Risa Taniguchi has unveiled a new EP, ‘Cared Less’, via Mind Medizin. Listen to ‘Direct Lines’ below.
The Tokyo-born DJ and producer follows up killer releases for CLR, Mood and Kneaded Pains, with her latest suite of shadowy techno. Out today (Friday, 30th May) on Lady Tazz’s Mind Medizin imprint, ‘Cared Less’ encompasses three fiery new cuts all produced earlier this year. There’s the dark and ravey title track, with its incisive drums and hard-edged tech core, followed by the steamy club workout ‘Direct Lines’ – premiering below – and precisely-tuned grooves of ‘Hypes Come Hypes Go’, which rounds out the project on a lo-fi dancefloor tip.
The EP arrives ahead of Taniguchi’s US and EU tour in June, featuring stops in LA, Berlin, Barcelona and beyond. It’s the start of the rising Japanese artist’s busiest summer yet, as she continues to carve out her own lane in the dark techno resurgence. Check out Taniguchi’s full 2025 tour schedule here.
