Takashi Yasumi aka Kagami was definitely one of the kings of TeSco (Techno Disco) made in Japan. He started in the mid-90s and became one of the most important artists of Frogman Records. Europe discovered him for the first time in 1999 when Thomas Schumacher released "Beat Bang Black" on his Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten, but the celebrity moment was in 2002 when many European DJs played "Perfect Storm", one of the tracks composed one year before for the infamous WIRE festival. "Tokyo Disco Music All Night", "Romantic Time Slip", "Tiger Track", the amazing "Mirror Ball Future Funk" are examples how Kagami has mixed in an intriguingly flow the energy of techno, the melodies from disco and the slap notes of funk.

Unfortunately, Kagami passed away in 2010. This set is a collection of some of his music along with the Tokyo Disco Music sound he pioneered, as emulated by other greats in the Japanese techno scene.

EMMANUEL TOP & ATTACK RECORDS TRIBUTE MIX by Michael Dietze

OWLS RULE. 

The label "abend kollektiv" was evolved in 2011 from techno party "abend" which started in 1999. 
Our basic colour is TECHNO in the broadest sense of the word, and as long as it's electronic music with a dance element, there are no restrictions on the form of our expression. The tempo of the releases is very gradual. Like an owl on the hunt, if something catches our fancy, we immediately take action, if not, we wait quietly and patiently for the right moment.
