Elusive Japanese producer Shinichi Atobe's sound has evolved from abstract, dubby minimal techno to brighter, more melodic deep house. Originally appearing in 2001 with an EP on cult dub techno label Chain Reaction, the artist had disappeared for over a decade when British duo Demdike Stare convinced him to release further material. Atobe's debut full-length, Butterfly Effect, was issued to much acclaim in 2014, and he continued releasing albums, including warmer, sunnier efforts like 2018's Heat and 2022's Love of Plastic.
