Marc Antomattei (born January 4, 1983), better known as DJ Antomattei of Tokyo (DJ AOT), is a professional disc jockey from Clarksville, Tennessee USA who is based in Yokohama and Tokyo, Japan.

Lastly, his grandfather's brother Cándido Antomattei, was one of two main vocalist in Arsenio Rodríguez's conjunto, a band that was part of the roots in the establishment of latin music genres such as mambo and salsa.
DJ Antomattei credits DJs Tony Humphries and Dimitri From Paris as his inspirations. The artist name "Antomattei of Tokyo" is an open homage to DJ Dimitri from Paris. Although Antomattei clearly is not of Japanese descent, he uses the name to mark where he had received his start in everything he does now as a DJ and as an entertainer.
