Enfant terribles explore the limits of their DJing

While his reputation as a prominent techno visionary keeps him busy all over the world, Fumiya Tanaka’s home turf is undoubtedly Chaos, the night he has run for the past two decades. While he may be best known for his minimal techno work, commonly affiliated with iconic Berlin stable Perlon, Chaos is a special event for Tanaka. The party gives him carte blanche to deviate from his more established sound and take creative risks without losing sight of the dancefloor – you’ll hear him play more adventurously at Chaos than anywhere else.

Cabanne is a natural fit for this premise – the Parisian DJ and producer is equally entrenched in the minimal scene, but has an affinity for sounds far beyond the confines of 4/4 dance music. His 2016 album「Discopathy」was a perfect example, fusing hip-hop and sample culture with house grooves and more besides. When he joins Tanaka on the Studio X Floor, there will be no telling where these two craftsmen end up on their musical journey.

Mikio Kaminakamura will be making an appearance on the Contact floor. He’s previously released music on Tanaka’s labels Sundance and Untitled, ensuring the whole night will have a sense of musical coherence no matter how far out the DJs venture.
