Wakes From Coma EP by Risa Taniguchi

Risa Taniguchi's "Wakes from Coma" two-tracker on Chris Liebing's CLR is a powerful piece of frenzied techno, with looming synth stabs and incendiary hi-hats piling on the pressure while its rolling beat powers on. The hard-hitting "Mental Rut" ups the stakes next with distorted walls of noise, hammering kicks, and swirling synth textures that obscure the chopped-up vocal stabs. It's the sound of pure and brilliant dancefloor madness.

The Tokyo-based Risa Taniguchi last appeared on CLR in Spring with the "So Loud EP", which won support from artists like Dave Clarke, Kelly Lee Owens, and Luke Slater, following her first arrival on Liebing's label in 2022 alongside Black Asteroid, the "Acid Flesh EP." At the forefront of the Japanese techno scene, Taniguchi's music on labels like Second State and Kneaded Pains mixes dark, lo-fi sound, distorted textures, and slow-burning energy that always hits its mark.
