Seiichiro Itoyama - Entropy / Unravelling (2023)

Japanese artist Seiichiro Itoyama arrives on Counterchange with a dextrous debut of purist techno electronics. After laying the groundwork with a string of smoked-out, minimalist releases on his own Liminal imprint, the Budapest-based producer now presents his most dynamic body of work to date.

Taking a welcome non-conventional approach to production, Itoyama's sonic language travels effortlessly from textural minimal techno rumblings, up-tempo broken beat studies, and hypnotizing melodic ambience. Each track patiently builds and recedes, creating perfect tools for ambitious DJs.
