Profile
USAO is a Japanese music producer who appeared in the doujin scene in 2006. He started producing songs under the frenchcore genre, to then becoming one of the main hardstyle acts from Japan. In the last few years, USAO expanded his music production to the dubstep genre and recently he has even done happy hardcore, handz up, psy-trance, EDM and pumpcore songs.
In releases, USAO sometimes uses two aliases: DJ Shandy Kubota (for dubstep tracks, and as a vocalist) and DJ Nanashi (for upbeat and handz up tracks). With DJ WILDPARTY he forms the Shot Bass Idiots group where he releases megamixed compilations and trap and jungle terror tracks as well.
USAO is a member of the HARDCORE TANO*C circle and owns the UOM RECORDS label. He makes appearances in labels such as SKETCH UP! Recordings and Massive CircleZ.
