My Supernova – Dekmantel UFO 19

Wata Igarashi’s debut album on Dekmantel is a high-voltage techno trip brimming with the Japanese producer’s usual hypnotic loops, tunnelling rhythms and psychoactive arpeggios. Tracks like ‘Shockwave’, ‘Meltzone’ and ‘Unleashed’ showcase a more intense, hi-octane side of Igarashi’s sound with acid-fuelled frenzies and pitch-bent peaks that electrify the grooves. Yet the album also balances intensity with nuance: ‘Supernova’ spirals into ecstatic, layered synths that thrill without brute force. Precision, creativity, and immersive energy collide across the record so it is both a dancefloor weapon and an enriching for the mind. Igarashi continues to redefine the boundaries of modern techno here.
