Kato Konpyuta (カート・コンピュータ) makes late-night groove music: Shibuya-kei, jazz-funk and breakbeats with disco, city pop and soul in the mix. He’s a veteran DJ and producer working under a new name. Last Train, his debut single as Kato, came out on 2 October 2026 on Konpyuta Records, the first track from the upcoming Shibuya EP.

Kato Konpyuta (カート・コンピュータ) is a new name, not a new DJ. The producer behind it has spent years in DJ booths and studios under other names, and he keeps those to himself. Kato is what he’s making now, and he only shows up as the illustrated character on his covers.

He’s a self-confessed music and tech geek. Konpyuta is Japanese for computer, a nickname from friends who never see him away from one. His studio is one small room: a floor covered in records, an old computer that still boots, and a turntable that’s always spinning.

Years of digging shaped the sound. Shibuya-kei is home base, with jazz-funk and breakbeats underneath and plenty of disco, city pop and soul in the mix. He makes graphic design and art alongside the music. Last Train is his first release as Kato Konpyuta, and the Shibuya EP follows soon on his own label, Konpyuta Records.
