Takashi Himeoka (Cabaret Recordings / snapout / Cowboy Family)

Debuting in 2014 via his now-infamous 'Tamayura EP' on Swiss label RORA, Toyko-based Takashi Himeoka has since established himself as a well-respected producer globally, maintaining a solid discography of reputable vinyl and V/A releases on labels around the world. 

Unafraid to push the envelope, Himeoka's sound is diverse and exciting, spanning from deep minimal house as per his early releases, to the energetic blend of Detroit Techno, UK House and Electro that characterises his later works. Importantly, Takashi Himeoka combines his broad-ranging influences with finesse to create a highly-original sound, one which has notably blossomed via his 2019 'Utakata EP' on his own label Phreak Records, and his 2021 'Wormhole EP' on legendary Japanese label, Cabaret Recordings. 

Takashi Himeoka's DJ-craft stands as a further expression of his experience and creative sensibility. A staple face in booths around Tokyo, his technical proficiency, timeless selections and groove-focus has toured him around Asia, Australia and Europe.

Liiebermann is the production unit of K.Hamawaki (previously released on Fumiya Tanaka's Torema Records label) and Ko-Ta from Stratosphere.

Ko-Ta is influenced by old techno pop music like YMO, Kraftwerk and minimal techno like Jeff Mills and Basic Channel.
He started making his own music in 1991 and DJing in 1993 in Kushiro, Hokkaido. Ko-Ta established the minimal techno label Stratosphere in 1997. Stratosphere released 7 EPs especially for DJs. He now gets DJ offers from all over Japan.

K.Hamawaki fell into minimal music such as Jeff Mills and Basic Channel. He started as a DJ / producer when he was 15 years old in Hiroshima. K.Hamawaki contacted Ko-Ta in 2001. Ko-Ta was deeply impressed with K.Hamawaki's tracks and decided to release from Stratosphere. Also K.Hamawaki released a track from Fumiya Tanaka's Torema Record in 2006.

Liibermann started in January, 2008.
Ko-Ta and K.Hamawaki work together from Kushiro, Hokkaido and Tokyo.
