The late KAGAMI was the producer who sparked the "TOKYO DISCO" phenomenon and reigned over the Japanese techno scene in the early two thousands.  
From his first album "Broken Sequencer", released by Frogman Records in 1998 and which made a huge impact on a bunch of Techno Heads in Japan, the robust techno banger "Hyper Wheels" is refocused by Abend Kollektiv, and revives as "Hyper Wheels Redux".  
This long awaited 2024 version has been remastered and also remixed by DJ SHUFFLEMASTER, known as one of the first generation of the Japanese techno scene, and even includes a remix by KAGAMI's buddy TOKTOK from Berlin. 

ゼロ年代に「TOKYO DISCO」現象を巻き起こし、日本のテクノシーンで圧倒的な存在感を放ったプロデューサー・KAGAMIによる98年発表の1stアルバム「Broken Sequencer」から、テクノバンガー「Hyper Wheels」にabend kollektivが再びフォーカスし、2024年リマスター12インチ「Hyper Wheels Redux」として復活。日本のテクノシーン第1世代として知られるDJ SHUFFLEMASTERがリマスタリングとリミックスを行い、さらにKAGAMIの朋友であるベルリンのテクノユニット、TOKTOKのリミックスも収録。

Hyper Wheels Redux

abend kollektiv limited 04 / KAGAMI / Hyper Wheels Redux [snippets]

The longtime Perlon affiliate goes for big basslines and big grooves. 

It's 1996, and a young Fumiya Tanaka is shelling out hefty yet minimal percussive techno at Club Rockets in Osaka to an audience enraptured. Released as Mix-Up, the 90-minute recording captures Tanaka sounding rather like Jeff Mills or Surgeon. It's far cry from the sound he's known for today.

Fumiya Tanaka's creative arc has seen him move away from these thunderous sounds to warmer shades of house and minimal. Since 2016, he's found a home on the inimitable German minimal label, crafting out a distinctive sound within the labels roster with an affection for tumbling basslines and spooky atmospheres. 

From 1996 to 2023, Tanaka ran a party series in Tokyo, Osaka and Berlin called "Chaos," which encapsulates the ethos of freedom Tanaka brings to a party. "When you hear music you've never heard before and encounter unknown territory, you will be so happy and totally absorbed," he told us back in 2019. "I want to keep that feeling."

RA.964 achieves exactly that. Nearly three decades removed from his burst onto the scene, and after a good few years of asking, Tanaka's RA Podcast captures him in full house mode. Recorded at a Slapfunk party in Manchester, the Perlon maestro keeps the vibe funked-up, chunky and warm, punctuated by the occasional big breakdown and the odd lick of garage rudeness. No tracklist for now—but as Tanaka knows well, half the fun lies in the mystery.
