Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Risa Taniguchi’s tracks lean on thumping kicks, cavernous sub-bass, dusty hi-hats, and distorted textures, with tight vocal samples cutting through the mix. Her sets are built for late-night pressure: tough, stripped, and tuned for a dark room.

More about Risa Taniguchi

She comes out of Tokyo’s underground techno circuit and cites London’s UK bass sounds as part of her vocabulary. Her releases on CLR and the support from Dave Clarke, Kelly Lee Owens, and Luke Slater put her in that harder, no-frills techno lane rather than a glossy peak-time one.
