Biography
Wata Igarashi, producer/DJ, spent his childhood absorbing the cultural eclecticism of Tokyo, London, and Madrid. At fifteen, he began his music career in Madrid as a punk-guitarist for a skate-rock band called F.O.D., frequently playing at skate championships and live-houses and getting featured in Spanish Skate magazines.
After his return to Tokyo, he shifted his musical focus to less convention-following free-improvisation and jazz, and formed an experimental instrumental band called Indigo Cage Airlines. They’ve released two albums “Indigo Cage Airlines” and “Occupied Vacant”.
Recently, he has been directing his diverse musical energies toward the dance floor and producing some distinctive, deep techno tracks. Of his creations, says Wata, “When I make a song I want to make sure that the song is trippy enough to take you somewhere.” Clearly, as an early globetrotter himself, he wants to send his listeners on a journey of their own. The music he produces is made up of a myriad of elements from his diverse musical background. He seamlessly runs the genre gamut, merging andre-shaping earlier influences of punk with more sophisticated free-form jazz and sharpening his chops on more cutting- edge, deep techno groove and electronic beats. He’s served well by inventive sensibilities and a keen understanding of modern technological tools now at the disposal of musicians and composers.
