Reclaim Your City 640 | DJ HI-C

Six-time turntablism champ turned sleek tech groove-provider, Japanese DJ and producer DJ HI-C has had many lives before settling as a merchant of stripped-back, zen-like ambiences and mesmeric club rhythms. Elegant and dynamic, his productions sit halfway deeply organic, atmospheric blends and a further steely, hi-velocity strain of techno. Mind-bending by nature, his mixes open a wide window into a pulsating headspace, rife with ebullient bass drive and obsessive loops, constantly pushing the envelope of danceable material as we know it. Tailored to emphasize the impact of a limited number of components rather than drowning his listener under an avalanche of sonic stimuli, HI-C unleashes a storm of painstakingly textured layers and ripping melodic stabs. Bringing together minimalism with soul is an art, and HI-C is an absolute master at that.
