Atsushi Maeda – Bassiani Podcast 202 Tracklist
Atsushi Maeda’s a name that’s been making ripples in Japan and beyond for over a decade, diligent behind decks and intimately connected with the Tokyo scene and its usual roster of clubs past and present (Contact, rural festival, et al.). He’s the founder of party series addictedloop as well as Rural, a festival that’s invited a crowd out for a summer escape each year for the past 16, including some formidable names in the techno field (excuse the pun) such as Jane Fitz, Wata Igarashi, DJ Nobu, GAS, Higher Intelligence Agency, DjRUM and more. From Taipei to Berlin, this seasoned selector has made a habit of delivering only the finest cuts, with a highly calculated and brain-stimulating brand of techno that’s apt to take his listeners on an alien trip. Bassiani Podcast 202 is an hour-long pitch from this polyrhythmic master, packed back-to-back with rattling basslines and discordant beeps, a symphony of laser precision for the most pious of ravers.
