Slam Radio 639 – DJ Shufflemaster Tracklist
Tatsuya Kanamori quickly became one of the few Japanese techno producers to rise to worldwide prominence within the late 90’s techno scene with his productions and remixes as DJ Shufflemaster.
Originally a committed member of the Tokyo-based label Subvoice, where he released several of his early EPs, Kanamori’s reputation outside of Japan was greatly aided by his affiliation with European techno heavyweights such as Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Ben Sims and Carl Lekebusch.
It was no surprise that Berlin-based Tresor knocked on the door and offered Kanamori the opportunity to record her first full-length album. In 2001, he appeared via Tresor, a full-length LP packed with a string of dancefloor-oriented techno productions featuring Kanamori’s trademark aesthetic, making him one of the first Japanese techno producers to achieve worldwide recognition.
