Ibiza Voice Podcast 581 :: Risa Taniguchi by electronicvoice Ibiza Voice Podcast 581 :: Risa Taniguchi Interview and Download :: Tokyo’s Risa Taniguchi has only put out a couple of tunes, but they made a huge and immediate impact. One of them, ‘Satisfied', came about after sending a demo to an email address set up by Belgian star Amelie Lens. It was picked from the hundreds of entries and became a quick hit. Others have come on Lyase Recordings and Clash Lion and had support from big hitters like Maceo Plex, Charlotte de Witte and Perc, who clearly appreciate her sound, which his is dark, powerful and textural, with chattering percussive patterns and drilling bass and bringing apocalyptic atmospheres to the dance floor. After fully establishing herself on the Japanese scene on platforms like Dommune and Rakuten FM, she is now turning heads in the US at places like SXSW and various clubs around Europe. As long as she keeps turning out Beatport chart topping tunes and getting plays on Radio 1 from tastemakers like B.Traits, that is sure to continue. Here we speak about her fast rise, the scene in her native Japan, the controversial no dancing law and plenty more.
