FALE FM FOUNDATIONS #0031 - KANSE “CONNECTION”

Tokyo-based producer and DJ, Kanse gives us connection. Inspired from the foundations of 90s electro, weaving the sounds of classic club culture into a constantly evolving sonic language. With a sound in the underground of Tokyo, Kanse moves between familiar influences and forward-thinking explorations, bringing a fresh perspective to the dancefloor.

With releases on Liquid Love Records, Club Designs and Ovelha Trax, Kanse continues to carve out a space within the international underground electronic scene.

Beyond the studio and behind the decks, Kanse runs Abducted Groove, a party series and record label connecting DJs across a broad spectrum of underground sounds. Moving beyond the boundaries of electro, the project champions musical exchange, unexpected connections and the diverse sounds that make underground club culture what it is.

For this Foundations selection, Kanse summons more inspiration from a year of travelling, discovering new places, festivals and local music scenes. What began as visits to unfamiliar countries became an opportunity to connect with wonderful people through music, with many of those connections continuing long after the journey.

Bringing together discoveries from the road with longtime favourites, the mix moves through electro and acid, touching on EBM, house and ambient along the way. More than a snapshot of a particular sound, it's a collection shaped by shared experiences, new encounters and familiar comforts.

When asked what home means to him, Kanse describes it as a community where he can relax, a place shared with the people who matter most, and somewhere that brings him back to the things he values. It's a sentiment that runs through this selection: a little piece of everywhere, connected by music, memories and the people who make a place feel like home.

One track that captures this feeling for Kanse is Xtal by Aphex Twin. The track was his introduction to electronic music and remains a lasting point of connection. For him, it represents a sense of peace and the utopia that exists within people's hearts. A fitting reminder that sometimes home isn't necessarily a place, but a feeling you find in music.

With open arms, Fale FM is pleased to welcome Kanse to the aiga.
