Wata Igarashi

Wata Igarashi is one of Japan's leading techno artists. His sound can be summarized as a "cosmic drama," expressing his characteristic unique combination of power and psychedelia. Igarashi's meticulous approach reflects a certain Japanese aesthetic, making us recognize the coexistence of strength and beauty. His tracks are precisely designed to maximize the impact of his trademark arpeggios and sound design on the dance floor. This ethos is equally evident in his DJ sets and live performances, where his tight mixing and precise progression control create a powerful fusion of energy and emotion. Having released on labels such as Figure, Semantica, Time to Express, The Bunker NY, Omnidisc, Bitta, and Midgar, Igarashi has recently been developing his own label, WIP, as an output for his own music. Furthermore, his remixes are in high demand, with his version of Aurora Halal's track being a standout on RA's top tracks of 2019. Based in Tokyo, Igarashi regularly tours the world, exploring and refining his singular vision of electronic music.
