DJ Yoshi Hibiki

A good DJ plays songs. A great one reads the room.

— that's the job
What I do

Four rooms. Same instinct.

Wedding day, café residency, corporate gala, or a 30th in someone's backyard — same ear, different vibe.

The name

Why Hibiki.

響 (hibiki) is a Japanese word with no clean English translation. It means resonance — the way a sound carries through a room, lingers in the air, and stays with you after the music stops.

That's the whole job, really. Anyone can play tracks. What I'm chasing is the hibiki — the moment a song hits a room and you can feel everyone catch it at the same time. The bit your guests are still talking about a month later.

A bit about me

From Japan nights to Melbourne mornings.

Hey, I'm Yoshi. Started DJing in Hawaii back in 2009. Since then I've competed at Red Bull Three Styles, won the Hawaii DJ Championship, and held residencies in Honolulu, Kumamoto, Tokyo and now Melbourne.

Hip-Hop and R&B are my home base, but a great room asks for everything — your nan's favourite song, the bride's first dance, the track that makes everyone lose it at midnight. I bring all of it.

Where I've played

A passport full of dance floors.

Resident DJ across three countries. Whatever weird thing happens at your event — I've probably already seen it.

How it works

From "hey" to encore in 4 steps.

01

Drop a line

Send me your date, venue and vision. I'll come back within 24 hours with availability and a quote.

02

Plan it out

We map out the key moments, must-plays, do-not-plays, and the energy curve from arrival to last call.

03

Lock it in

Final playlist, timeline check, gear sorted. Nothing left to chance on the day.

04

Show up & play

I arrive early, set up clean, and read the room from the first guest to the last. You enjoy the night.

Mixes

Don't trust me — listen.

Three sets, three rooms, three sides of how I read a crowd. Press play — headphones recommended.

Kind words

We didn't want a wedding playlist — we wanted someone who'd actually read our room. Yoshi played our parents off the dance floor at midnight. Two weeks on, our guests are still messaging us about the music.
