Magnetic EP by Risa Taniguchi

Tokyo-based producer and DJ Risa Taniguchi returns to the legendary CLR imprint with the Magnetic EP.

Risa Taniguchi has released four EPs for the label, as well as releases on labels such as MOOD, Second State, and more, and has won support from artists including Amelie Lens, Perc, and Daniel Avery.

Risa Taniguchi's "Magnetic EP" opens with the title track, riding on thumping kicks, distant bell tones, and cavernous sub-bass that give the groove its full weight. Carefully sculpted details, from groaning textures to dusty hi-hats, add depth throughout as the track unfolds into a driving and cinematic techno workout. "Masks" keeps the pressure high with a more extroverted energy, layering hammering percussion, fractured synth lines, and vocal yelps into an urgent peak-time cut charged with tension and momentum.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, Shlomi Aber, and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene, such as The Southern and Klint.
