About

From the depths of Tokyo’s underground comes Frankie Waring, a selector who moves effortlessly between tech house, progressive house, and deep house—but don’t let the genres fool you. His sets are built on contrast: crisp grooves collide with moments of raw, emotional tension, and the tracklist? Well, the tagline says it all: “unsolved miseries // no track IDs 😎.” Expect the unexpected, and don’t bother Shazaming. Waring is also a key figure in Nitrous Oxide Systems (N.O.S.), a Tokyo-based collective and label founded in 2018 that’s been quietly pushing boundary-blurring sounds. When he’s not behind the decks, he’s digging through rare vinyl—his YouTube uploads hint at a deep love for garage house and 2-step bits, all pressed on wax. It’s that same crate-digging spirit that fuels his live sets, where every transition feels like a secret handshake between past and future. Whether you catch him in a dimly lit Shibuya basement or streaming a late-night mix, Frankie Waring keeps the floor guessing. No track IDs, no explanations—just the music and the puzzles it leaves behind.

Frankie Waring is a Tech House and Progressive House DJ in Tokyo. They have performed at Club Asia, Azumaya, Bonobo.
