Shun

DJ / Producer based on Tokyo. In his youth he had a passion for black music, mainly Hiphop and Funk, during his college days he developed a deep interest in club culture and started his career as a DJ. His DJ style which seamlessly connects the genres of Italo Disco, Techno, Electro etc.forms the basis of his current musical output. Alongside a long career as a DJ , he continued to experiment as a producer and worked hard to develop his own signature style of music. "I have been influenced by songs that have characteristic features of bass,I wanted to create tracks that have that characteristic bassline in my own production activities,resulting in my own unique sound. I was playing everything with my own hands, meaning that the melody had limitations. I was searching for various ways to expand my sound, then I discovered the hardware sequencer. After that the width of my tracks has expanded dramatically and my productivity has greatly increased." Having acquired a new style he released the' Amplifier' EP on Japan's DPRB Records in 2016, This EP contained three tracks of dark Techno,it was noticed by Arnaud Rebotini of Black Strobe Records. "I had an opportunity to meet Arnaud once, I listened carefully to what he liked about my track. He mentioned the strong bassline and analog warmth, and said it was a song that he could listen to for a long time. I was so happy to hear this,as I considered those my strong points " In his tracks, analog synths and drum machine sounds are often used. But the resulting tracks have a contemporary sound for today's listeners. "Recently I have also been affected by a bit more solid sound, but analog synths and drum machines are and will be key to making tracks all the time." Steel Garage showcasing all facets of his style will be released soon on Black Strobe Records.
