Shigeto

Shigeto (aka Zach Saginaw) is an electronic musician from Michigan. Born and raised on a diet of Motown and Jazz in good old US of A, he still pays homage to his family roots in Japan with his alias name, meaning ‘to grow bigger’.

He almost flunked school, but kept his musical interest alive and continued to study in London and New York. He has released EPs under other alias’, such as Frank Omura with Unshaven Face and All Rise. He has also done remixes for Worst Friends, Praveen & Benoit, Tycho, Mux Mool, Charles Trees, A Setting Sun, Beautiful Bells, and Shlohmo.

But his recent EP New Crossings as Shigeto makes you really sit up and take notice. Its outright beautiful! A weird clash of ambience, synthetic melody, IDM, dubstep sub-bass and fractured rhythms make this album so engaging. Its works… so well.

As usual here is one of my favourites, the rest is up to you…

This is not from the EP New Crossings, but i like it all the same.
