Our last Global Vibe Radio episode of 2019 comes courtesy of Risa Taniguchi, an extremely talented rising artist from Japan.
Born and raised in Tokyo, Risa Taniguchi has been surrounded by the city’s electric atmosphere throughout her life drawing inspiration from the cities underground scene and playing clubs including Vent, Contact and Womb. Classically trained, Risa is multi-talented and a skilled player of the piano, trombone and violin and admits to always playing the darker side of even classical music, leaning towards minor rather than major.
She has a special sound and style of production. Her tracks are dark and distorted, with abrasive bass with some elements of acid. Using her own vocals on many of her tracks, she is setting the mark when it comes to eerie, linear heads-down techno.
Her productions have found a home on labels such as Second State Clash Lion, Kneaded Pains, Suara, and Polymath, a testament to her talent and the bright future ahead of her.
