A superior piece of stellar techno that contains heavy trance trace elements and is on a label that sounds like it has Japanese corporate identity. Hiroshi Watanabe hasn’t put anything out under his own name for a couple of years, but started doing so in 1996 on Nite Grooves. This is techno, but the devil’s in the detail and in the foreground of the dramatic sweeping synths there’s a jazzy, improvisational nucleus. He also records as Kaito for Kompakt, where his sound is more full on trance orientated. This piece, however, is very Detroit – inspired, with layers of soul and a complementary sense of scope.
