Mark Ronson “Record Collection 2012″ EP (Kitsuné Records)

A Los Angeles native, David Yoshitomi has spent the past 17 years of his life behind the turntables and in record shops, literally.  Picking up his first Technics and vinyl in 1994, he's had the privilege of playing parties nation wide, from underground disco to all out party rock.   His selection is eclectic, but he never looses sight of the crowd and the direction of the party.  Yosh (that's what friends call him), is distinctly Californian, growing up in the early '90s skate, surf and snowboard scene.  He's known for DJ'ing around LA, making a great steak, being a huge Radiohead fan, and just living as an all around good guy.  His taste in music was refined while running Turntable Lab Los Angeles for four years, as well as just by having a strong passion to find the best shit out there.  He's not hipster, scenester, or socialite—he's just a solid guy that's striving to make things a bit better,  in music and life.
