Kikiorix's career began in 2001 after he sent a demo to NS-COM and got a production signed on the Play Label compilation CD. His music was quickly picked up by top abstract genre artists such as Luke Vibert and DJ Spooky.
After releasing on numerous compilation CDs in Japan, Kikiorix decides to move to London in search of new inspiration. In 2005, he releases the LIQUID BODY 12 inch EP on Kingsize Records (formely Adrift records) which also features in its ranks the likes of Chicken Lips, Audiofly, and Phil Kieran. His "3am Pop" track gets into the playlists of such big DJs as John Digweed, X-Press 2, Damian Lazarus, Ewan Person, Switch and soon becomes a smash hit.
At the same time, his reputation as a DJ also grows as he becomes more in demand. He forms a new unit with Tomoki Tamura and plays under the name of Geisha Disco Boyz in many of London's top locations week-in week-out. They begin organizing parties at clubs such as Ministry of Sound and their main event "HOLIC" at The End's 1st floor AKA inviting the likes of Jimpster, Xpress-2, Milton Jackson, Andrew Weatherall. Their event soon becomes the not to be missed thursday night event in the English capital.
in 2007, after returning to Japan he releases a new work on Phonique's Ladies & Genlemen label and continues his DJ career regularly appearing at clubs such as WOMB, AGEHA, and AIR. For 2009, he plans to continue making remixes or EPs to be released on both domestic and international labels.
