Kiyama, Akiko ??? 7 Years {District of Corruption}

Akiko Kiyama is an exceptionally talented young laptop musician.?? She was born in Tokyo, Japan and discovered her expressive music passion during her early teen years through classical music performance.?? She got hooked on U.K. drum & bass and the electronic club scene and by age 20 started pumping out her own style on select EP???s .?? She now lives in Berlin, Germany expanding upon her impressive skills.?? Richie Hawtin digs her murky minimalist dance flavor so she???s obviously tweaking the right ears.?? Akiko Kiyama???s debut full length album seems like a nice fusion of synthetics, samples, squeaks, scratches, squiggles, and sleek slaps geared & produced for crazy club kids looking for a fun fresh sound.?? Her micro techno is influenced by IDM, Jungle, maybe even some Acid House & possibly Kraftwerk.?? She???s got some nice fluty breezes, impeccably rhythmic sensibilities, trippy other worldly tones, masterful mixing & balance, vivid imagination, and a predisposition towards hip addictive electronic music.????????
