Go Hiyama guests on this week’s Mantis Radio. Catch the show live on futuremusic FM, July 23, 2013. Broadcasting 8pm UK.

Fresh from our recent takeover show on RTÉ 2FM, covering for Irish techno stalwart Sunil Sharpe we keep things in the land of heavy edged techno thud but travel to Japan to draft in a session from Tokyo’s Go Hiyama. The special broadcast featured an incredible mix by the dark techno lord of Manchester, Casual Violence, and an interview with the mysterious Death Abyss. Quite possibly their first and only interview.

Go Hiyama
Tokyo, Japan has quite the love affair with techno. They worship Jeff Mills and welcome with open arms some of the worlds best practitioners and pushers of the sound. Not to mention Dommune. Yet they also have their homegrown talent – one such ambassador for Japanese techno is Go Hiyama.

His production work is championed by Bas Mooy, Oscar Mulero, Token, Perc Trax, and Paul Boex amongst others – whilst being supported by just about any decent DJ you care to name pushing the harder, tougher stuff. HueHelix, his current label project, continues to release some fine and fierce techno – their latest Tomohiko Sagae’s Sleep Deprivation EP is frankly. Dangerous.

His exclusive Mantis Radio session promises to be a captivating thunder thud workout.

Elsewhere in the show new music from Mika Vainio, Charlton, H8R, Robert Pain, Alex Smoke, Borealis, Samuel Kerridge, Ingen and more.
