Real name: Yutaka Yamashita

Effective period / Period of releases: 2005 - 2017

Yutaka Yamashita, also known as DJ TECHNORCH, is a pioneer of the hardcore movement in Japan. His main music style is based on the hardcore rave sound but also produces songs under the breakcore, rave, industrial techno, happy hardcore, J-Core and even Japanoise genres. His style uses a lot of old school rave sounds, scratching and chopped vocals, inspiring many other DJs and producers.

While his first albums were co-released with GUHROOVY, he now releases throughout his own label 999 Recordings. He was also a regular contributor to the HARDCORE TANO*C label but left in 2010-2011. He still appeared in the SPEED BALL series, making collaboration tracks with REDALiCE, and making special guest appearances at several of their live DJ events until 2015. As of 2017 he went on a hiatus in his own label, but still makes remixes for other labels, rhythm game tracks for beatmania IIDX, does live DJ sets (occasionally with 宇宙☆海月), and shows up at events like M3 and Comiket to sell goods.
