Fumiya Tanaka DJ set from Filter.SF at Fat City

On freqbox.net > freqbox music feed

On Saturday, April 28 Japan’s techno figurehead Fumiya Tanaka performed a three hour Dj set at San Francisco’s Fat City during his first U.S. visit.

Fumiya Tanaka is considered a hero among techno fans in Japan. In the U.S. he's known by only a devoted group of afficianados, but works like Unknown Possibility have entered into the cannon of techno classics.

Having toured with Jeff Mills in Europe in the mid-90’s, Tanaka’s crisp style has evolved from the harder Detroit techno sound he introduced to Japan over a decade ago. Today with partner Radiq, Tanaka’s Op.Disc label is focused on a hypnotic dancefloor minimal sound with a fresh artistic sensibility.

If you didn't manage to see the show in person, enjoy the set, and check out the newly available selection of Op.Disc tracks now on Beatport.
