KAZUNAO NAGATA

KAZUNAO NAGATA
electronica

Kazunao Nagata is a Tokyo-based synth player, DJ, mastering engineer and producer. A key figure in Japanese electronica since the early 1990s, Nagata was also a powerful channel for other music, having managed more than half a dozen labels including Ext Recordings. Nagata is still very much unknown outside Japan.

His prolific and delightfully eclectic activities as a performer include: modern exotica duo Fantastic Explosion; primitive tribal hardcore unit Elektro Humangle; experimental house/noise unit CARRE+ORGANIZATION; improvisation at the controls of his legendary ARP-2600; and transcendent DJ sets.

SuperDeluxe Tokyo has had the pleasure of featuring many facets of Nagata’s genius over recent years and SuperDeluxe@Artspace is extremely proud to bring his latest project – duo with Tsugaru shamisen player Dai Yamamoto – to Australian shores for their first ever performance outside Japan.
