecting crowds in the city’s best clubs and grimiest warehouses. As a main brain behind rave collectives Nosferatu and Anonymous Club, Hardkore builds bridges between the city’s forward-thinking fashion and techno scenes, culminating in the most talked-about parties of the past few years. Hardkore has also collaborated with Barcelona-based Toro Collective, bringing their debaucherous party to popular Brooklyn venue Heaven, and holds a residency at Lower East Side mainstay Home Sweet Home. Recently, he has played standout sets at beloved NYC collective Club Cakes’ forest rave, Flirt (HTX), and Bossa Nova Civic Club, where he dared to throw the best party of 2022 on the second-to-last day of the year.Recently at The Bowery Electric, Paragon, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with DREAMINSLOW, CYNICAL, Via App, none of them here that night

the whole biography
From Paris and Berlin to Lisbon, Marrakech and Indonesia - Christian has paved his way around the world into the ranks of selectors ushering in the electronic renaissance you see here before you. With backgrounds in fashion, fine & culinary arts - Tokyo’s idea of a dance floor could be compared to a painting or a well plated dish. His sound is comprised of deep emotion & strategic choices ranging from velvety House to magnetic Techno, warped Breaks and all in between the spectrum of dance music. Christian Tokyo has graced all but a few clubs here in New York - from Bronx house parties to the edge of Ridgewood. Now retiring a 3 year long run of weekly parties at NYC’s cherished bar - Home Sweet Home; Tokyo moves on to focus his time and energy on playing in more countries, building a namesake party in NYC and releasing forthcoming independent projects of his own. Having already been featured on video & radio platforms (NTS, Rinse, Lot Radio etc.) and already performing alongside newer artists and classic NYC legends like the Bronx’s world renowned duo the Martinez Brothers and James Blake (to name a few) Tokyo continues to step forward as a premier selector in a new wave of DJs firmly taking up sonic arms to represent their hometowns. Being raised out of a musical household with mentors from iconic underground New York City parties and establishments from young (The Loft & Limelight) solidified Christian's interest and dedication to his role in continuing the history of dance music. Expanding community around dance music and holding space for new and older members is Tokyo’s ultimate goal and if you’ve been fortunate enough to make his acquaintance at least just once - one would fully understand.
