Angelo Stasi - PlancK  - Basis Change Remix

Dropping in January 2023 is the reissue of DJ Shufflemaster's album EXP, which Tresor Records first released in 2001. This expanded reissue comes as a 3xLP with new artwork by Japanese designer Sk8thing and combines the original CD release tracks with three tracks from the Angel Gate 12" from the same year, including a remix by Surgeon of Experience. Also present is a previously unreleased version of Innervisions, which replaces the assonant synths of the original with a looped vocal sample upfront. Climb and Guiding Light will feature as digital-only tracks. 

Tatsuya Kanamori remains a critical component of the Tokyo techno underground scene, initially coming to the fore through the Subvoice label before releases with Tresor, Theory Recordings, and Japanese record labels such as Disq and Reel Musiq. At the moment of the original release, DJ Shufflemaster considered the record to draw in disparate and latent ideas into a fully encompassing mesh - "I would like to show my thoughts and everything that I am through the album. If it doesn't reflect my ideas and the reasons that I live for, there is no meaning for me to create an album. Therefore, EXP doesn't contain just one theme or concept." 

EXP represents an uncompromising and psychedelic slant on techno, with a purist's focus on the dancefloor. It bridges many avenues within the techno genre, from the minimalist, dubby terrains of tracks like P.F.L.P. and Opaqueness, to more fierce percussive works that share a kinship with the sonic movements in Berlin, Detroit and the UK. Beyond the technical, pared-down techno found in tracks such as EXP and Onto The Body, the album leaps into unpredictable territories frequently. Angel Exit carries mystical UK steppers moods as if it were a long-lost dubplate of The Rootsman. Kanamori delves deep into looping digital grunge in Flowers of Cantarella and Dawn Purple, these synthetic worlds enveloping and deforming at will. Bold and as fresh as ever, EXP is an unearthed jewel from Tresor's past for new ears.

His preferred medium is Ableton, as it allows him to work quickly and efficiently, bringing his ideas to life seamlessly. For him, it is the ideal tool to fully unleash his creativity.
He focuses exclusively on dark, hypnotic, and dystopian techno with tempos ranging from 138 to 146 BPM. His motivation stems from the incredible diversity of electronic music and the endless possibilities to create and explore its many facets.
He draws inspiration primarily from the night and from parties, where the energy and atmosphere fuel his creativity. Additionally, his work is influenced by genres such as alternative rock, trap, hard wave, hip-hop, and many others.
His greatest inspirations include artists like Marcal , Quelza, Hitam, Benza, Ketch, and Alarico, whose work has left a lasting impact on him and shaped his style.
