Nauczajta kapelani troglodyci salezjani !

Came for Britta and discovered Kenji! what a beautiful experience dancing a genre i am not familiar with full of pleasant surprise, under the F1 subs wall! Thank you K (this moment in particular, so elegant!)

As sad as I was for Britta being sick that set was my absolute garbicz highlight!! 🔥🔥🔥

Hat ne Weile gedauert, herauszufinden, wer da im Wald gespielt hat. Bin froh dich gefunden zu haben! Großartig!

Alter, krass! Ich pack's nicht..das ist somit das phätteste was ich an rohem, trippigen und feinsinnig gemachten Techno seit Ewigkeiten gehört habe. Wow Wow Wow! Wann bist du das nächste mal in Hamburg im Südpol?

Probably one of the best sunsets of my life ❤️

thank you Fusion, thanks to all the people who stayed and danced with me the closing at Luftschloss. And of course thank you to my dear friends and their endless support, your tears, your words, your unconditional love. I had goosebumps the whole set seeing you dancing to my selection, can’t believe that happened, it really means the world to me 🚀❤️

Tactile | Closing Set @ Luftschloss Fusion 2025

Here is the recording of my liveset played at "Wald"  at "Garbicz Festival. I jumped in for Britta Arnold, who unfortunately had to cancel last minute. I was particularly sorry because I know that this festival is family to her. 

For the same reason, I was also aware of the responsibility it is to fill this slot. I knew that I couldn't replace Britta, of course, but I would do the best I can, with the biggest respect and sensitivity I could bring.

Thank you Garbicz for your trust and that wonderful chance and experience! 
<3

I’m beyond excited to share my set recorded at Garbicz Festival 2025 — Sunday afternoon on the magical Wiese stage. It was truly one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had, and I’m so grateful to everyone who supported me that day.
Hope you enjoy the ride!

PS. In some parts, mic audio was added so you can hear people’s reactions 🎤👂

IMPROVISED LIVE TECHNO
Psychedelic / Techno / Groove 
Berlin | Germany


Do you love techno?
Then take a stand for democracy.

The techno scene is built by and for people who choose freedom: be who you are, decide what you do, and think for yourself, while always respecting others’ boundaries.

Anti-democratic politics reject exactly that. Free people can’t be controlled.
Anyone who has ever felt that freedom — even just for a few hours on the dance floor — knows it’s worth protecting. 

By standing up for democracy, techno music, clubs and festivals can sustain. Techno lives on the dance floor!

This isn’t about followers, hype, hits, or fame. Techno music is one part of a larger system we call club culture — a place where people come together with respect, without violence, and in real communication.

Let’s choose democracy over fear! This is our planet too!

FCK AFD!

My approach to my music: 
I love loopy and trippy techno. When dancing, I like to let go of everything around me and enter a deeper dialogue with myself. At this stage, I am 100% in tune with myself. This works for me when the groove drives me and the elements I hear are interesting but not too intrusive. That’s exactly what I love to create on the dance floor.

To achieve this—and to create the necessary element of surprise—I combine different loops randomly and blindly. Since I never know exactly what will happen, I am constantly surprised and inspired by the result.

If you want to see how it works check out my youtube channel. www.youtube.com/@KenjiTanaka_Official




My instruments:
-Drums (TR8S)
-Bass (Modular)
-Rumble Bass (TR8S)
-Atmos (Fieldrecorder, Drumrack, Ableton)
-Synth 1 (MicroMonsta 2)
-Synth 2 (Polysix VST, Ableton)
-Vocal Samples (Ableton)
-Misc Samples (TR8S)


More nerdy Information:
For each of these instruments, I have prepared about 30 different loops, most of them 1 bar long.
Using the Streamdeck and a self-built ‘Max for Live Tool’, I can select a completely random loop for each instrument with the push of a button. The tonality can be set. To make sure it’s not completely random, I can choose between different categories, such as chords/arpeggiator.
I can control the complexity of the loop using controls.

All instruments run through Ableton (RME Fireface UCXii). With the help of ‘Launchcontrol’ and 2x ‘Midifighter Twister’, I can control all the parameters that are important to me. Filters, reverb, random delay and pitch effects glue everything together.

When playing, I rely on my intuition. I can sense what should happen 2-4 bars in advance. If I feel like I want to hear a new chord pattern, I press a button and let myself be surprised. If I like it, I develop it further. If I don’t like it, I move on.

Since the whole structure is improvised, I am correspondingly excited before the gigs. Because almost nothing can be planned in advance. My biggest clue is whether I dance. If I get myself to move and get lost, I am happy with what happens.
