Japanese Techno

**el_satan666** · 09-02-2004, 03:58 PM

I was wondering if anyone could point me towards some gooooood Japanese techno. I've already heard stuff from Ishii, Shufflemaster, Chester Beatty and Yamaoka but don't know where to get/find out more.

If anyone can help me with some more names or labels to look out for and if possible where to get them it'd be VERY much appreciated!

As a side note, what does everyone else think of J-Tech?

check releases by Fumiya Tanaka, Takkyu Ishino
They both are great turners behind the decks.
I only like tanaka's releases so far, from ishino it's not that good in my opinion.

Ishino is good for digital four four pumpin.

seen Fumiya Tanaka mix twice before. each time i had to leave the room. heard some train crashes which last over a 1 min. also every mix was in the wrong place in the record.

lazy mixing...

Saw Tanaka last year and his mixing was smooth and played some top records. Can't wait to see him again.

ive seen tanaka about a year ago ... 3 hours of minimal stuff with two or three electro tracks ...

nice sharp three decks mixing, but beleive me three hours of the smae minimal stuff gives you will to throw up

Some of that Easy Filters stuff by Ishi is ****in brilliant. I like the mystery or low keyness attached to these guys too, there's little pretence or pseudo image about any of the Japanese i know of... just good slabs of vinyl :clap:

Thanks man, there's alway great intimacy about that place, I really enjoyed it. My car broke down suddenly (First time ever) on the motorway on the way up in the middle of loads of Friday rush hour traffic, wasn't even enough power in it to get it to the hard shoulder, so it turned out to be a mad day getting there in the end!

aye pete said bout that, u made it anyway. and yea, love the fp when it gets a crowd (normally struggles no matter whose playin

) but there was enough to make it worthwhile on friday + the techno was great, was lovin the amok shit at the end :clap:

hehe, it's hard to not to play Amok's records, they are always useful

. But yeah, good fun in there; with such a wicked techno night going on in Belfast I'm surprised so many people only go to Shine, it's odd?

**Boboagogo** · 10-02-2004, 02:00 AM

it is odd. punters in belfast, for the main part, dont really seem to care about the scene yet theyre always the first to complain when there isnt any acts on. petes had bissmire and rue east/mark broom over and i doubt he got more than 100 through the doors between the 2 of them, but fair fux he still plugs away, hes got slobodan comin next month and theres a chance of wittekind comin aswell (fingers crossed for that one). things really need to pick up, and people need to realise what theyre missing, as i for one know that theres plenty of interest in the music here its just getting ppl to make the effort and to start supporting the scene before it dissapears.
