Akiko "Ant"
- Words: Bryant Rutledge
- Label: District Of Corruption
What would we do without art during times of struggle? Well we wouldn't have the music of Akiko Kiyama, for one thing, who reportedly pulled herself out of a severe emotional slump by learning and writing techno tracks back in 2001. Fast forward to 2008 and we find the Berlin-based, classically trained producer licensing tracks to Richie Hawtin, performing around the world, and, now, releasing her debut solo album, Seven Years. A collection of club bangers, wild percussion moments, Japanese string arrangements, and plenty of melody, the album also marks the first release for the District of Corruption imprint. Expect much more from this lady in the coming months.

I read the review about her record in the last issue and I was curious as to what she sounded like. Thanks for posting this. Wasn't what I expected but interesting nonetheless. Def. want to hear more.
