He signed his first project on Montreal&#8217;s Liquid Love Records. <em>An Attidude<\/em> is a solid six-track album infused with the original techno of the 1980s, the one we would call &#8220;proto-techno&#8221;. Kanse explores electro-funk roots to which he adds his touch by working on textures and bass in a more contemporary way. PAN M 360 met him to discuss his assumed reminiscences, his relationship with nature, his creative process and the underground techno scene in the Japanese metropolis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : <em>An Attitude<\/em> is your first album. What did you find difficult and how did you overcome those difficulties?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : I had been making tracks without thinking about having people listen to them, but this is the first time I have made tracks with releasing in mind. I felt that I had not put enough effort into my tracks before. I would get stuck if I faced music alone all the time, so I intentionally made time to distance myself from music or talked with friends to refresh myself. I think that taking some time off allows me to look at my own tracks objectively, and I feel more motivated to create, and ideas seem to come to me naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : What is the last book you read\/or a book you read while working on <em>An Attitude<\/em> that particularly nourished your creativity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : To be honest, I haven&#8217;t been reading much lately. My creativity comes mainly from music and club events. Also, movies, traveling, and meeting new people are sources of my creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : When I listen to <em>An Attitude<\/em>, I kind of feel the Detroit \u201cproto techno\u201d vibe, represented by artists like Cybotron. Was it part of your inspirations and more generally, what were your inspirations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : I think there is a strong influence by classic techno in my music. I like 80s Electro, such as Cybotron&#8217;s Clear. It has a unique atmosphere, is danceable and interesting. Not only 80s but also 90s techno releases are also inspiring. I especially listen to Drexciya and DopplerEffekt a lot and I am quite influenced by their drum patterns and bass lines. Also, there are many artists in the world who are still making these Electro-inspired tracks, so their music is also a motivation for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : What is the link between your work as a music producer and the relationship you have with nature? (Your Bandcamp profile picture, and the description of the album makes a lot of references to nature as well, the 4<sup>th<\/sup> elements, etc.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : I like nature. When I am stuck on making music, I often take a walk along the river near my apartment. I feel that getting in touch with nature is the most refreshing and brings my mind back to neutral. I am not directly influenced by nature in my music, but I would like to try my hand at that someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : What kind of gear do you use to produce music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : I mainly use Minilogue, MS-101, and ESX. I also use MakeNoise&#8217;s 0-coast occasionally. I use Ableton Live as my DAW. Basically, I use hardware, but sometimes I make music with DAW only. Recently, I bought a new Elektron Syntakt, so I&#8217;ve been working on a few tracks with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : What can you tell us about the electronic music scene in Tokyo? Is it more a club scene, an underground scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : The events are mainly held in clubs and live houses. I have not been to any events overseas, but I think the music scene in Tokyo is more underground than Europe and North america. I have the impression that the music scene in Tokyo is particularly strong in experimental and avant-garde genres. And also there seems to be a strong connection with indie rock. There are many events that mix various genres in Tokyo. I enjoy that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : Who are the main actors of electronic music scene in Tokyo (crews, artists, promoters\u2026) and can you tell us about few places that are helping grow the electronic music community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : It&#8217;s hard to answer this question because Tokyo has various scenes dividedly. The events I often go to these days are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hydrosy_tokyo\/\">HYDROSY<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/discipline_tyo\/\">Discipline<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/museifu.dystopia\/\">\u7121\u653f\u5e9c <\/a>Dystopia (Museifu Dystopia). Organizers, DJs and artists at each event are a great inspiration to me. My favorite club venues are VENT in Omotesando, BUSHBASH in Koiwa, and SPREAD in Shimokitazawa. I think the record store <a href=\"https:\/\/naminohana-records.com\/\">Naminohana<\/a> also plays an important role in supporting the Japanese club scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360 : What are your plans next ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KANSE : I have a lot of ideas I want to make into music, so I just want to make more tracks. I think this album is a big step forward for me as an artist. I would like to continue releasing more in the future. Also, I have been making music without much awareness of the Japanese music scene, but I would like to approach that and do live performances, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kanse is a Japanese electronic music producer based in Tokyo.
