About

Japanese DJ-producer Shingo Shibamoto runs Highland while performing and producing under the name Dr. Shingo.

Dr. Shingo operates at the intersection of DJing and production within Japan’s electronic sphere, presenting himself as both a live selector and a studio-minded producer. Performing under the name Dr. Shingo, Shingo Shibamoto builds his public profile around those twin roles and the infrastructure he created to support them. His work is recognizable less for headline milestones than for steady activity across Japan’s clubs and specialist circuits.

As founder of Highland, he has set up a focal point for his activities as an artist and organiser. Highland functions as the vehicle through which he articulates creative decisions—whether that means shaping a DJ set, testing production ideas, or commissioning projects tied to the local scene. The imprint reflects an intent to keep music-making and presentation closely aligned, privileging hands-on curation over passive authorship.

Across his public persona and behind-the-scenes role, Shingo Shibamoto keeps the emphasis on the craft of DJing and the particulars of production: track selection, pacing, and the careful layering of elements that suit club spaces. Today he remains active in Japan, maintaining Dr. Shingo as his working name while steering Highland as a continued point of contact between his artistic output and the audiences he serves. His profile is defined by that combination of performance, production, and label stewardship rather than singular commercial highlights.

Scene
