Shingo Suwa was born and raised in Japan.
He began his career as a producer/ dj in 2004 and decided to move to Berlin in late 2005
to realize his own vision of electronic dancemusic.
Since his arrival he gained a lot experience by playing in clubs such as Maria, Bar25,
Lido, Villa and many more.
In early 2008 he founded his own label “Merkur Schallplatten“, a platform which carries
his asian roots and new european influences.
“Merkur Schallplatten“ was accepted by Diamonds and Pearls Music for distribution
and therefore gained important underground recognition.
Three vinyl-only EPs from the label have been released so far with the first two featuring Gonno,
a japanes artist who already released on Perc Trax and Beyond Records.
The third release featured Shingo Suwa, Gonno and Kai, a berlin based Producer of japanese origin
who also released on Alphahouse, Enliven and Süd Electronic.
Akirahawks, a friend of Shingo Suwa, started the house/disco re-edit label “House Mannuequin”
in late 2008 and the two teamed up for the release of two hand-stamped
white label singles limited to 300 copies.
The label concentrates on various styles of house/disco music,
edits and dj-tools and found support from Greg Wilson, Jesse Rose and more acclaimed DJs.
Through that platform Shingo Suwa has been able to grow as a producer and dj to create
fresh dancemusic with unique groovy vibes. He is currently working on more releases for
“Merkur Schallplatten” and keeping himself busy on the dancefloor.
