DJ C!AO is a DJ, event producer, and cultural creator based inOsaka, and a leading figure in Japan’s psychedelic music scene.

Since discovering trance culture in New Zealand in 1996, he has spent nearly 30 years cultivating a deeply immersive sound that transcends genre boundaries and explores the depths of consciousness through music.

His DJ style spans a wide range of psychedelic subgenres—from Psychedelic Trance and Night Full-On to Forest and

Dark Psy—crafting sets that are both physically explosive and spiritually transformative.

By fusing underground electronic expression with ceremonial and spiritual elements, he has garnered a dedicated following both in

Japan and internationally.

In addition to his main alias, DJ C!AO is also widely recognized under his low-BPM project P!NG, where he explores Psytechno, Dark Progressive, and Minimal Techno—offering a hypnotic, deep-floor experience that resonates with a broader range of electronic music audiences.

DJ C!AO is a founding member and key organizer of GAIA, one of the largest psychedelic culture festivals in Japan.

GAIA is more than just a music event—it is a multi-sensory, multi-generational festival where sound, healing arts, environmental consciousness, and spiritual experiences are

interwoven into a holistic celebration of life.

DJ C!AO plays a central role in bringing this vision to life, overseeing everything from artist bookings and stage design to the integration of healing and ceremonial spaces.

Outside of GAIA, he continues to perform at clubs, outdoor festivals, and spiritual gatherings across Asia, constantly creating spaces where sound becomes a tool for raising consciousness and fostering human connection.
