Tokyo-born and based Risa Taniguchi lays down her latest quartet of compositions for TREGAMBE titled ‘Our Deepest Fear’, typifying her visceral, dark techno energy, condensed into a cutting-edge, contemporary package.
Risa Taniguchi is arriving at the forefront of the dark techno wave that has washed over the underground in recent years. The Tokyo born – and based – artist has spent the last four years cultivating a lo-fi sound of distorted textures, fizzing synths and a quietly burning energy, which consumes all who hear it.
Preferring to play sets which are “late night, for the weirdos”, Risa has a knack for getting crowds in a nocturnal trance, before delivering shocks and surprises with a curious motif or unpredictable element. For those who like to cut loose in a dark environment, she is the perfect selector.
The label says “Risa first came onto Juliet’s radar last year following on from her amazing Kneaded Pains EP. Juliet and Risa then met in Tokyo last December when Juliet dropped in for a gig and over Tokyo’s finest sushi, their friendship blossomed with the pair playing later that evening together. As soon as Risa sent some tracks over, they connected to Juliet immediately as they tell a story, one which we can’t wait to share!”
We premiere ‘Our Deepest Fear’ on NUDE Techno today by Risa Taniguchi and it’s released on TREGAMBE, Today the 24th November 2023.
