He blends hip-hop, jazz, and techno into what he calls cosmic soundscapes, citing Steve Reich's minimalism as a core influence — 'to me, that's the ultimate loop music.' Beyond his solo catalogue of over a dozen albums (Jazz in Time, Flowery Breaks, Jazz Things, Dawn Milky, Virtuality on Rucksack Records, Shattered Soul On A Pastel Sky, PLANETARIUM, MEMORIES), he records as part of ShinSight Trio with DJ RYOW and US emcee Insight, and in production units Martiangang and Levitatorz. He has produced audio content for brands including The North Face and Fuji Film and remixed Japanese rock bands. Self-taught originally, he relocated to the United States in 1995 for formal music studies before returning to Japan to launch his production career, and continues to release new music regularly — his latest single 'Movin'' dropped April 22, 2026. ![Shin-Ski](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb53ed65e82cb040177ce47bf9) SHIN-SKI Portrait · 2025–PRESENT ▸ VERIFIED STREAMS 16.014.021 TOTAL · 16M 63 DAYS · Total Releases 20 Years active 2025–PRESENT This week · ▲ 0.5% · 12K/day Streams this week +82.024 16M TOTAL Best day +4.1M Jun 12 Spotify +82K 100% OF TOTAL · 7D YouTube — 0% OF TOTAL · 7D SoundCloud — 0% OF TOTAL · 7D FASTEST GROWING Night Tale ▲ 1.6% Silent Solitary ▲ 1.1% Word Up ▲ 1% Collaborators · ![Shin-Ski](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb53ed65e82cb040177ce47bf9) Shin-Ski 47 tracks · 16.0M ![Komachi](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebcaf06b8a05c5be62951bb1bd) Komachi 6 tracks · 382.5K ![Tiny Griffi](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb83b82f6879e0d82fa65ecd40) Tiny Griffi 12 tracks · 147.9K ![DE DE MOUSE](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb16f89c7b6b365089693e96f3) DE DE MOUSE 12 tracks · 147.9K ![MIDICRONICA](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb6a76f11b832167481b6e9568) MIDICRONICA 2 tracks · 25.9K ![Hiro-a-key](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb12874bba5999dffc15e58cf5) Hiro-a-key 2 tracks · 25.9K ![Eki Shola](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb11e317cfe1ea84ac34d3cfce) Eki Shola 2 tracks · 3.9K ![SWING-O a.k.a. 45](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273c9282195994b057968594da7) SWING-O a.k.a. 45 2 tracks · 3.9K ![Shin-Ski](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb53ed65e82cb040177ce47bf9) Shin-Ski 47 tracks · 16.0M ![Komachi](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebcaf06b8a05c5be62951bb1bd) Komachi 6 tracks · 382.5K ![Tiny Griffi](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb83b82f6879e0d82fa65ecd40) Tiny Griffi 12 tracks · 147.9K ![DE DE MOUSE](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb16f89c7b6b365089693e96f3) DE DE MOUSE 12 tracks · 147.9K ![MIDICRONICA](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb6a76f11b832167481b6e9568) MIDICRONICA 2 tracks · 25.9K ![Hiro-a-key](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb12874bba5999dffc15e58cf5) Hiro-a-key 2 tracks · 25.9K ![Eki Shola](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb11e317cfe1ea84ac34d3cfce) Eki Shola 2 tracks · 3.9K ![SWING-O a.k.a. 45](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273c9282195994b057968594da7) SWING-O a.k.a. 45 2 tracks · 3.9K Trending this week · 5 climbing Last records broken · 8 milestones Milestones · 1 milestone 10M ALBUM · streams Jazz Vibes Shin-Ski Jun 2026 Top tracks · Ranked by streams · 10 ▸ Curatorial ## OBRA BY SHIN-SKI 20 RELEASES ROLE ### 2026 3 releases ### 2025 17 releases Catalog · Notes · Curatorial Bio Shin-Ski (real name Shinsuke Taoka) is a Japanese producer, beatmaker, and DJ from Amagasaki City in Hyogo, who has been a household name in Japanese hip-hop since the 2000s.
