Keita Sano is a prolific Japanese producer whose tracks range from sunny disco-house to noisy lo-fi techno, occasionally venturing into other styles such as glitch-hop and jungle. The Okayama-based artist first began making jazz before switching to electronic music, preferring to produce tracks rather than DJ. A few EPs appeared online in 2012, and his self-titled debut album was released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Strictly+Groove+Recordings%22">Strictly Groove Recordings</a> in early 2013. His tracks began hitting turntables in 2014, with rough techno single "People Are Changing" (on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mister+Saturday+Night%22">Mister Saturday Night</a>) grabbing the attention of tastemakers like Resident Advisor. In 2015, Canadian label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%221080p%22">1080p</a> released Holding New Cards, a sprawling 70-minute cassette containing some of Sano's most daring productions to date. 12" singles and EPs kept coming on at least a dozen other labels, including <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Holic+Trax%22">Holic Trax</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Rett+I+Fletta%22">Rett I Fletta</a> (who also released Sano's self-titled full-length), and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sheik+%27N%27+Beik+Records%22">Sheik 'N' Beik Records</a>. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
