Fumiya Tanaka

A true God of techno. He makes each and every track sound so simple and complex at the same time a bit like Steve Bicknell but with his own influence. It shows you that a technotrack can be made with very few sounds and yet sounds devine. In my eyes a true minimal producer and fantastic dj playing either techno or minimal with style.
I've never heard a Fumiya Tanaka record i didn't like and i'm very happy that he has been keeping his own sound over the years.
Unfortunately we don't get to see him very often in Europe.

Not quite sure what the above is about but yes, I think Fumiya is a good example of Japan for the world to see. Drives like a loony, takes his footy too seriously and is a thumping good DJ. Six hour Set with the Flu? no problem. Not heard much of his material as I refuse to buy it until he gives it to me, which however, doesnt seem that likely. Just been to his last Chaos Party at the Liquid rooms which was superb (last as that club will soon be closing, mores the pitty. Lets hope the rumours of a new Liquid Room on the way proove true).
