Risa Taniguchi (CLR / Second State / Kneaded Pains)

Risa Taniguchi is arriving at the forefront of the dark techno wave that has washed over the underground in recent years. The Tokyo born - and based - artist has spent the last four years cultivating a lo-fi sound of distorted textures, fizzing synths and a quietly burning energy, which consumes all who hear it. Preferring to play sets which are "late night, for the weirdos", Risa has a knack for getting crowds in a nocturnal trance, before delivering shocks and surprises with a curious motif or unpredictable element. For those who like to cut loose in a dark environment, she is the perfect selector. 
In the studio as well as the club, Risa focuses on the drums, programming kicks that bring visceral and often aggressive thrills next to a uniquely addictive layer of well designed snares and hi hats. Her signature has become her own subtle and intriguing vocal samples, best heard on Slipped My Mind and This Guy. She adds layers of acid bass and an always raw, edgy aesthetic. Having experienced them first hand whilst living in London, in 2010, Risa also has an enduring love of underground UK bass sounds, which can be heard in many of her tracks. The multi-talented act is also formally trained and a skilled player of the piano, who continues to play daily. 
Since her first release back in 2018, Risa has attracted high profile interest from A-list players Amelie Lens, Dense & Pika, Pan Pot, Perc and Daniel Avery; has hit the Top 5 of the Beatport's Leftfield Techno Chart and played everywhere from De Marktkantine in Amsterdam to Watergate in Berlin, and of course all the most revered spaces all across Japan including Contact, Womb, and Vent. 
Despite the pandemic, the recent years have proven to be a high watermark for Risa as she has delivered a continuous flow of new music, primarily on Pan Pot’s Second State and on Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains. With both of these mighty techno duos giving Risa their support and platforms, it has enabled her to start taking her first major footsteps into Europe, picking up her first headline bookings there. 
In 2022, she teams up for the first time together with Black Asteroid, a former engineer for Prince, and the duo will deliver three gritty, hard-hitting techno tracks on Chris Liebing's CLR.

The Colombian artist, currently based in Barcelona, brings over 20 years of unwavering dedication to electronic music and club culture. She remains a recognized standard-bearer, celebrated not only for her productions but also for her DJ sets, where she unfolds her broad, rich, and comprehensive vision of techno with vivacity, never conforming to any conventional sound.

Known for her raw, hypnotic and driving techno, Adriana has released on labels known to nurture this sound, such as Spanish labels PoleGroup and Semantica, as well as Stroboscopic Artefacts, Modularz, and her label, Grey Report.

Starting her career in the late 90’s in her home country of Colombia, she later moved to Barcelona in 2003, establishing a global presence with performances at top clubs and festivals, such as Berghain and Tresor (Berlin), fabric (London), Concrete and Rex (Paris), Elysia (Basel), Lux (Lisbon), Khidi (Tbilisi), Basement (New York), Vent (Tokyo), Faust and Vurt (Seoul), Awakenings (Hilvarenbeek), Stone Techno (Essen), XRDS (Brussels), DGTL (Barcelona, Madrid), Rainbow Serpent (Lexton) and many more.

"Bogotá-born, Barcelona-based techno purist and skill icon, Adriana Lopez, has been a scene-wide inspiration for over two decades now and creates an exceptional, atmospheric momentum with every performance..." - Stone Techno Festival, 2023.

"With such a strong commitment and determination to her artistic vision and an outright refusal to conform to any trends, Adriana Lopez stands as a pillar for strength and authenticity. With flawless technical prowess, she captivates audiences with her signature blend of physical and dark techno and her sound resonates with us on a profound level, striking the perfect balance between power and subtlety but avoiding over-the-top antics and overwhelming textures." - Basilar Festival 2023.
