art:cast °161 | Paperkraft

Amidst the symphonic tapestry of electronic artistry, we find ourselves at the precipice of a riveting encounter with the maestro of sonic innovation, Paperkraft. Fresh off the heels of his latest EP release, "Not C But K," on the esteemed Homage label, Paperkraft invites us into his world, where melodies intertwine with memories, and beats pulsate with the rhythm of life.

As we embark on this journey of auditory exploration, we are greeted by the mellifluous tones of Paperkraft's compositions, each note a testament to the artist's unwavering dedication and unparalleled vision. But what lies beneath the surface of this musical odyssey? What inspires the maestro to craft such captivating symphonies?

In a candid conversation with Torture the Artist, Paperkraft offers a glimpse into his creative process, from the first light of dawn to the quietude of midnight. With a routine as intricate as his melodies, Paperkraft begins his day with a ritualistic pilgrimage in search of inspiration, each step a prelude to the symphony that is about to unfold.

But it is not merely the routine that defines Paperkraft's artistic endeavors; it is the essence of his latest EP that truly sets hearts aflutter. With "Not C But K," Paperkraft embarks on a journey of self-discovery and renewal, a commemorative EP that marks the dawn of a new era for the artist. With remixes from the likes of Australian darling Aldonna and Aiden Francis, the EP transcends boundaries, weaving a tapestry of sound that is as diverse as it is mesmerizing.

Yet, amidst the cacophony of beats and melodies, Paperkraft remains grounded in his roots, drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Japanese electronica. From the pulsating rhythms of Kensuke Fukushima to the hypnotic melodies of Fumiya Tanaka, Paperkraft pays homage to the pioneers of a burgeoning movement, a movement that seeks to redefine the landscape of electronic music in Japan and beyond.

As we delve deeper into the labyrinth of Paperkraft's musical journey, we cannot help but marvel at the audacity of vision and the brilliance of execution. From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the tranquil shores of Kansai, Paperkraft's music transcends borders and boundaries, uniting souls in a symphony of sound.

And as the curtain falls on this captivating discourse, we are left with a sense of awe and admiration for the maestro who continues to push the boundaries of electronic artistry. With each beat, each melody, Paperkraft reaffirms his rightful place as a luminary of the electronic music scene, a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.

@soft-limits, a Prague-based event and music collective welcomes 9 artists from around Europe for the first label release, "Soft Limits VA vol. 1". While maintaining a consistent message of progressive and groovy, each artist has cut out their spot amongst the compilation.

From deep and warp-y to powerful and dance-y, the collection of tracks tells a story of the eclectic taste of Soft Limits. While relying on a home base of traditional trance and house elements, further reaches into more obscure genres tend to leak into each production.

DJ Set at UT Indigo Night Market (Austin, TX - 03.07.2025)

Oh haaa...another Ravecast. Lucky No. 6 starts sweet and spacey, then delivers a fruity, raisin-sweet smokiness that intensifies as the stars enters. Notes of electronic grounds follow with a long, dreamy-spicy finish. Best served pure or on the rocks.
