The first-ever live recording from an elusive icon of dubby electronic music.
In 2001, a striking 12" called Ship-Scope emerged through the classic Chain Reaction, credited to one Shinichi Atobe, with no other info available. Then he went back to his day job—until, after 13 years of silence, an even better follow-up emerged.
From the near-perfect Butterfly Effect onwards, Atobe has built up one of the most revered catalogues in underground circles. A steady clip of elegant, transportive dub techno and deep electronics has arrived on Demdike Stare's DDS, complimented by the launch of his own label, plastic & sounds, earlier this summer.
You'll hear Atobe's first-ever show, from 2023, and second-ever interview on RA.1009: a hypnotic yet comparatively pumping set full of unreleased Atobe material you won't find anywhere else.
