Wata Igarashi

A leading figure of Japanese techno, Wata Igarashi is known for his deep, trippy, psychedelic sound. Listening to his tracks, which he describes as ‘cosmic drama’, is like being beneath a dark sky that’s expertly coloured with little exploding fireworks and shooting stars. The artist’s arpeggiated releases on labels like Figure, Time to Express and Semantica underscore his brilliance as a sound designer; pre­cise­ly engi­neered for max­i­mum impact, they subtly stand out on the dance floor. In Igarashi’s DJ sets, his tight mix­ing and frequency control cre­ate a potent blend of ener­gy and emo­tion.
