Risa Taniguchi

Review: Risa Taniguchi is a new artist, but already she is carving out a distinct musical identity. The title track is a high-octane, percussive techno workout, focused on clattering drums and rickety percussion, with the use of repetitive vocal samples ensuring that it stands out. Similarly, "Reunited G" is a robust affair, centred on a throbbing bass and featuring tiny vocal snippets. "Mute Everything" sees Taniguchi change direction to deploy high-pitched trance hooks over a pulsating groove, while this emerging Japanese producer heads into uncharted waters for "Isolated Island". Led by a grinding, ebm-style sawtooth bass and gnarly percussion, the use of eerie vocal samples and atmospheric tones mean it is a highly individualistic track.

Review: Risa Taniguchi is a talented artist who can play multiple instruments and whose background lies in classical music as much as it does in the relentless techno of clubs that she spins at Womb in her hometown, Tokyo. For this release, she puts the focus on techno: "How We Dance Again" is a storming affair full of early UR-style rave stabs, while "Slipped My Mind" is deeper and more tripped out, as repetitive vocal loops are underpinned by a linear rhythm. "Sodium" sees her drop eerie piano keys against a rolling tribal groove, while "Unchained" concludes the release with pounding kicks and a throbbing bass.

Review: With a hot run of records this year coming from Pan-Pot, Amelie Lens and Industrialyzer alone, Second State Audio closes out 2019 with a compilation taking in tracks from label regulars and newcomers, with highlights coming from Secret Cinema, Gary Beck and Carlo Lio. The latter hooks up with John Rundell with a techy number of warehouse beats and neon synths in "Parallax", while Beck turns in a booming slab of vocal dub techno with "Rapture". Raffaele Rizzi supplies some darker synth and rave inspirations in "Fluorescence" with more '90s influnces abound in Hyperloop's "A Journey". For something more industrial and militant there's JNO & Giovanni Carozza' "Crispy" with Sara Simonit delivering some classy streamlined techno in "13 Guns". Chk chk.

Review: The sixth volume in the SUM series sees Second State pair up tough tracks with some deeper productions. It starts in high-octane form with the tough tech-house of VNTM & Tahko's "Rave Culture" and Risa Taniguchi's "Ridiculous", while Industrialyzer steers the compilation down a darker techno path with the pumping "Pulse". Counteracting these heavy elements are contributions from Nick Curly, who drops the pulsating deep house of "Refuge" and the heads-down tracky groove and pitch-bent vocals of Flug's "Maschine". The compilation also features a summer anthem in waiting - the epic synths and trance-inspired builds and drops of "Relief" by JNO.

Review: So far, Spanish label Clash Lion has put out music by Maetrik and one of its owners, Shall Ocin. Next up is Japan's Risa Taniguchi, whose initial productions have already been supported by the likes of Maceo Plex, Charlotte de Witte and Perc. The title track on her Clash Lion debut sits somewhere between techno and house. It's based on a powerful, surging bass, is supported by rolling snares and resounds to a moody siren riff. "Execution" is more understated, but it sees Taniguchi soaking the stripped back arrangement in acid. Rounding off the release is "Monica", a pile-driving percussive affair that will appeal to fans of Pan-Pot.
